r - Twitter mining - how many API 'get-requests' am I making? -
i using r packahe twitter pull tweet information twitter api. log in via oauth follows:
setup_twitter_oauth(consumerkey, consumersecret, accesstoken, accesstokensecret)
this works fine. use function searchtwitter
information 15 search terms (smaller example below) using following loop:
searchterms <- c(`term1` = "barrack obama", `term2` = "donald duck") for(i in 1:length(terms)) { raw_tweets[[i]] <- searchtwitter(searchterms[i], n = 99999, since = as.date(sys.time()), lang = "en", resulttype = 'recent') }
this work - timed out several times during process (this shorter example won't!) , need wait "15 minutes minus time taken use alotted 180 requests"
i under impression making 15 requests , data in 1 go.
what missing? 1 day count 1 request?
this shows me limits on running connection api:
my_limits <- twitter::getcurratelimitinfo()
the value seems affected (from 64 categories) of /search/tweets
:
> my_limits[61,] resource limit remaining reset 61 /search/tweets 180 180 2016-02-05 21:54:57
i can't find information on dev website regarding constitutes one use of resource - neither can find in the source code of package helps me.
as using function , not familiar actual api interface through json
cannot provide more information.
