Pegawards

Finds the followers with whom you interact the most via Favs, Replies, RTs or RT+Quotes according to a scoring function

Set up

Set your Twitter API keys as environment variables. See pegawards.env for an example or modify it and run . ./pegawards.env

There are some requests not allowed by Twitter's API (such as retrieving the quoted tweets and an infinite amount of replies) that need to be scrapped.

To set up the scrapper, go to Twitter (while logged in) from any website and by inspecting any request, retrieve the following elements from the Request Headers:

x-csrf-token
authorization
cookie

And set them as environment variables (again, see pegawards.env for an example). Please note that COOKIE must be set with single quotes.

Usage

Download your data

First, run data_collector.py to download your tweets and its metadata:

$ python data_collector.py --help
usage: data_collector.py [-h] m y

Download your tweets and its metadata from a given month/year

positional arguments:
  m           Month [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
  y           Year

optional arguments:

Some recommendations:
