Get number of tweets per min for particular channel
<p>I am using <a href="https://github.com/geduldig/TwitterAPI" rel="nofollow">pypi Twitter API</a></p>

<p>I need to call twitter API to get tweets of one channel after certain interval. I need tweet counts in that time period. </p>

<p>For ex. @NASA channel tweet counts of it every 5 mins. </p>

<p>I am looking at <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/search/tweets" rel="nofollow">search tweets </a>. Is this correct? But it does not give tweets count I think.</p>

<p>Use twitter's API.  I mean, right?</p>

<p><a href="https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/user_timeline" rel="nofollow">https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/user_timeline</a></p>

<p>That will get you the most 3200 recent tweets by a user. So unless those guys are literally more than like 10x /sec you should be good.</p>

<p>Hit the api every 5 minutes, including on page load.  Take the difference and there is your count.</p>
