Exercise

Search and extract timelines

Similar to search_tweets(), get_timeline() is another function in the rtweet library that can be used to extract tweets.

The get_timeline() function is different from search_tweets(). It extracts tweets posted by a given user to their timeline instead of searching based on a query.

The get_timeline() function can extract up to 3200 tweets at a time.

In this exercise, you will extract tweets posted by Cristiano Ronaldo, a very popular soccer player both on the field and on social media who has the @Cristiano twitter handle.

The library rtweet has been pre-loaded for this exercise.
