#Spray client, Akka and streaming tweets
Twitter streaming & simple sentiment analysis application. To build & run the plain-vanilla version of the application, run sbt run
. Then you can type in the track
command, which expects the Twitter search term to track. See https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/filter for track
filter.
##Twitter application
Before you run the application, create the ~/.twitter/activator
file, containing four lines; these lines represent your twitter consumer key and secret, followed by token value and token secret. To generate these values, head over to https://dev.twitter.com/apps/, create an application and add the appropriate lines to this file. An example ~/.twitter/activator
is
*************TqOdlxA
****************************Fv9b1ELexCRhI
********-*************************GUjmnWQvZ5GwnBR2
***********************************ybgUNqrZwD
Naturally, the you will need to replace the *
s with the values in your consumer token and secret; and token value and secret.
##Running
Having added the file above, you can see the application "in action", by run sbt run
in an ANSI terminal. Once running, type in track christmas
, track daley
, or anything else that tickles your fancy.
