Twitter-Spam-Bot-Detector

Scenario:

You have access to platform's activity log (available at /home/candidate/candidate_files/py/inputs).

The structure of the activity log is described in /home/candidate/candidate_files/py/log-structure.txt

We consider am user to be a spammer if it satisfies all the following criteria:

• The user has no original tweets.
• The user has at least one retweet.
• All the retweets of this user occur within 1000 milliseconds of the original tweet.

Task:

Write the function identify_spammers that accepts the absolute path of the activity logfile, and returns a list of all the spammer usernames.

Additional requirements:

• In the corner case where the retweet occurs exactly 1000 milliseconds after the original tweet, it should also be considered as a spam retweet.
• The output list must not contain duplicates.
• The order of the output list does not matter.

Assumptions:

• The log_path supplied to the identify_spammers function is guaranteed to point to a file that exists, and can be read.
• All entries in the activity log are chronologically ordered.
