How to scrape like/retweet users??

Post by hakunamatata187 »

Hi,

I'm having problems extracting Users from a specific tweet, I want to get a list of everyone that liked and retweet that specific post.

So far I post the exact link to the tweet and the specify retweet/likers but it never brings up the users that like or retweet the post.

Can somebody elaborate the steps I need to take as it seems I'm messing up which functions to use

That sounds correct, what happens? Some users or none? You cannot get them all, if you check on the website twitter doesn't allow you to view all, but hte program will (should) scrape everything that twitter does show.

From your image, firstly the URL is not valid, but I think you know that

Also I think you have misunderstood how custom search works.

The program will ONLY return the last step,

so the search as specified gets the profiles who retweeted the tweet (1),
then gets the tweets liked by those users returned in (1)
then gets the likers of the tweets returned in (2)


If you want the likers / retweeters of your input tweet, select TWEET INTERACTIONS as your *only* step

No worries. This all reminds me I still need to buy a proper microphone and redo the TD tutorials...

One day :)
