jnj-tweets

This repository collects twitter data and stores it to my own personal s3 bucket. More specifically, it…

• Uses rtweet to search for tweets with “johnson and johnson” or “johnson & johnson” in the text.
• Compares new tweets to tweets that I have already collected by filtering out status IDs that already exist.
• Saves the dataset to a personal s3 bucket.
• Does this daily using a cron job from cronR.

I have no real use case for this at the moment. I am more or less just interested in setting up a job to collect data. I think of it as a kind of template that I may come back to if there is any twitter data I’d like to routinely collect.
