How to get many user Twitter datas in a short time?

YYTheFenix

Hello , I'm Beginner in Rapid miner studio

I can only select  tool box and match them each other to find the results.

Now, i want to extract twitter user datas, but i can extract it only one by one

such as i can get user twitter details one by one. but i want to get user twitter details of 250 users in one time

but input of tool box(parameter) can only insert 1 id or 1 name. 

1.) How can i insert id or name more than one in one time? (want to find 250 users detail in one table)

2.) from 1.) Can i insert some condition more such as the users in 1.) must have friends <200 users

 

Thank you

Hi @YYTheFenix,

 

There is no built in functionality to get the data for all users in one request.

This has to be achieved by searching for every User detail separately e.g. using the Operator Loop Values.

Here you are looping over every username and search for the user details using Macros (more on Macros can be found here).

 

The attached example Process also checks for the number of friends of a Twitter user using the Operator Get Twitter Relations. Here you can set the parameter relation to friends. The following Branch Operator uses the condition type min_examples to only search for the User details if the user has at least 199 friends.

 

Important notes:

1. Be aware that there is a limit on the number of free Twitter calls
2. Usually I recommend to utilize the User ID for searching but currently there is a bug when using this parameter so the Twitter user name is used. This is the one with @ and may differ from the display name which you get from the Operator Search Twitter.

Best regards,

Edin
