I am doing a twitter analysis on a few selected users on R. I used the twitteR package to get user data, and their tweets.
However there is a limitation of 3200 tweets on each user, but I would like to do an analysis on the number of tweets, retweets and replies by a particular user over time (probably since opening their user account). Is there any way of getting these numbers?
The Twitter API timeline for individual users is 3200 Tweets. The way to get more than that would be to use the full-archive search API, which is commercial. That does also provide a specific “count” endpoint that would enable you to discover how many times a specific user account Tweeted within a time period. I don’t think twitteR is developed any more, and rTweet is a more-commonly-used package now - I believe that it may have support for the premium full-archive search features, but you would want to check that.
