============
getTweets.sh is a quick and simple Bash script, for fetching tweets from a specific user. This script uses twitter guest token, so there is absolute no need to either register official twitter API access or to login twitter account. The output is a json file for the further analysis. Yep, quick & simple.
## Dependency

## How to use
```
Usage:
./getTweets.sh -u [-m ] [-d]
Options:
-u Mandatory, set twitter handle
-d Optional, direct output without saving to json file
-m Optional, max tweets number to download
