tech wont build it twitter visualization

I wanted to visualize tweets for a hashtag to browse the data in an easily scrubbable way through all of time.

Local usage

Install node packages

npm install

Create a .env file in this folder. Create a Twitter application and set variables in the file accordingly:

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET_KEY=
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=

Write IDs for the related tweets to a file

node get-ids.js

Get tweet data and save it to a file

node get-tweet-info.js

Open visualization/index-2.html for something like this with on-hover functionality:
