About

Tweeter Manager is developed in the Java Spring MVC Framework.

It has a RESTful API and takes GET and POST requests at different endpoints. The RESTful API allows us to post and retrieve tweets in a flexible way by accepting multiple filters and request body.

Tweeter Manger uses iText to generate, and send PDF reports about recent tweets, statistical of tweets and tweets with custom id and tags to ensure proper management of all tweets.

It uses Maven to help managing dependencies such as Bootstrap, Tomcat7 and MongoDB.

Tweeter Manager is deployed and tested in WebSphere Liberty Profile(To Be Worked On).

It uses MongoDB to store data and the instance of MongoDB is hosted on cloud.
