There can be many different ways to get real time emoji count for Twitter data. However, the emojitracker by Matthew Rothenberg seems very interesting and easy to me. Thanks Roth for making this simple! There is also emojistats but this count is based on iOS devices only. So I decided to use emojitracker data for my work.
How to get emoji counts
- Go to emojitracker and save it as a HTML file
- Pass this file as an input to parse.py
- Output will be saved into output.csv file
