twarc-edits

twarc-edits adds a new edits twarc command that lets you filter collected twitter data to find tweets that have been edited. Outputted data is flattened since not all tweets in a single response from the Twitter API may contain edited tweets.

Install

To install you will need to:

pip3 install twarc-edits

Use

First you will need to collect some data with twarc:

twarc2 search politics tweets.jsonl

Then you can filter it:

twarc2 edits tweets.jsonl edited-tweets.jsonl

Or use a pipeline if you only want to keep the edits:

twarc2 search politics | twarc2 edits - edited-tweets.jsonl
