A data visualization of tweets in the US, updating in real time

TweetStream

Getting up and running:

Before running the project locally, you'll need to sign up for the Twitter API in order to be granted access keys.

1. Clone this repo, and in the root of the project directory, create a file named twitter-credentials.json.

2. Visit Twitter's developer site and click 'create new app'. Twitter will generate an access token key, an secret token, a consumer key, and a secret consumer token.

3. Replace the X's in the example below with your Twitter API keys, and save the file.

twitter-credentials.json

{
        "access_token_key": "XXXX-XXXXXX",
        "access_token_secret": "XXXXXXX",
        "consumer_key": "XXXXXXX",
        "consumer_secret": "XXXXXXX"
}

Once you've taken care of that, you should be up and running locally after executing the commands below.

1. npm install

2. grunt watch

3. npm run start
