We read data from the AFP, theguardian and the storyful APIs. We make use of OpenCalais to extract semantic data from the data delivered by the APIs.
Libraries we use:
- jQuery and jQuery template for pretty front-end stuff.
- crossfilter for managing large data objects in JavaScript.
- Flask for Python back-end which reads from the APIs and posting and reading result from OpenCalais.
The application is hosted on heroku.
The application is running here: http://peaceful-waters-6158.herokuapp.com/
