[Air-L] ScraperWiki

[Raphael Velt]

Hello Roya,

Accessing Twitter feeds is now much harder than it used to be when the Search API required no authentication.
Anyway, there's a set of tools using the Streaming API that you may want to look at:

The Digital Methods Initiative at the University of Amsterdam has developed a tool called TCAT that you can download on your computer and install from their GitHub archive https://github.com/digitalmethodsinitiative/dmi-tcat/wiki 

Otherwise, it seems that the TwapperKeeper tools have now been integrated in HootSuite https://hootsuite.com/

If you know the basics of Ruby programming, you can also use TweetStream https://github.com/tweetstream/tweetstream which is quite powerful

Hi all -

I'm doing a research project at Bowdoin College and trying to use ScraperWiki to gather tweets. ScraperWiki makes it very easy to gather tweets from all users on Twitter, but I'm looking to limit the data set to specific users. Is there a simple way to do this? If not - is there another program that will collect the data in a more streamlined way?

Thanks,

Roya Moussapour
