WP3-data-collection-twitter

The script monitors a set of Twitter accounts and collects the latest posts. The posts are consolidated in a CSV file and stored within AWS S3 storage. Currently, for the CS-AWARE project, we started monitoring only the accounts listed in users.json. Please note that this solution requires Twitter API credentials (credential.json). Finally, the code is written for Python3, anyhow it could be easily adapted for Python2.

How to install dependencies and run the script

aws configure
git clone https://github.com/cs-aware/WP3-data-collection-twitter.git
sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt 
python3 main.py
