A tool that fetches happy tweets given a search term
It will only retrieve tweets less than 7 days old, as searching the full archive is only allowed for academic research. More information in the official documentation.
Remember that you will need a Twitter Bearer Token
cargo run -- "#banana" -o output.json -t YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
#banana is the search term, replace it with your search
Modify the Dockerfile and replace:
- Twitter Bearer Token
- Your search term
make build #you are suppose to run only once
make runThe term accepts a string as follows: happy-tweet eurovision. You can filter the results using the advance search features that Twitter offers.
Some examples:
- One hashtag:
happy-tweet "#disney" - Ignore retweet
happy-tweet -is:retweet - Multiple hashtags:
happy-tweet "(#dc OR #marvel)" - Specific language:
happy-tweet "lang:de" - Specific author:
happy-tweet "(from:barackobama)"
And of course you can combine them:
happy-tweet "paella lang:es"
happy-tweet "(happy OR happiness) lang:en -birthday -is:retweet"
Read official docs on Advance Search.
How to generate a Bearer Token
You can select the output file path using the flag -o or --output. It will append the new results to the existing file, otherwise it will create the file. The output has a JSON format. By default it will write the output in /dev/stdout.
