Searching for URL's in tweets via Python Tweepy

Question

Haven't been able to find much on this. Is there a way to use tweepy (or if you can think of a better way that still utilizes tweepy but with something else) to search for tweets that have a url in them? I don't believe the API.search function allows you to pass html attributes (for instance an a would be perfect) or by type. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Maybe you can do something like this Regex to find urls in string in Python

---

You can still use api.search() and match them with a Regex that finds URLs

NOTE: I haven't tested it & i don't have used Tweepy for a while now, so there is a chance this might not work!
