Usage
get_timeline(user, n = 200, max_id = NULL, parse = TRUE, clean_tweets = FALSE, as_double = FALSE, token = NULL, ...)
Arguments
user
Screen name or user id of target user.
n
Numeric, number of tweets to return.
max_id
Character, status_id from which returned tweets
should be older than
parse
Logical, indicating whether to return parsed
(data.frames) or nested list (fromJSON) object. By default,
parse = TRUE saves users from the time
[and frustrations] associated with disentangling the Twitter
API return objects.
clean_tweets
logical indicating whether to remove non-ASCII
characters in text of tweets. defaults to FALSE.
as_double
logical indicating whether to handle ID variables
as double (numeric) class. By default, this is set to FALSE, meaning
ID variables are treated as character vectors. Setting this to
TRUE can provide performance (speed and memory) boost but can also
lead to issues when printing and saving, depending on the format.
token
OAuth token. By default token = NULL fetches a
non-exhausted token from an environment variable. Find instructions
on how to create tokens and setup an environment variable in the
tokens vignette (in r, send ?tokens to console).
...
Futher arguments passed on to make_url.
All named arguments that do not match the above arguments
(i.e., count, type, etc.) will be built into the request.
To return only English language tweets, for example, use
lang = "en". Or, to exclude retweets, use
include_rts = FALSE. For more options see Twitter's
API documentation.
