VisualizingTwitchCommunities

This project maps communities of streamers on Twitch.tv based on shared viewership. The data is collected from the Twitch API and visualized in Gephi.

I wrote an article on TowardsDataScience here

If your curious about how to read this graph and why I made it, check out the article.

How can I mess with the graph?

I made the graph in a free data visualization tool called Gephi. Download it here The data set is in Visulization/GephiData . In gephi go to laboratory and import the edge file as an edgelist. Then import the label file as a node list. From there you can go to overview and run a modularity analysis on the nodes to detect communities.

How can I collect more data?

The DataCollection folder has a script called main that can be ran to collect the top 100 streams and all their viewers and save it to a csv. You can use the windows task scheduler to run this task at any time interval you like and build up data over long periods of time.
