To first search twitter users we will load the rtweet
library. A library is a collection of functions that someone else has provided so that we don’t have to do the work of explaining to the computer what we want to do. We can just call the already created functions. We use functions from other packages here as well such as the tidyverse
library(rtweet)
library(kableExtra)
library(tidyverse)
The rtweet package includes a function called search_users()
once we have loaded the library we can simply type search_users()
.
Arguments are information we pass to a function so that it knows what kind of information we are interested in returning. For example with search_users()
we might want to give it a term to search users for. Here are the arguments we can pass to search_users()
search_users(q, n = 100, parse = TRUE, token = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
screen_name
, user_name
and description
create_token()
function you can pass it with this argument. It should not be needed for asearch_users()
callThe search_users function returns a list of user objects. User object contain a lot of data on users (90 variables!!) some are not very useful for our research while others can be quite useful. We will look at some useful ones below.
@
name for the account it is permanentHere is an example output for what search_users returns. This is a very Long table (90 variables!!) but you can scroll sideways to see it all.
data <- search_users(q = "chico", n = 10, verbose = FALSE)
kable(data, "html") %>%
kable_styling("striped") %>%

This is an example of using the search_users() to find 10 users with the query term “chico”. This is the same function call we made above to show the results in the table.
search_users("chico", n = 10, verbose = FALSE)
We will now run that same query again and save the results we save into a variable called statuses
so that we can further manipulate the data.
statuses <- search_users("chico", n=10, verbose = FALSE)
We can use this data in a variety of ways. One thing we can do is visualize the number of lifetime tweets for individual users.
ggplot(statuses, mapping = aes(y = statuses_count, x = screen_name )) + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=60, size = 7, vjust = 0.5)) + geom_bar(stat="identity", fill="steelblue") + labs(y = "Total Tweets", x = "Screen Name") + ggtitle("User Tweet Totals")
We can use the lifetime tweets and the date that they created their account to determine how active each user is (tweets/time). First, we can create a new column to represent the number of weeks that a person has had their account.
statuses <- statuses %>% select(statuses_count, account_created_at, screen_name)
statuses$timeHadAccount <- sapply(statuses$account_created_at, function(x){
d <- as.POSIXct(Sys.time())
d2 <- as.POSIXct(format(d, tz="UTC", usetz=TRUE), tz="UTC")
return(difftime(d2, x, units ="weeks"))
})
Next, we can get the ratio of how active each user is (avg number of tweets per week)
statuses$activity <- statuses$statuses_count/statuses$timeHadAccount
Now, we can plot this data to show each user’s level of activity.
ggplot(statuses, mapping = aes(y = activity, x = screen_name )) + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=60, size = 7, vjust = 0.5)) + geom_bar(stat="identity", fill="steelblue") + labs(y = "Ave Tweets per Week", x = "Screen Name") + ggtitle("User Activity Chart")
In this example, I will show how you can use simple pattern matching to find users for the search term corona virus
and specifically mentioned the words “death, dead, infected” in their text description.
users <- search_users("corona virus", n=100, verbose = FALSE)
The code below creates a new column in the data. A 1 will be placed in the column for that user if they mentioned any of the words we are searching for, and a 0 if they did not.
sick <- c("death|dead|infected")
users$corona_virus <- sapply(users$text, function(x){
if(any(grepl(sick, x))){
return(1)
}
return(0)
})
Now, we can see how many of the 100 users wrote those words.
sum(users$corona_virus)
## [1] 4
This shows us that 3 people mentioned at least one of the three words. We can also see the specific message they sent.
users$text[users$corona_virus == 1]
## [1] "#Breaking: US coronavirus death toll hits 2,000"
## [2] "US #CoronaVirus: To date, a total of 120,076 cases and 1,993 total deaths and #COVID19 deaths have been confirmed in the United States.\n\n#CoronaVirusOutbreak https://t.co/9Wt8WohlNY"
## [3] "ITALY has TODAY confirmed 889 new death cases from coronavirus. Total deaths in Italy now is 10023."
## [4] "#NewsAlert | Iran reports 139 new #coronavirus deaths, raising total to 2,517,\n\n#CoronavirusOutbreak #CoronaUpdate"
Or, if we want to see only the username of the users who said these words in their messages we can use this code:
users$screen_name[users$corona_virus == 1]
## [1] "CoronaNumbers" "CoronaVirusNow" "Obuchunju" "21daylockdown"
