I am using the twitter api to scarpe the tweets of a particular word
-
First I created a twitter application and obtained the credentials required for accessing the API then created a words.txt file with random words to serve queries for searching
-
the tweet_scrape.py searches the tweets and json_parse.py converts the json to csv with required columns
-
get_search_query method parses the words.txt file and passes those queries to tweet_search method which takes in the takes in the query to search and the max no. of searches as its parameters( *max_search can be changed by the user (I set it to 5))
-
write_tweets method writes the tweets in separate txt files
-
write_json_tweets is called by tweet_scrape from the json_parse.py which passes the id and tweets and id to write_to_csv method in json_parse.py
