No project description provided

twarc-divide

twarc-divide adds a new divide twarc command that lets you divide collected twitter data by date or a custom temporal window.

Install

To install you will need to:

pip3 install twarc-divide

Use

First you will need to collect some data with twarc:

twarc2 search politics tweets.jsonl

Then you can divide them by day:

mkdir days/
twarc2 divide tweets.jsonl days/

This will create in the directory days/ an output file for each day whose name will be the date. If the output file already exists, it will append the output to it.

You can also change the granularity of the temporal windows used:

mkdir hours/
twarc2 divide --granularity hour tweets.jsonl hours/
