This example shows a minimal Twitter bot framework that continuously scans for tweets containing variations of “Hello world” and prints each matching tweet alongside a randomly selected comment phrase. It uses the Tweepy library to authenticate with Twitter’s API via OAuth and iterates through search results with `tweepy.Cursor`. For each found tweet, the code prints the author’s screen name and text, then constructs a status message embedding the tweet’s URL; retweeting and posting are commented out, while a five-second sleep prevents rate limiting. The data source is live Twitter search results, and the rendering is plain text output to the console.

Simple streaming twitter bot with phrase matching

This example demonstrates a live Twitter stream filter that detects tweets containing “hello world” phrase variants and prints the matching tweet and a randomized commentary message. It uses Tweepy’s StreamListener to monitor the public stream for keywords “hello” and “world,” ignoring retweets. On a match, it constructs a reply message with the tweet’s URL and prints it, while the retweet and status-update actions remain commented out. The code relies on Tweepy’s OAuth authentication and the Twitter streaming API, with credentials loaded from a separate creds module.

Twitter autoresponder bot

This example shows a PHP Twitter autoresponder bot that monitors the Twitter Search API for specific keywords and automatically replies to matching tweets. The code uses the PECL OAuth extension to authenticate with Twitter API 1.1, performing searches for configured terms like "over 9000" and posting responses via the statuses/update endpoint. It tracks the last replied-to tweet ID in a local file to avoid duplicates, verifies account credentials, and includes command-line OAuth authorization for initial setup.

This example shows a script that searches Twitter for tweets containing the query "TenagaNasionalBerhad" and prints each tweet’s text to the console. It uses the Tweepy library to authenticate with Twitter’s API via OAuth credentials and to perform the search. The code defines a `limit_handled` generator that catches `tweepy.error.TweepError` exceptions and pauses for 15 minutes before continuing, though the current script only iterates over a single page of search results without invoking that handler. The data source is Twitter’s live search endpoint.

This example demonstrates a workflow for collecting and structuring Twitter data through the streaming API. It uses the `tweepy` library to authenticate and open a live stream, filtering tweets by specified terms or hashtags, and saving each raw tweet as a JSON line to a file. The code then reads that file back, parses each tweet, and extracts selected fields into a nested list, including the text, user handle, favorite and retweet counts, timestamp, follower count, and language. Finally, it organizes the data into a structured pandas DataFrame with corresponding column names, preparing it for further analysis or visualization.

A script to download all of a user's tweets into a csv

This script downloads a user’s entire tweet history into a CSV file, preserving each tweet’s ID, creation timestamp, and text. It demonstrates the Twitter API’s pagination limits by repeatedly fetching batches of 200 tweets via Tweepy’s `user_timeline` method, using the `max_id` parameter to retrieve older tweets until none remain. The final output is written with Python’s built-in `csv` module, encoding text as UTF-8. The example relies on Tweepy for API authentication and data retrieval, and shows a practical pattern for handling rate-limited, cursor-based API responses.

Gist 8044140b08e7e7887e0c7531911d1fa4

This example streams live tweets matching hashtags like #DoctorWho and #DrWho, saving each tweet’s metadata to a CSV file using the Twitter API and the `twitter` Python package. It demonstrates real-time data collection, extracting fields such as user location, follower count, and coordinates. The code handles truncated tweets by fetching extended text, and it cleans nested dictionary values with helper functions. No visualization is rendered; the focus is purely on acquiring and structuring streaming social media data for later analysis.

Minimal node.js server to pass Twitter API responses through JSON parse and stringify

This example demonstrates a minimal Node.js HTTP server that acts as a proxy for Twitter API requests, forcing JSON responses to pass through `JSON.parse` and `JSON.stringify`. It shows how to round-trip JSON data to validate or reformat it before sending it to the client. The server uses the built-in `http`, `https`, and `url` modules to listen on port 1337, filter URLs ending in `.json`, and forward those requests to `api.twitter.com`. The response is accumulated in a `Buffer`, parsed, and re-stringified before delivery, with error handling included.

Requires

This example demonstrates scraping public Twitter profiles with Puppeteer, a headless Chrome automation library, to extract tweet content, timestamps, embedded image URLs, and adaptive media containers. It also shows scraping a live webpage via the Wayback Machine to capture a full-page screenshot at 1920x1080 resolution. The script uses Puppeteer’s `page.evaluate` to run DOM queries, Bluebird’s `Promise.delay` for controlled waiting, and `fs-extra` to write the collected tweet data as JSON. It navigates pages, clicks "show more" links, and scrolls to trigger dynamic content loading before saving results.
