What is rtweet?

rtweet is an R client to interact with the Twitter API. This means that you can easily “scrape” data from Twitter for a personal, academic, or other kind of project. Examples might include creating:

  • a map of tweets that meet some filter criteria
  • a network graph that shows users and followers
  • looking at frequencies of various kinds of tweets over time to make inferences
