NOTE: As of March 2023, the free version of the Twitter API no longer allows read requests. This means the instructions below to create a developer account, access Twitter, and download tweets no longer works as written. If you have a paid "Basic" tier or higher then these instructions may work for you, but we have not verified this.

A lot of introductory tutorials to quanteda assume that the reader has some base of knowledge about the program's functionality or how it might be used. Other tutorials assume that the user is an expert in R and on what goes on under the hood when you're coding. This introductory guide will assume none of that. Instead, I'm presuming a very basic understanding of R (like how to assign variables) and that you've just heard of quanteda for the first time today.
