Twitter Search in Athena

A sample project that queries Twitter every 2 minutes and stores the results in S3. The project also sets up an Athena table and query. This project demonstrates using cloud.Timer to run a Lambda on an interval.

Setup

Register a new Twitter app.

Deploy and run the program

  1. Create a new stack:

    pulumi stack init twitter-athena
    
  2. In Twitter, get the keys for your application. Set configuration values for your Twitter consumer key/secret and application key/secret. Use the --secret flag to securely encrypt secret values.

    pulumi config set twitterAccessTokenKey <Value for Consumer Key (API Key)>
    pulumi config set --secret twitterAccessTokenSecret <Value for Consumer Secret (API Secret)>
    pulumi config set twitterConsumerKey <Value for Access Token>
    pulumi config set --secret twitterConsumerSecret <Value for Access Token Secret>
    
  3. Set a search term to query for:

    pulumi config set twitterQuery "Amazon Web Services"
    
  4. Set the AWS region:

    pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2
  5. Restore NPM modules via npm install.

  6. Preview and run the deployment via pulumi up. A total of 16 resources are created.

  7. Run pulumi stack output to view output properties (or view the stack on pulumi.com).

    $ pulumi stack output
    Please choose a stack: aws-serverless-js-twitter-dev
    Current stack outputs (4):
        OUTPUT                                           VALUE
        athenaDatabase                                   tweets_database
        bucketName                                       tweet-bucket-de18828
        createTableQueryUri                              https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/athena/home?force#query/saved/e394800e-a35e-44b3-b8ca-8b47b0f74469
        topUsersQueryUri                                 https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/athena/home?force#query/saved/51fa5744-bab6-4e5f-8cd6-9447b6619f06
    
  8. Navigate to the URL for createTableQueryUri and run the query in the Athena console. This will create a table called tweets.

  9. Navigate to the URL for topUsersQueryUri and run the query in Athena. You'll see tweets for your search term, by users with more than 1000 followers.
