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. Best Jakob Am 15. Februar 2020 16:06:49 MEZ schrieb Raul Zambrano <raulza@gmail.com>:
Hi Devayani,
If you use R check up this guide
https://www.earthdatascience.org/courses/earth-analytics/get-data-using-apis...
which is one of many out there.
I use R and rtweet almost on a daily basis for my own research.
Using rtweet search functions one can get up to 90 fields per tweet, several of them covering URLs, including actual source, if available.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Raul

Hi Devayani,
I think it is possible to do it with python and/or R. I use R with rtweet For my Twitter work. I haven't tracked a link myself but I suspect you can do it with the following code in R.
#--------------- library(rtweet)
api_token = rtweet::create_token(app = "app_name",consumer_key = "consumer_key",consumer_secret = "consumer_secret_key",access_token = "access_token_key",access_secret = "access_secret_key",set_renv = F)
link = "your_link"
link_tweets = search_tweets(q = link,n = 18000,type = "recent", include_rts = TRUE,retryonratelimit = T, token = api_token)
write_as_csv(x = link_tweets,file_name = "link_tweets.csv",prepend_ids = T,na = "",fileEncoding = "UTF-8") #------------------
You need to create a developer account to connect to API. It's free and it is not a big hassle.
Hope it helps ??
Best, Sina

Hello list,
I have been trying to figure out how to get data about spread of a link on Twitter. I see a lot of tools that can provide data on hashtags, users, search terms but haven't figured out how to search for links on twitter. Any help is appreciated.
