twscrapeR NEWS

twscrapeR 0.1.3

Compatibility release for twscrape 0.18.0 after X/Twitter SearchTimeline changes.

Added

• Added product to search_tweets() so callers can choose "Latest" or "Top" results.
• Added dry tests for search_tweets() product validation, generated Python search calls, and query escaping.

Changed

• Updated README setup guidance for Python >= 3.10 and twscrape >= 0.18.0.
• Documented cookie setup via either TWS_COOKIES or TWS_AUTH_TOKEN + TWS_CT0.

Fixed

• Removed the local X Client Transaction ID monkeypatch now that the upstream fix ships in twscrape 0.18.0.
• Restored live search compatibility when the Python environment is upgraded from twscrape 0.17.0 to 0.18.0.

twscrapeR 0.1.2

Quality and maintenance release after validating v0.1.1 live scraping.

Added

• Added dry testthat coverage for environment credential helpers, Python string escaping, tweet ID extraction, and batch retweeters conversion.
• Added GitHub Actions CI to run dry R tests on push and pull request without requiring secrets or live X/Twitter access.
• Added NEWS.md and docs/RELEASE.md so release history and the .9000 development workflow are explicit.

Fixed

• Startup messages now show the installed package version instead of a hardcoded version.
• Python string escaping no longer over-escapes newline and carriage-return characters.

Maintenance

• Kept the XClientTransaction monkeypatch tracker open because upstream twscrape fixes are still unreleased.

twscrapeR 0.1.1

Maintenance release focused on making live scraping work reliably after changes in X/Twitter’s web bundles.

Fixed

• Replaced the hardcoded startup version with the installed package version.
• Corrected Python string escaping for newline and carriage-return characters.

Added

• Added add_account_from_env() to load credentials from .Renviron or environment variables using TWS_* names.
• Added support for separate TWS_AUTH_TOKEN and TWS_CT0 variables, with automatic cookie-string construction.
• Added get_retweeters_batch() for retrieving retweeters across multiple tweets while preserving source_tweet_id.
• Added dry testthat coverage for credential helpers, tweet ID extraction, retweeters batch conversion, and string escaping.
• Added GitHub Actions CI for dry R tests.

Documentation

• Documented rate limiting, multiple accounts, the No account available for queue message, and the IndexError: list index out of range upstream twscrape failure mode.
