Get Number of Views

Post by aritwitter »

Hi,

Is there a way to get the number of views of a tweet? Perhaps through the scraper tab?

Check the SCRAPER TAB > output type: DETAILS

It might include it.

There is a 'view_count' column but it is empty. Is there a way to fix this?

Also why am I getting different results when I tick 'url' vs when I tick 'details' for Scrape Tweets.

I am doing 'Tweet Search' and I am inputting the keyword I'd want the tweets to contain.

The result I am getting when 'url' is ticked is what I'd like to get. It contains all tweets mentioning the @username I am looking for. The result gives me the urls of the tweets, but I want to get the stats of each tweet specifically the number of views. However, ticking 'details' gives me a different output. How do I fix it?

Or can you give me an alternative search process?

Always? Or sometimes?

What search?

If it's a recent search, maybe their are newer tweets

Different? In what way? The results should be the same, just the output details are different.

Always. They're always empty in the case of Scrape tweets.

Also I noticed that the 'details' scrape would get only those tweets with media. I opened them one by one and they all contained media. Seems like those tweets without media are not being included in the output for Scrape tweets when 'details' is ticked

What I did is just

Scraper Tab > Scrape Tweets > Tweet Search (recent)

Then I just put the keyword which in this case is the username of our account.

thanks for your findings, I will test, sounds like something is causing an error on the details scrape due to a twitter change and causing the results to not be stored.

I'll check the tweet count as well IIRC twitter used to handle the view counter in a weird way, probably they've updated it and the program needs an update to scrape it again
