user_search function

Search users

Looks up users.

user_search(
  ids,
  expansions = NULL,
  fields = NULL,
  ...,
  token = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

• ids: A user id string or up to 100.

• expansions: Set NULL to not use any expansion, set NA to get all expansions, or provide a vector with the expansions you want (create it with set_expansions()).

• fields: Set NULL to not use any field, get all allowed fields with NA, provide a list with the fields you want (create it with set_fields()).

• ...: Other arguments passed to the API.

• token: These endpoints only accept a bearer token (can be created via rtweet_app()). In most cases you are better of changing the default for all calls via auth_as().

• parse: If TRUE, the default, returns a tidy data frame. Use FALSE

  to return the "raw" list corresponding to the JSON returned from the Twitter API.

• verbose: A logical value to provide more information about paginated queries.

Returns

A data.frame with the id, name and username of the accounts. Other information depends on the expansions and fields requested. Accepted values are:

• Expansions: set_expansions(tweet = NULL, list = NULL).
• Fields: set_fields(media = NULL, poll = NULL, place = NULL).

Examples

if (FALSE) {
  us <- user_search(c("1599030512919650304", "2244994945"), verbose = TRUE)
}
