How I can get location(from user profile) and geo location of tweet?Interested specifically on South Africa users.I have tried using lookupcoords( ) function but I still get below error:Error in search_tweets("lang:es", geocode = Southafrica_coord, n = 20) : object 'Southafrica_coord' not found

lookup_coords is not always succesful. I had the same issue - see my issue here with @mkearney's response: https://github.com/mkearney/rtweet/issues/237
and another thread here: https://github.com/mkearney/rtweet/issues/261

But here is a workaround that passes a request through to twitter's API:

Assuming that you want to search, try adding the following search string:

rtweet::search_tweets(q= search_term, n=200, 
                            geocode = "-30.55948,22.9375,1000mi",
                             token = token)

That will deliver tweets that are geocoded to a radius of 1000 miles from the approximate midpoint of South Africa, as well as tweets from any profile that indicates any recognisable location in that radius.

I hope that's helpful.

Can you please provide a minimal reprex (reproducible example)? The goal of a reprex is to make it as easy as possible for me to recreate your problem so that I can fix it: please help me help you!

If you've never heard of a reprex before, start by reading "What is a reprex", and follow the advice further down the page. Please make sure your reprex is created with the reprex package as it gives nicely formatted output and avoids a number of common pitfalls.

Reading this thread more carefully, it looks like @Arf9999 provided a solution, so I'm going to close for now.
