Getting tweets with current hashtag from Twitter using Python?

Question

Is there any better way to get tweets from twitter then crawling twitter.com and mutating URLs?

If there is, how can I get latest tweets with current hash-tag?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Did you try Twitter REST API? Particulary, you can use search tweets endpoint. There are some limitations though, enforced by Twitter.

You can use one of many available python libraries.

For example, some sample code for tweepy can be found here.
