rtweet provides users a range of functions designed to extract data from Twitter's REST and streaming APIs.
It has three main goals:
Compose and request calls to Twitter's API following (the best practices for writing an API package) [https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/httr/ vignettes/api-packages.html].
Provide functions that can acccept multiple personal access tokens.
Make extracting data from Twitter seem a little easier.
