TweetFrequency (version 0.0.3)

Print out the most frequently used words in the last 1000 (or less) tweets.

• Contractions count as two words: don't: don and t.
• Output has been downcased.
• I used my own OAuth keys and access tokens so continuous use might throw a rate-limit error.
• You can't access protected tweets so it will throw a TweetFrequency::ProtectedUser error.

Setup

Install the gem:

gem install tweet_frequency

Open up irb:

irb

Add the gem:

> require 'tweet_frequency'

Use

Specify a user e.g. 'jack':

> user = TweetFrequency::User.new('jack')

Find out the most frequently used words in the last 1000 tweets:

> user.word_frequency

You can pass arguments to the call now. Note that these are the only options that are available right now:

> options = {
>   include_rts: true,
>   exclude_replies: true
> }
>
> user.word_frequency(options)

Conclusion

This was the first gem I ever made and I must say the experience has been extremely rewarding. Thank you for exposing me to this!
