Tweets metadata scraper & activity analyzer

Simple Twitter Profile Analyzer

The goal of this simple python script is to analyze a Twitter profile through its tweets by detecting:

• Average tweet activity, by hour and by day of the week
• Timezone and language set for the Twitter interface
• Sources used (mobile application, web browser, ...)
• Geolocations
• Most used hashtags, most retweeted users and most mentioned users
• Friends analysis based on most frequent timezones/languages

There are plenty of things that could be added to the script, feel free to contribute! 👍
