Assuming you've already set up your own Twetter project and application, you'll need to provide Twitter Bearer Token in appsettings.json before you can run the worker service.

"TweetSamplerConfiguration": { "TwitterBearToken": "REPLACE THIS" }

Run the worker service for at least a few minutes. You'll see Data\TrendingHashTags.json periodically updated with the lastest top hashtags.

2. Run TweetSampler.API locally from Visual Studio (eventually on Cloud).

3. Check results via Postman with URL below
