twitterwebsearch

The goal of this Python package is to automate the process for finding tweets older than several weeks. These older tweets cannot be found using the Twitter search API, but can be found through the web interface.

Installation:

pip install https://github.com/ShinNoNoir/twitterwebsearch/archive/master.zip

Small example:

import json
import twitterwebsearch

QUERY = '@shinnonoir since:2010-01-20 until:2010-02-01'

def main():
    tweets = twitterwebsearch.search(QUERY)
    tweets = list(tweets) # convert generator into list
    print json.dumps(tweets, indent=2)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
