twitter-word-cloud-generator

Generates word cloud from a user's tweets(and retweets)

How to Run

First, get your consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, access_token_secret from here

Then, clone this repository and install the requirements.

$ git clone https://github.com/sudeephb/twitter-word-cloud-generator
$ cd twitter-word-cloud-generator
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, open the 'keys.json' file. Replace all the "XXXXX" by the corresponding secret keys that you obtained from https://developer.twitter.com/.

After that, run the 'generate.py' file passing the username of the user whose tweets you want to see the wordcloud of. You can also pass the desired filename of the output file, without extenstion. If not passed, it defaults to 'my_wordcloud.png'

$ python generate.py username [filename]

For example, if I wanted to generate a word cloud of my tweets in the file 'output_word_cloud.png' :

$ python generate.py sudeeph_b output_word_cloud

This saves the wordcloud as seen below in 'output_word_cloud.png'
