Nice, very interesting! He seems to tweet surprisingly a high count of positive tweets (51%). But how much of this tweets are fake news and lies is another question... nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/23...
Yeah, that resulted surprising to me! I've heard that he's not the only one tweeting from his account, but he has a team for this. That might be a possible reason. That's why it results interesting to analyze the polarity of tweets that come from different sources.
Well technically these sentiment calculations should be taken with a grain of salt. you use VaderSentiment library as well and compare both values of sentiments to get better insight.

Hi there, I was having some trouble with the "visualizing the statistics" section as detailed in sections 2.1 and 2.2; if you take a look at my GitHub repo, you'll notice I had to comment out # %matplotlib inline and replaced requirement with plt.ion() within the script-running file (trumpet.py) in order to run the scripts without failure (e.g. python3 trumpet.py). Can you please explain how to generate the visualizations as detailed in those sections? For some reason, I'm unable to render those visual within my Jupyter Notebook-env/config. I'm only 10 days new to Python, so I'd appreciate any guidance. Great tutorial-
thanks!
Instead of adding plt.ion() at the beginning, you can add the following code each time you're generating a plot, in order to visualize it: plt.show(). This will open an external window and display the immediately last plot generated.

Would it be possible to check / detect how many likes comes from the staff of a VIP ? It is said that many politicals manage likes and retweets by asking their support to like and retweet their messages? (not sure to be clear) Through 200 tweets, this would be possible to look at the twitter accounts that like systematically and quickly (as soon as published, like bots do) then substract (or minimize) them from the final evaluation.
If you want to count something like this in real time, you would need to modify the way you're consuming the API (rest) and create a listener (you can still do that with Tweepy). That's what I would do, I'd create a specific listener for Trump's tweets and use threads to count for certain time likes and retweets for a new tweet.
Does this answer help? I can try to be more explicit. :)
Thank you for your tutorial! Its was easy to follow and everything work on my first attempt!
I do not want to reload all the tweets from the web, while I am developing. I altered the first few lines, to cache the tweets locally.
save = "saved.pickle"
if os.path.exists(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), save)):
with open(save, 'rb') as f:
tweets = pickle.load(f)
else:
extractor = twitter_setup()
tweets = extractor.user_timeline(screen_name="realDonaldTrump", count=200)
with open(save, 'wb') as f:
pickle.dump(tweets, f)
What I did at the end (in my personal case) was to save the tweet list as a csv file (data.to_csv(...)), taking as an advantage that I already had all the info in a pandas dataframe. :)
I was looking for a tutorial to recommend to an acquaintance who is moving into digital journalism, and I came across your post. It is very well-written. Thanks for sharing!
This is just a short remark, since you seem to be using Pandas, but not to its fullest potential.
When you observe a possible relationship between RTs and Likes in subsection 2.1, you can quantify this by computing the (Pearson) correlation
data['RTs'].corr(data['Likes'])
(It is close to 0.7.)
When finding the sources of tweets in subsection 2.3, instead of using loops,
sources = data['Source'].unique()
and then, when computing percentages,
data['Source'].value_counts()
You can put the latter in a data frame... In any case, thanks again!
I must say that it was for an introductory workshop and I finished all the material during dawn three days before or something. :P
It might be possible that most of the last part is not optimized in code. :(
Thanks for your observations! :D
They simplify the data handling using the potential of Pandas. :)
Hye mate thanks for this tutorial. It seems to be working fine with any hash tag, Except #LetsTaxThis . Do you mind to have a look and update , will be very helpful.
Basically I want to extract data from Twitter using #LetsTaxThis Hashtag.
Nicely done. I had installed Anaconda before but didn't really get past Hello World in the Jupyter notebook. This was an excellent idea to get people like me off their proverbial rear-end and use it for a very fun idea! I was able to follow it right through and get everything to work after dusting off the cobwebs of my Anaconda environment.
Hi Rodolfo, Thanks a lot for a very comprehensive tutorial. However, I still could not get rid of the credentials import problem
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'credentials'
I saw in the discussion that you have mentioned a solution but I am very new to Pytho. So I still could not figuer out the solution. Can you please discribe how the file credentials.py should look like (offcourse leaving the blank space where I can put my own credentials)? Thanks a lot.
Consume as a Rest API. In that case, the deployment in Heroku (or any other deployment service) would have to process the new tweets and add the new data to the previous.
Create a stream listener to continuously detect a new tweet and process it.
In 1., the simplest way would be only to schedule a task (a simple script) to be executed on certain time (pythonanywhere also works for this, I have a twitter bot that runs every 24 hours). Anyway one can create a service using Tweepy, in fact there's a Flask-Tweepy integration: flask-tweepy.readthedocs.io/en/lat...
i am running this script in pycharm ,everything is working fine but it is not showing the sentimental anylsis part,no error no output,below is the last part of output not showing the sentimental anaylysis,any body can help me.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I'm new to python and had a quick question though. You mentioned that textblob provides a trained analyzer, and you use that in your tutorial to assess the polarity of Trump's tweets. Can you tell me where I can access the list of words that's associated with positive/negative/neutral? I've been looking on textblob documentation but haven't found it yet.
The whole article is great, but is not really precise. And here is the reason for that: These twits are made by two personalities, one from Android, one from iPhone. Here is the details: varianceexplained.org/r/trump-foll...
But anyway, really great work.
Thanks for sharing!
One of my ideas about this post is to give tools to implement solutions on different areas. As you say, this could help in healthcare analysis. For that you might need a specific classifier (not the texblob's default I used), and you can learn how to build one in the last reference I provide in the post.
If you begin working on that, please let us know if there's a thing on which we may help.

New to Python, wondering how to retrieve more than the default 15 tweets from this code? I looked up a few solutions elsewhere but couldn't figure out how to integrate. Suggestions?
Thanks again! - Rich
We're actually retrieving the first 200 tweets, this is specified in the
countparameter:The API allows us to retrieve at most 200 tweets per call.
Just went through the post again and found:
We create a tweet list as follows:
tweets = extractor.user_timeline(screen_name="realDonaldTrump", count=200)
print("Number of tweets extracted: {}.\n".format(len(tweets)))
We print the most recent 5 tweets:
print("5 recent tweets:\n")
for tweet in tweets[:5]:
print(tweet.text)
print()
Which I've replaced with:
tweets = extractor.search(input("Topic you want to analyze: "))
Perhaps I need to play with this, if I can't figure it out, I'll re-ask. Lol my apologies!
Fixed w/ very simple:
tweets = extractor.search(input("Topic you want to analyze: "), count=200)
Thanks!
Although, even with count=200, this retrieves 100 tweets only.
Is there a way to refresh and retrieve more?
Thanks again!

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial.
I noticed that tweets containing RTs are not printed in full. How do I get the full RT text?
I am able to un-trunctate a tweet using this:
if tweet['truncated']:
tweet_text = tweet['extended_tweet']['full_text']
else:
tweet_text = tweet['text']
but it won't work for tweets containing RTs.
Anyone know how I can get the full RTs?
I would need it to get an accurate sentiment analysis.
Many thanks for the help!
Hi!
One possible approach would be adding the
tweet_modeparameter as follows:Let me know if that does the trick. :)
How do we search by hashtag and not by username:
