rtweet (version 0.7.0)

get_favorites: Get tweets data for statuses favorited by one or more target users.

Description

Returns up to 3,000 statuses favorited by each of one or more specific Twitter users.

Usage

get_favorites(
  user,
  n = 200,
  since_id = NULL,
  max_id = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  token = NULL
)

Value

A tbl data frame of tweets data with users data attribute.

Arguments

user

Vector of user names, user IDs, or a mixture of both.

n

Specifies the number of records to retrieve. Defaults to 200. 3000 is the max number of favorites returned per token. Due to suspended or deleted content, this function may return fewer tweets than the desired (n) number. Must be of length 1 or of length equal to the provided number of users.

since_id

Returns results with an status_id greater than (that is, more recent than) the specified status_id. There are limits to the number of tweets returned by the REST API. If the limit is hit, since_id is adjusted (by Twitter) to the oldest ID available.

max_id

Character, returns results with an ID less than (that is, older than) or equal to `max_id`.

parse

Logical, indicating whether to return parsed vector or nested list object. By default, parse = TRUE saves you the time [and frustrations] associated with disentangling the Twitter API return objects.

token

Every user should have their own Oauth (Twitter API) token. By default token = NULL this function looks for the path to a saved Twitter token via environment variables (which is what `create_token()` sets up by default during initial token creation). For instruction on how to create a Twitter token see the tokens vignette, i.e., `vignettes("auth", "rtweet")` or see ?tokens.
