Tweepy / twitter gets all tweets from a location:

I have the following questions about tweepy python module

1. I'm trying to get all the tweets for a specific place. I can do this using the tweepy python module (streaming API), but I only get tweets whose geo-locations are on, which means that I will lose the rest of the tweeter tweets that did not include their geographical location. Is there a better way to get all the tweets given the location?

2. I use the Stream.Sample method to extract all tweets. Can someone tell me about the parameters used in the sample method? I see the counter and asynchronously as parameters. Now, what should we indicate here?

3. What does the firehose method in tweepy.Stream do?

Any help is much appreciated

If tweepy does not have the necessary function, you can always directly access Twitter with an HTTP request. The full Twitter REST API is described here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api

Those that seem interesting to you are:

  • GET trends/:woeidwho searches for woeid tweets , Yahoo ID for collecting information about a given place / landmark / etc.
  • GET geo/id/:place_idthat only launches geotagged tweets.
  • There is documentation on all the information available for the request GET, but the IP address is not included in the number of available fields: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search .
  • , Twitter FAQ , .
