tinderdata

A very simple package to get insight on your Tinder usage.

Install

This code is compatible with all currently supported Python versions. Install it in your virtual enrivonment with:

python -m pip install tinderdata

Usage

This utility requires that you export your data from the Tinder platform, as described here. You should obtain a single tinderdata.json file, which is the input required for this script.

With this package installed in the activated enrivonment, it can be called through python -m tinderdata or through a newly created tinderdata command.

Detailed usage goes as follows:

 Usage: python -m tinderdata [OPTIONS] [DATA_PATH]

An example command is then:

python -m tinderdata path_to_tinderdata.json --save-figures --log-level debug

The script print out a number of insight statements, and finally the text you should paste to get a Sankey diagram. It will then create a plots folder and populate it with visuals.

You can otherwise import the high-level object from the package, and use at your convenience:

from tinderdata import TinderData

tinder = TinderData("path/to/tinderdata.json")
tinder.output_sankey_string()
tinder.plot_messages_loyalty(showfig=True, savefig=False)

Output example

Here are examples of the script's outputs:
