twitter-political

This was built during the 2016 MidWest Big-Data Hackathon at the University of Iowa

Interface

The project is no longer hosted anywhere, but when it was, it was a sight to be seen... Entering the handle for any given Twitter user would download all of their Tweets and determine the user's sentiment towards Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. You can see below how Donald Trump felt about himself. LandingPage

Location Data

We were also able to pull location data from geo-enabled Tweets. Here's where the Tweets were coming from during the third presidential debate of 2016. Debate

Usage

Within the HackathonFLASK folder execute python HackathonFLASK.py to run the server in development mode.

Dont forget to include your own twitter API keys in the HackathonFLASK/user_crawler/get_user_tweets.py file
