Twarc

v1.7.1 adds the ability to filter tweets on language. You can use from the command line, with one or more --lang arguments. So for example this will filter tweets that mention *Paris* or *Madrid* that are written in *French* or *Spanish*.

twarc filter paris,madrid --lang es --lang fr

You can also use programmatically:

python
for tweet in t.filter('paris,madrid', lang=['es', 'sp']):
print(tweet['full_text'])


Thanks for the idea tugrulz and for your patience!

Includes a new Twarc method oembed() which will return the oEmbed JSON for a given tweet. Thanks for the contribution dshahrokhian!

* bug fix for `Twarc.lookup_users`

This release includes improved logging which uses a named logger `twarc` instead of the root logger. Thanks justinlittman!

Added the ability to fetch the authenticating user's home timeline with the *timeline* command when no user id or screen name is supplied.

twarc timeline > timeline.jsonl

This release improves the media URL reporting in the CSV output 239. Thanks to lotsoaxolotls for reporting it.
