Twitter LinqToTweet API Limitations
- It only allows 200 requests per 15 minutes per user.
- It fetches 200 record per request.
Step 1)
The First most step to use twitter API is to register your app to twitter Search Console. For this purpose Login to Twitter and Go to the link https://dev.twitter.com/
Click “My apps” on upper right corner. Then click on create new app. The below page shown.
Fill all the required fields. And then click on the “create your twitter application” button.
Following page is shown.
Here you go to link “manage keys and access token”.
From this page we require these four Keys to get twitter data using Csharp C#.
- Consumer key
- Consumer secret key
- Access token
- Access token secret
To get Access Token and Access Tokensecret click on “generate access token” button. Now the Access token and Access token secret is visible.
Step 2)
Open Visual stutio 2013 and create a new C# console application to get twitter data using Csharp. Then install LinqToTwitter library from nugget.
//config file
Here is Main Method
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//input file for input screen name. give as many as you want.and output for fetched records
//please put scrren names of user whom you want to get data in input file
string inputpath = "C:\\Users\\Shehzad Amjad\\Desktop\\tweetfolder\\input.txt";
string outputpath = "C:\\Users\\Shehzad Amjad\\Desktop\\tweetfolder\\output.txt";
//check if output file already exists then delete it
if (File.Exists(outputpath))
{
File.Delete(outputpath);
File.Create(outputpath).Dispose();
}
else
{
File.Create(outputpath).Dispose();
}
var file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(outputpath);
//read screen names from input file and fetch record one by one user
//and write record on output files after some cleansing
//it will remove or replace \n and \t with sapce and put \t on all attribute right site
//to make the output sensible and readable
var ReadAllLines = File.ReadAllLines(inputpath);
foreach(var line in ReadAllLines)
{
Console.WriteLine("working on "+line+", Fetching Tweets...");
var tweetList = GetTwitterFeeds(line);
Console.WriteLine("Fetch Tweets Count " + tweetList.Count);

string verified = item.User.Verified.ToString().Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\t", "") + "\t";
string hashtag = "";
foreach (var tags in item.Entities.HashTagEntities)
{

file.WriteLine(tweet_record);
}
Console.WriteLine("Done "+line+". written in file");
}
file.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Done! .check Your Drive File");
Console.ReadLine();
}
Here is GetTwitterfeed Method
//fuction to get twitter feed by screen name

bool flag = true;
var statusResponse = new List
