To collect all tweets from a particular Twitter user (in this case, Mr. X), you can use the Twitter API. Here's a high-level overview of the process:
Create a Twitter Developer Account: If you don't have one already, you need to create a Twitter Developer Account and create a Twitter App. This will give you the necessary API keys and access tokens.
Use a Twitter API Library: You can use a library or tool like Tweepy (Python) to interact with the Twitter API. Install Tweepy or another Twitter API library of your choice.
Authenticate: Use your API keys and access tokens to authenticate your application with the Twitter API.
Search for User's Tweets: Use the API to search for tweets from the specific user (Mr. X). You can filter tweets by the user's screen name or user ID.
Iterate and Collect: Once you have retrieved tweets, you may need to iterate through the results as Twitter's API usually returns a limited number of tweets per request. Keep making requests until you've collected all the tweets you want.
Store Data: You can store the collected tweets in a database, a CSV file, or any other format of your choice.
Here's a simplified example using Tweepy in Python to get tweets from a specific user:
import tweepy
# Set up your Twitter API credentials
consumer_key = "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY"
consumer_secret = "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET"
access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
access_token_secret = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET"
# Authenticate with Twitter
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
# Collect tweets from a specific user
user_screen_name = "MrXTwitterHandle"
tweets = []
for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline, screen_name=user_screen_name).items():
tweets.append(tweet.text)
# Now 'tweets' contains all the tweets from Mr. X
Make sure you are aware of Twitter's API rate limits and usage policies when collecting tweets. Also, you'll need to handle pagination if there are a large number of tweets from the user.
