rtweet (version 0.4.0)

parse_stream: parse_stream

Description

parse_stream

Usage

parse_stream(file_name, ...)

Arguments

file_name

name of file to be parsed. NOTE: if file was created via stream_tweets, then it will end in ".json" (see example below)

…

For developmental purposes.

Value

Data frame of tweets data with attributes users data

Details

Reading and simplifying json files can be very slow. To make things more managable, parse_stream_xl does one chunk of Tweets at a time and then compiles the data into a data frame.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## file extension automatically converted to .json whether or
## not file_name already includes .json
stream_tweets(q = "", timeout = 30,
              file_name = "rtweet-stream", parse = FALSE)
rt <- parse_stream("rtweet-stream.json")
## preview tweets data
head(rt)
## preview users data
head(users_data(rt))
## plot time series
ts_plot(rt, "secs")
# }
