A twarc plugin to read Twitter data and output the tweet ids

Project description

twarc-ids

This module is a simple example of how to create a plugin for twarc. It uses click-plugins to extend the main twarc command, and to manage the command line options.

First you need to install twarc and this plugin:

pip install twarc
pip install twarc-ids

Now you can collect data using the core twarc utility:

twarc search blacklivesmatter > tweets.jsonl

And you have a new subcommand ids that is supplied by twarc-ids.

twarc ids tweets.jsonl > ids.txt

It's good practice to include some tests for your module. See test_twarc_ids.py for an example. You can run it directly with pytest or using:

python setup.py test

When creating your setup.py make sure you don't forget the entry_points magic so that twarc will find your plugin when it is installed!
