Retrieve viral tweets topic from Twitter API
Question:
I’m trying to retrieve viral tweets for an academic project using the Twitter API v2. There is a Topic on Twitter called "viral tweets" which is perfect for what I want.
It has id 1284234742661963776 so my thoughts was to query using context annotations. However there is no entity related to viral tweets on the API. I’ve tried to input this entity id using context id 131 which corresponds to the Twitter Unified Taxonomy, but got nothing. Did someone manage to retrieve them? Are not all topics on Twitter available on the API?
Here is an example of the code I used
Answers:
Not all topics available on Twitter are part of the context annotations provided via the Twitter API. You can read more about this and see an example in this answer.
