R: Capture an image of a tweet/thread

tweet_shot {rtweet} | R Documentation

## Capture an image of a tweet/thread

### Description

Provide a status id or a full Twitter link to a tweet and this function will capture an image of the tweet — or tweet + thread (if there are Twitter-linked replies) — from the mobile version of said tweet/thread.

### Usage

    tweet_shot(statusid_or_url, zoom = 3, scale = TRUE)

### Arguments

`statusid_or_url` | a valid Twitter status id (e.g. "`947082036019388416`") or a valid Twitter status URL (e.g. "`https://twitter.com/jhollist/status/947082036019388416`").
`zoom` | a positive number >= 1. See the help for `[webshot::webshot()]` for more information.
`scale` | auto-scale the image back to 1:1? Default it `TRUE`, which means `magick` will be used to return a "normal" sized tweet. Set it to `FALSE` to perform your own image manipulation.

### Details

For this to work, you will need to ensure the packages in `Suggests:` are installed as they will be loaded upon the first invocation of this function.

Use the `zoom` factor to get more pixels which may improve the text rendering of the tweet/thread.

### Value

`magick` object
