I tried using the python script for converting the JSON file to csv format file, but somehow its not working. I don’t know why it prints the data on the terminal and creates a .csv extension file but does not write anything to it. Can someone guide please?

I thought that was a twitteR function? Have you got the latest version f the package installed? (Thanks for posting the workaround, btw :-)

The following line caused an error for me:

tw.df=twListToDF(rdmTweets)

The error was: Error: could not find function “twListToDF”

I changed the command to the following which resolved the issue:

tw.df=do.call(‘rbind’,lapply(rdmTweets, as.data.frame))

I’m only new to R and lost as to why I encountered this error. The twitteR package had been installed and loaded.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to learning more and putting this script to use.

Thank you.

Johann

I had over 500 bot registrations on my buddypress site. I allow links to affiliate sites and blogs even rss automation. But the bots only come and register then I delete them. They always say great post or something like that but use fake emails so they are contactable that’s worst about them

Another route to annotation is to annotate the page (in)directly, eg using something like the OKFN’s Annotator ( http://okfn.org/projects/annotator/ ; the OU also has an annotator service ( http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/oublog/view.php?user=60&tag=ouannotate ) ) but I’ve always been wary of those sorts of service and never really got on with them….
