General Analysis of tweets regarding the United States Presidential Election and BREXIT.
First install Python dependencies via:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then, download corpora for NLTK (e.g., stopwords) by doing:
python
import nltk
nltk.download()
and selecting either all-corpora from the GUI that pops up, or (better option!) browsing to the corpora tab and selecting only the stopwords corpus.
Then, download corpora for TextBlob by doing:
python -m textblob.download_corpora
From here, you should be able to run
python analyze.py
... or view the PoliticalTweetAnalaysis Notebook to follow along and view detailed analysis of the code.
To visualize where each tweet came from using Leaflet.js, run this command to create the geo_data.json file:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888
and then open visualize_geodata.html on your browswer. You should then be able to interact with a map containing all the tweets and their origin.
