MATLAB: Collecting tweet from twitter using Matlab

tweettwittertwitty

Hello! I'm looking for the way to collect tweet from twitter using Matlab as the follows.

– Given the query (i.e. iPad) – Given a period of time (i.e. Jan 2012 – Mar 2012)

Then the program will retrieve tweets contain the term 'iPad' within such period of time and stored in the text file.

Would you please suggest?

Thank you very much.

You can use the Twitter REST API to perform such queries. There is a MATLAB File Exchange submission called twitty which uses that functionality - you can use it like any MATLAB class.

MATLAB: Get Timestamp from Tweet

The "created_at" field can display the time-stamp of the tweet, but there is no direct option available to get the timestamp with twitty. For the summary of the twitty's available methods, run the 'twitty.API' command. Try parsing the twitter Structure returned from twitter to find out if that structure has the field "created_at"

According to this example, the base url to post tweet is

baseurl = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json';

not the one you're using.

I don't have the datafeed toolbox (nor a twitter account) to test.
