rtweet (version 1.2.1)

users_data: Get tweets from users, or users from tweets

Description

Twitter API endpoints that return tweets also return data about the users who tweeted, and most endpoints that return users also return their last tweet. Showing these additional columns would clutter the default display, so rtweet instead stores in special attributes and allows you to show them with the user_data() and tweets_data() helpers.

Usage

users_data(tweets)

tweets_data(users)

Value

user_data() returns a data frame of users; tweets_data()

returns a data frame of tweets.

Arguments

tweets

A data frame of tweets.

users

A data frame of users.

Examples

Run this code
if (auth_has_default()) {
  # find users from tweets
  tweets <- search_tweets("r")
  users_data(tweets)
  full_search <- cbind(tweets, users_data(tweets))

  # from tweets from users
  users <- search_users("r")
  tweets_data(users)
  full_users <- cbind(users, tweets_data(users))
}
