Usage

1. Clone this repository to your local machine

2. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository

3. Run the following command to install the Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the script using the following command:

   python main.py [query]

   where [query] is a string representing your Twitter query as described in igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search.

   This will run a Twitter query based on the given query string and save the result in CSV format.

   By default, the script uses the birdsite.xanny.family instance of nitter, but you can modify this by changing the -Instance parameter in the return_query_results() function in main.py.

Output

The CSV file will be saved in the twint-responses directory in the same directory as the script, and will be named with the date and time of the query and the query string used for the query.
