Rtweet accounts of interest

Question

I need to get tweets for a research project using R and specifically the package rtweet. I have my premium Twitter API ready and I can get tweets as data frames but what I cannot do is use the accounts of interests functions.

    tweets <- search_fullarchive("x", fromDate = 202101010000, toDate = 
202102010000, n = 20, env_name = "env_name", from:y, has:mentions)

But I get the following error,

Error in search_fullarchive("merkel", fromDate = 202101010000, toDate = 202102010000,  : 
  object 'from' not found

Does anyone know a way around this?

you would need to put the `from:` and `has:` operators inside the query string. — Andy Piper, Dec 08 '21 at 16:38
What should I use to separate different queries, because it did not work with a comma or plus? — Beyzanur, Dec 09 '21 at 22:47
`”merkel from:y has:mentions”` - use a space which is treated as a logical AND — Andy Piper, Dec 10 '21 at 00:35
when I do that it does not come up with any observations I cant seem to understand the problem — Beyzanur, Dec 10 '21 at 10:24
That implies that there are no search results that meet those criteria. — Andy Piper, Dec 10 '21 at 13:21

To do query you need environment name:

rt <- search_fullarchive("#rstats", n = 300, env_name = "research",
  fromDate = "201401010000", toDate = "201401312359")

I do have my environment name written I just didn't include it for privacy, the code works when I do not include the "from" element to it – Beyzanur Dec 09 '21 at 22:41
