API

  • Two endpoints at /api/twitter and /api/search
  • Both endpoints accept a q query string such as ?q=healthcare or ?q=open%20source
  • The /api/search also starts an ActiveJob that queries for new tweets in 5 minute intervals. This ActiveJob isn't backed by a 3rd-party library and stores the job in memory; the jobs have to be added back if the process crashes.
  • In heroku, I populated the tweets using curl to hit the /api/search endpoint
