tweetstream

tweetstream is a Node.js app that's designed to show the results of a Twitter search on a big screen. It uses Twitter's streaming API to track a particular keyword, and then uses WebSockets to stream these to the front-end. The tweets are then queued up in the front end, and a new one is shown every 6 seconds.

Running

Register an application with Twitter, and then set the following environment variables:

  • TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
  • TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
  • TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY
  • TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

You can then run the application like so:

$ node server.js

Finally, go to http://localhost:7080 to view the tweets.
