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.
