Test 1

Retrieve id's for twitter handles

For each account in accounts.json we want to retrieve the ID of the account. Similar to the functionality of https://tweeterid.com/ , but then in a custom JavaScript library.

A part of the accounts in accounts.json already have this ID, some others do not.

  • Goal is to have a method in which a twitter handle can be passed in, and the ID rolls out.
  • The ID does not need to be saved back to the file.

Test 2

Retrieve meta data for twitter handles

Retrieve 'meta-data' for each of the accounts in accounts.json

  • What is the data of the last tweet?

  • What is the total number of tweets for this account?

  • How many followers does this account have?

  • How many accounts does this account follow?

  • Any other meta-data that of the account that you think is relevant.

Test 3

Retrieve information of followers

For all the accounts in accounts.json

  • Find the names of the accounts that are followers
  • Save these names in a JSON-file on disk, per account a separate file.
