twsearch

A Clojure script to dump twitter searches into graphs - works well for active hashtags.

Usage

  lein run <term> <number of searches> outfile.gexf

If you don't want leiningen, grab the jarfile and run with

java -jar twsearch.jar <term> <number of searches> outfile.gexf

term is the term you search for (e.g. the hashtag).

number of searches is the number of times you want to do the search (each search has a delay of 20seconds, so this roughly defines how long you search and how many tweets you'll get). 0 searches forever.

The 20 second delay is to avoid hitting twitter rate limits (yes this is crude but works). The outfile is updated every 20 seconds or so with the new results.
