Hi all, I'm trying to extract earthquake tweets from Twitter with specific long/lat coordinates thand en store into csv file.. | |
However, the result returns tweets NOT specific to locaiton parameters, does anyone know why? Here is my code: | |
csvFile = open('seattle.csv', 'a') | |
csvWriter = csv.writer(csvFile) | |
for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search,q="#earthquake",count=100, | |
location= "47.6126,-122.6222, 50mi", | |
lang="en", | |
since="2017-04-03").items(): | |
if tweet.geo != None: | |
## tweetlist.append(tweet.geo) | |
print (tweet.created_at, tweet.text) | |
tweettime = str(tweet.created_at) | |
text = str(tweet.text.encode('utf-8')) | |
x = str(tweet.geo['coordinates'][1]) | |
y = str(tweet.geo['coordinates'][0]) | |
print text | |
imgurl = "" | |
if "http" in text: | |
splitlist = text.split("http") | |
if len(splitlist) == 2: | |
if "http" in text: | |
urlhashtagsplit = splitlist[1].split(" ") | |
imgurl = "http" + urlhashtagsplit[0] | |
else: | |
imgurl = "http" + splitlist[1] | |
csvWriter.writerow([x,y,imgurl,text,tweettime]) | |
