Why twitterati

We like to uncomplicate things, and wrappers (except when they actually wrap :gift ) do exactly that.

This package serves as a wrapper for Twitter API V2 Early Access, for more info: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/early-access.

What is new in Twitter API V2?

• Pick and choose which fields you want the API to return
• Advanced insights using annotations, which adds named entity tags to certain topics, such as (Barack Obama, PERSON)
• Filtered Streaming capabilities (not yet supported by twitterati)
• More expressive query languages

Functions supported by twitterati 0.0.3:

• Tweet lookup by Tweet ID
• Whole conversation lookup by Conversation ID
• Recent search for query terms over past 7 days
• Count occurrences of query term over past 7 days
• User lookup by User ID
• Follows lookup by User ID

Before you get started:

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of the Twitter Developer API: https://developer.twitter.com/en/developer-terms/agreement-and-policy.

Also, take note of the restricted use cases, detailed here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/developer-terms/more-on-restricted-use-cases

You will need to register an account and an application to collect your Bearer token: https://developer.twitter.com/en/apply-for-access

Take note of the rate limits: the Standard Track limits the number of tweets you can collect to 500,000 per month.

You must keep all API keys or other access credentials private.
