Python Twitter Class

Originally a workshop at SF Python Meetup on September 16, 2015, this repo contains code and instructions to learn about how to use Python and Twitter.

To get started:

  • Go to https://apps.twitter.com/ and register a new app to get an API key.
  • Insert the API key in the specified places in the code. (You can use either the Jupyter notebook or the plain python file, whichever is easier)

Recommended Order

It is recommended to go through the examples in this order:

  • Posting a Tweet with Python: This is a very simple application to verify that the API keys work and that you can post a tweet.
  • Download My Tweets: You can use this to download a subset of your (or someone else's) tweets to analyze.
  • Make a Word Cloud: You can use this to make a word cloud of tweets downloaded from the previous example.
