Extended Text - New Twitter UpdateΒ #1

Siraj - Love this video! I have never commited, pulled or done any changes to another person's repository so I thought I would leave it here.

When you perform a search using api.search in tweepy, if you run it the way you have specified it will recover the old character limit (140 characters, ends with "..."). I read through the Twitter Dev API documentation and its a pretty easy fix to get the full 280 characters.

Please note, that the behavior of RT/"Retweets" still only returns 140 characters, but still is searching correctly.

Keep up the videos!

Zac

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

tweets = api.search('Artificial Intelligence', count=200, tweet_mode = 'extended')

data = pd.DataFrame(data=[tweet.text full_text for tweet in tweets], columns=['Tweets'])
display(data.head(10))
print(tweets[0].created_at)
