[Air-L] Twitter data related to a link

[Devayani Tirthali]

Hi Spencer,
I tried TAGS. The problem is it takes the main website url: for example
https://www.altnews.in
<https://www.altnews.in/did-bjp-lose-36-seats-by-a-margin-of-less-than-2000-votes-in-delhi-assembly-elections/>
but not the actual url
https://www.altnews.in/did-bjp-lose-36-seats-by-a-margin-of-less-than-2000-votes-in-delhi-assembly-elections/

I have downloaded some data with website as the search term and trying to
figure out if I can group the tweets based on the specific links.
Unfortunately twitter gives the tiny URL rather than the actual URL so the
only way I can think of right now is to go through each and tag it myself
which is going to take a while.

Would love to hear any other ideas.
Devayani

PS: I forgot to use reply all before. Realized it now.
