exporter_help_text.txt

To use this script you can pass the following attributes:
    username: Username of a specific twitter account (without @)
       since: The lower bound date (yyyy-mm-aa)
       until: The upper bound date (yyyy-mm-aa)
 querysearch: A query text to be matched
        near: A reference location area from where tweets were generated
      within: A distance radius from "near" location (e.g. 15mi)
   maxtweets: The maximum number of tweets to retrieve
   toptweets: Only the tweets provided as top tweets by Twitter (no parameters required)
      output: A filename to export the results (default is "output_got.csv")

The querysearch attribute can be used with logic operators (AND, OR); If they are used, the since/ until attributes are not working. A patch fixing this issue is on its way

Examples:
# Example 1 - Get tweets by username [barackobama]
python Exporter.py --username "barackobama" --maxtweets 1

# Example 2 - Get tweets by query search [europe refugees]
python Exporter.py --querysearch "europe refugees" --maxtweets 1

# Example 3 - Get tweets by username and bound dates [barackobama, '2015-09-10', '2015-09-12']
python Exporter.py --username "barackobama" --since 2015-09-10 --until 2015-09-12 --maxtweets 1

# Example 4 - Get the last 10 top tweets by username
python Exporter.py --username "barackobama" --maxtweets 10 --toptweets
