How to count number of tweets via Twitter API

Is it possible to send a request to Twitter API, just to count number of tweets between two dates?

settings = {
    'search_words': ['#BTC' or 'Bitcoin' or '$BTC'],
    'date_since': "2021-04-09",
    'date_until': "2021-04-16"
}

and then get just the number of tweets in a mentioned time?

Solution

  • The paid premium 30 day search API has a count function. The standard 7 day search API does not have this feature and you have to count the Tweets returned for yourself.
