# rstats-tweets

This repository collects twitter data and stores it to my own personal s3 bucket. More specifically, it... 

* Uses `rtweet` to search for tweets with _rstats_ in the text.

* Compares new tweets to tweets that I have already collected by filtering out status IDs that already exist.

* Saves the dataset to a personal s3 bucket.

* Does this daily using a cron job from `cronR`.

I have no real use case for this at the moment. I am more or less just interested in setting up a job to collect data. I think of it as a kind of template that I may come back to if there is any twitter data I'd like to routinely collect.

```{r, example, echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE}

library(dplyr)

library(aws.s3)

df <- s3readRDS(

  object = "rstats_tweets.rds",

  bucket = "tylerlittlefield"

)

df %>% 

  distinct(

    created_at,

    text

  )

```
