TwitterPeruser

Peruse Twitter, maybe discover something!

Instructions

Twitter Peruser relies on a couple of external libraries and databases:

• TwitterAPI
• Redis

To install:

1. Install TwitterAPI:

   pip install TwitterAPI

2. Install Redis:

   wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz cd redis-stable make

3. Start the Redis server:

   redis-server

4. In a new terminal tab, test Redis (should expect a PONG response):

   redis-cli ping

5. Install wordcloud:

   pip install wordcloud

6. Copy keys.template and call it keys.py. Replace bracketed values in that file with your secret Twitter keys

7. Run example which uses the module:

   python peruseDriver.py [query in quotes] [number of tweets to be used]
