twarc-cloud filter and search

[melaniewalsh]

I just discovered twarc-cloud, and I'm very excited about it! Thanks for this awesome tool.

As I've been playing around with it, however, I've run into a few problems. After configuring everything, I was able to successfully collect and download tweets from specific user timelines with the user_timeline collection template and twarc_cloud.py collection schedule /twarc_cloud.py collection download.

However, when I try to collect tweets with the filter and search collection templates, I'm encountering some issues. When I download the tweets, I get a bunch of tweet zip files, but they're all empty.

And when I look at my cluster on AWS, it seems like something's going wrong...

Just wondering if you know what might be happening here, or why twarc-cloud's user timeline functions might be working but not search and filter.

Hey @melaniewalsh. I'm not actively working on twarc-cloud now. You might want to check out https://gwu-libraries.github.io/sfm-ui/ as an alternative.

Hi @justinlittman I am using twarc to generate tweets from specific hashtags but I can not get more than 30 tweets from each hashtag. could you please help?

I am using the following command: twarc search "lang:ar AND (#first_hashtag OR #socend_hashtag)" --format csv --split 100000 --output tweets_2020.csv

and I am following these steps: https://github.com/DocNow/twarc
