Data collection

In order to be able to repeat the clustering on the same dataset, it can make sense to first gather a set of tweets for processing.

1. Get Twitter API key

   1. Create Twitter Account

   2. Create Twitter Application (https://apps.twitter.com/)

   3. Create consumer key and secret

   4. Save keys in config.txt separated by line break in the following order:

      1. consumer_key

      2. consumer_secret

      3. access_token

      4. access_token_secret

2. Run script: python parse_data.py

   two new files are created containing the gathered tweets

   5. twitter.dat: tweets in JSON-format

   6. twitter.db: same tweets in sqlite database
