twitter-data

Collects tweets from the streaming API.

The repository includes a dataset of 1.4 Million tweets partitioned by sentiment using this functionality.

Usage

$ python3 run.py --config example_config.json

Most functionality is defined within the config file. See the example config for details on the options. Basically you can either use the sample endpoint or the filter endpoint with filters on the content of the tweets you pull.

If you want the data in its own file, just pipe the output into a file eg.

$ python3 run.py --config example_config.json > output_data.json
