Scrape Twitter friends and followers with R

First, download and install R Studio

Add the Rtweet Library to R Studio

Activate the library: library(rtweet)

Grab friends (people you follow) and then followers with the following commands (put your Twitter name where it says account name:

friends <- get_friends("account")

friends_data <- lookup_users(friends$to_id)

friends_clean <-data.frame(lapply(friends_data, as.character), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

write_as_csv(friends_clean,"account_friends.csv")

followers<-get_followers("account",n=inf,retryonratelimit = TRUE)

followers_data<-lookup_users(followers$from_id)

followers_clean <-data.frame(lapply(followers_data, as.character), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

write_as_csv(followers_clean,"account_followers.csv")

The two csv files should be in your Documents folder. You can upload them to Google sheets or Excel, etc.

Good luck! Not sure what to do with them next but at least you have them. I think you could search through for email addresses, mastodon links, etc...

Humanity … installs each of its violences in a system of rules and thus proceeds from domination to domination.

Foucault, Language, Counter-Memory, Practice: Selected Essays and Interviews, 1977, p. 151, quoted in McLuskie, 2011

When experts are wrong, it’s often because they’re experts on an earlier version of the world.

We watch acts of peace get chopped into pieces by axes and we act as if the world spins on an axis of silence, our peaceful protest turn to violence. They censor our peace, put sensors by our feet they prepare for war, they wanna rip us apart take part in our destruction spilled blood becomes an art, their canvas will be the STL arch. Police cars parked inside of parks waiting for the child to become too old to slide and decide to reside at the age of 18 then he becomes victim of the Utopian lies then we cry way before the tear gas.

A poem by 18-year-old Unique Hughley inspired by an August 16 demonstration in Ferguson.

Center for Investigative Reporting:

Hughley’s line “they prepare for war” particularly resonates with findings from The Center for Investigative Reporting’s examination of how local police forces have become more militarized. In 2011, CIR revealed how $34 billion in federal grants from the Department of Homeland Security helped law enforcement agencies purchase an array of war-ready gear. And as CIR highlighted in 2012, local police also have procured heaps of free military surplus through a Defense Department program. Facial recognition and high-tech surveillance are on the rise, too.

Hughley’s poem and CIR’s accompanying article are the product of a collaboration between CIR and Youth Speaks called The Off/Page Project which:

combines the analytical lens of The Center for Investigative Reporting with the groundbreaking storytelling of the literary nonprofit Youth Speaks. Living at the intersection of youth voice and civic engagement, the Off/Page Project provides a multimedia platform for young people to investigate the issues and stories that would otherwise be silenced.

FJP: As we await news on the Grand Jury’s decision over the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson (and will inevitably see action, reaction and stories pour out in the hours to come), it’s important to remember that big moments in history must be investigated thoroughly—both in how they occur and how they are felt—and who we ask to tell these stories matters. Sometimes an unlikely pair does it best.

From Hanno Hardt, Critical Comm Studies, p. 107 / Lazarsfeld on Adorno

[paleomedia-blog]

After capital had taken centuries in extending the working-day to its normal maximum limit, and then beyond this to the limit of the natural day of 12 hours, there followed on the birth of machinism and modern industry in the last third of the 18th century, a violent encroachment like that of an avalanche in its intensity and extent. All bounds of morals and nature, age and sex, day and night, were broken down. Even the ideas of day and night, of rustic simplicity in the old statutes, became so confused that an English judge, as late as 1860, needed a quite Talmudic sagacity to explain “judicially” what was day and what was night. Capital celebrated its orgies.
