[Air-L] Twitter data related to a link

[Jakob Jünger]

Hi Devayani,

maybe give Facepager a try: https://github.com/strohne/Facepager

There is a search preset for hashtags that can be used to search for links. The linked Twitter documentation might be helpful as well. Disclaimer: I'm an author of Facepager.
