How To Use

The main purpose of this library is obtaining data from the Twitter API 1.1 based on a list of tweet IDs.

The TSess class manages communication and caching and is used as a parameter for the TweetAnalyzer, TweetInteractiveClassifier and JsonLInteractiveClassifier.

• TweetAnalyzer class manages most of the automatic data extraction from the data dictionary.
• TweetInteractiveClassifier is based on the TweetAnalyzer but includes functionality directed to interacting with the tweet in an IPython environment.
• JsonLInteractiveClassifier is an interactive GUI and database manager that allows capturing additional metadata from user interaction...

To seet an example of how to use the library, please visit the Cases Module or try it at [Not yet published].

Future

Current approach is project specific but we are working on a proposal to design custom interfaces based on YAML/JSON templates.

TODO:

• Include mention of twitter policies.
• Continue project description.
• Include example of usage.
• Suggest using the Case Module.
• Mention and show IPython interactive appraisal.
