In this vignette, I do not really post the tweet. I only retrieve its content.

  • Update stored tweets information
# get last month data
# In this saved dataset, last month is April
last_month_tweets <- all_tweets %>% filter_month(the_month = 4, the_year = 2020)
# update rds data (not run in this example to not modify raw data)
#  and return last_month updated
last_month_updated <- update_data(
  path = rds_file, 
  statuses = last_month_tweets$status_id, 
  return_all = FALSE,
  overwrite = TRUE)
  • Find top tweets
output <- top_tweets(all_tweets = last_month_updated, post_tweet = FALSE, top_number = 5)
  • Show stats
