v0.3

This version might be dead-in-the-water, as Twitter is likely closing the Academic Research product track for their API. However, these scripts might be useful for some paid-tier customers, for posterity, and in the unlikely case that Academic Research can resume.

Added features are two new scripts. One for collecting geotagged tweets using a bounding box GeoPackage file, and the other for collecting tweets by specific users.

Release of v0.2

This version introduces two collections styles iterative and bulk, fixes some bugs when it comes to downloading small datasets not containing any geotags, and separates functions from the main script file to an auxiliary file to improve readability. A big thanks to Sara Zaman for diligent testing and issue reporting.

Version 0.1

It's the first release, hooray!

This tool enables researchers to download Tweets with their Academic Research access Twitter credentials. The tool collects tweets iteratively day-by-day or in bulk and outputs pickled dataframes, csv files, or geopackages. Development of the tool took place in the Digital Geography Lab at the University of Helsinki. This tool is based on the work of Seija Sirkiä, who developed a similar tool to use with Twitter's Premium API, we're super thankful for her contribution.

Things of note

The code is messy. It might be cleaned up in possible upcoming releases, but no promises on either.
Further development of this tool may be sporadic.
