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?

What happens when you try to search for `example.com` ? That should return all the Tweets which have that URL in them. – Terence Eden Sep 15 '17 at 23:15

@TerenceEden Thanks for the reply, but I'm not trying to search for a specific link. Literally just trying to find all tweets containing URL's in them. – Taras Tataryn Sep 16 '17 at 00:30

1Then do a search for "t.co" - that will get you what you want. – Terence Eden Sep 16 '17 at 07:38

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!
