Tweets can be downloaded using either Snscrape (default) or Tweepy.positional arguments:{analyze,configure,download}Action to perform.DEST                  Output file location. Analysis/configuration/download output file is stored here. Default is current directory.optional arguments:-h, --help            show this help message and exit-c CONFIG, --config CONFIGConfig file location. If action is 'analyze' or 'download', configuration file is read from here.-a ANALYZER, --analyzer ANALYZERAnalyzer method for sentiment analysis. Available options are {'vader','textblob-pa','textblob-nb'}. Default is 'vader'.-q QUERY, --query QUERYA query text to be matched-s SINCE, --since SINCEA lower bound date (UTC) to restrict search. Default is 7 days before --until. Used only by Snscrape.-u UNTIL, --until UNTILAn upper bound date (not included) to restrict search. Default is today. Tweepy has a 7 day hard limit, while Snscrape has no such limit.-g GEO, --geo GEO     Return only tweets by users from given geolocation. It must be a location name (e.g. 'Milan') if using Snscrape or a string of the form 'latitude,longitude' if using Tweepy.-r RADIUS, --radius RADIUSMust be used together with --geo. Return only tweets by users within a given radius from the selected location. It must be either in 'mi' or 'km' (e.g. '15km')-l LANG, --lang LANG  Restrict language of the tweets retrieved. Must be an ISO 639-1 code (e.g. en, it, etc.). Default is no language restriction.

Can be either 'recent', 'popular' or 'mixed'. Default is 'mixed'. Used only by Tweepy.--max_tweets MAX_TWEETSThe maximum number of tweets to be retrieved. Default is 10. In the case of Tweepy, if greater API rate limit is reached, the program waits for 15 minutes before trying again.--tweepy              Use Tweepy instead of the default Snscrape to download tweets.--credentials CREDENTIALSPath to JSON file containing Tweepy credentials. See examples/credentials.json to see how the file should be formatted.--quiet               No stdout output when downloading or analyzing tweets.
