[Air-L] Extracting Twitter Data

[Mosallaeipour,Fatemeh]

Dear colleagues,

I hope this email finds you all well and safe.
Help needed! I am trying to download the videos and tweets shared in a specific period. I only need the information on public accounts that is accessible for any Twitter user: the name of the user who has shared it, the date, the video, and the tweet itself. I have been using the advanced search tool on Twitter, entering the date, and desired hashtags and accounts. It is a huge amount of data and I have to redo the process once more to get some more information and complete what I currently have. I have already looked for codes; however, a friend informed me that such information is only available for free, even with coding, for the last 30 days. I am looking to retrieve data from last November though.

Has anyone gone through the same obstacle? Is that true that the only way for me is to do it manually? If not, is there any code for R?

I appreciate your help!

Best,
