From one of my more advanced courses at Weber State, we were instructed to build a program that would build a database out of tweets online meeting a specific search criteria. It would search for tweets with a specific word or phrase in a given geographical range. Then it would pass the text to a Microsoft AI that would rate the positivity or negatively of the wording of the tweet. The Microsoft AI return a score and the program would finally insert all the data into a sql server for analysis.
The project involved a variety of skills and knowledge including twitter and Microsoft keys, tokens, and APIs. It primarily was written in Python, but it also used sql and xml languages.
It was a very fun project. If you download the code, it won’t run unless you set up your own tokens for Microsoft and twitter and plug them into the code.
