00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,440
- [Speaker] One of the
fun and interesting things

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,600
that you'll do as you work your
way into the higher lessons

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,580
and chapters of our Python materials,

4
00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:14,030
is the "Data Mining Twitter" lesson.

5
00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:15,850
Now in this lesson, one of the things

6
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:18,190
you are going to be doing is interacting

7
00:00:18,190 --> 00:00:21,520
with the Twitter APIs over the internet

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,730
to do things like search for
tweets on a specific topic,

9
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:28,160
to analyze those tweets,

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,307
to stream tweets live as they occur,

11
00:00:31,307 --> 00:00:34,590
and to analyze those live,

12
00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:37,440
and do things like
perform sentiment analysis

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,250
where you're looking at each tweet's text

14
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:43,650
and trying to determine whether
it's positive or negative,

15
00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:46,180
or analyze them however you like.

16
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:50,090
Now in order to do that,
Twitter is going to require you

17
00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:52,350
to have a developer account.

18
00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:56,140
So you're going to need
to register for access

19
00:00:56,140 --> 00:01:00,100
to using their APIs and that
will give you the credentials

20
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,140
that you need in order
to work with a library

21
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:05,050
that we use called Tweepi,

22
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:07,890
which is going to make it
really easy to interact

23
00:01:07,890 --> 00:01:09,940
with Twitter on your behalf.

24
00:01:09,940 --> 00:01:13,530
Now to sign up for your
own Twitter credentials,

25
00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:15,810
which you must do before you execute

26
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:19,600
any of those Twitter-based
examples in the Twitter lesson

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,080
or in subsequent lessons that also have

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,130
some Twitter processing in them,

29
00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:27,510
you will need to go to this website

30
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:32,510
developer.twitter.com/en/apply-for-access

31
00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:36,980
and fill out the web
form there to be approved

32
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:39,300
for a Twitter developer account.

33
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,050
Now at the time that we signed up,

34
00:01:41,050 --> 00:01:43,780
if you were signing up
for a personal account,

35
00:01:43,780 --> 00:01:45,610
it was approved immediately.

36
00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:47,800
If you were signing up
for a business account,

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,210
they took a little bit
longer look at those

38
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:52,460
and it could take anywhere from a few days

39
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:56,403
to a few weeks to get approved
for a business account.
