tweetstats

Example application built as a non-blocking tweet parser using Scala's Akka Actor library

Just run it at the sbt prompt and you will get a report of statistics every 5 seconds

Hit Enter to end the reporting (you do have to Ctrl-C out of the sbt prompt unfortunately)

Usage

Add your consumer and access token as environment variables (Here is how to generate them from your twitter account: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/guides/access-tokens) :

export TWITTER_CONSUMER_TOKEN_KEY='my-consumer-key'
export TWITTER_CONSUMER_TOKEN_SECRET='my-consumer-secret'
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY='my-access-key'
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET='my-access-secret'

or in application.conf

twitter {
  consumer {
    key = "xxxx"
    secret = "xxx"
  }
  access {
    key = "xxxx"
    secret = "xxx"
  }
}
