Mining tweet data via Tweepy

1. 环境配置

• 1.1 Python环境
  $ python -V
  Python 2.7.13
• 1.2 Tweepy Install
  $ pip install tweepy
• 1.3. Twitter account
  配置好Twitter Developer 账号，在Twitter Application页面中 apps.twitter.com/.
  Create new App -- Enter the app you created before -- Keys and access tokens.
  记录如下数据：Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token, Access Token Secret

2.Get Started !!

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# getStarted
import tweepy
from tweepy import OAuthHandler 
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_Token, access_Token_secret)

# api.home_timeline是一个home的tweet集合（lazy type）
api = tweepy.API(auth)
for tweet in api.home_timeline(): 
    print tweet.text

以上的代码会显示homepage里所有tweets. In my case

api.home_timeline()[0].text()就是Donald J.Trump的这条tweet
