How to get all the tweets from the specific trend in twitter from tweepy

Question

I have a requirement to get all the tweets from the specific trend in twitter.

Ex: api.get_all_tweets(trend="ABCD")

How can I achieve this with tweepy?

Answer 1

There is no way to be guaranteed to capture all tweets. Twitter reserves the right to send you whatever they feel like. For something that is tweeted about infrequently like #upsidedownwalrus you'd probably get all of them, but for something that is a trending topic, you will only ever receive a sample.

Answer 2

The Twitter API has limits on what you can retrieve. If you require a census of posted Tweets, you'll need to pay for a service that provides such, but they are few and far between as they need to actively respect deletions.
