Arguments

q

Search query on which to match/filter tweets. See details for information about available search operators.

n

Number of tweets to return; it is best to set this number in intervals of 100 for the '30day' API and either 100 (for sandbox) or 500 (for paid) for the 'fullarchive' API. Default is 100.

env_name

safedir

parse

Logical indicating whether to convert data into data frame.

token

A token associated with a user-created APP (requires a developer account), which is converted to a bearer token in order to make premium API requests
