This module is extends twarc with a hashtags command that will extract and
count the hashtags in a tweet dataset.
pip install twarc-hashtags
Collect some Twitter data, for example:
twarc2 search blacklivesmatter tweets.jsonl
Because you installed the plugin you have a new subcommand hashtags:
twarc2 hashtags tweets.jsonl hashtags.csv
Then open hashtags.csv in your favourite spreadsheet program or
DataFrame library.
Behind the scenes twarc-hashtags uses Python's native support for SQLite to
create a database and then insert/query it. You can see this database after the
program finishes as hashtags.db in your current working directory.
--group: group results by day, week, month, year
--limit: limit to this number of hashtags (per group if --group is used)
--db: if you would like to name the database something other than
hashtags.db
--no-insert: use an existing database instead of inserting (useful for large numbers of tweets)
