This is a basic ruby on rails app.

It takes tweets from the twitter streaming API and counts mentions of countries in European continent.

In order to use it you must add a file .env to the root and add your twitter API tokens.

Here is an example .env file (add your own access tokens!):

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=‘<YOUR-KEY>’

TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=‘<YOUR-SECRET>’

TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN=‘<YOUR-OAUTH-TOKEN>’

TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET=‘YOUR-SECRET-TOKEN’

NB Currently this app only works in the console by typing the following commands but I am working on completely the UI currently

#to enter rails console type: $ rails c

#To start TwitterApi function: $ TwitterApi

#To connect to streaming API: $ TwitterApi.client

#To stream and count tweets: $ TwitterApi.stream_tweets

Now you will see tweets being counted in the terminal.

Enjoy!
