[Air-L] Twitter Scraper

[Karine Nahon]

Dominique, 
Note that harvesting data in case of viral information is more complicated because of limitations (how much information can you basically mine) which exist in different APIs.

    Dear Dominique,
    
    please look at this site (http://socialmediadata.wikidot.com/) for an
    extended list of social media tools. Many are stand alone applications and
    some are packages within another software environment. Some focus on
    tweets, while others on networks. Depending what you need one or the other
    might serve your need.
    Because your project seems issue related, a tool using the search API for
    hashtag sampling seems most appropriate. I use yourtwapperkeeper
    (standalone on a linux machine) and streamR in R (windows Mac or Linux).
    The benefit of using a package in R is that R you can use R subsequently
    for further analysis. But it's a steep learning curve, but definitely pays
    off in the long run.
