Twitter tools
=============

This project contains different tools to help search and analyze in twitter.

The analysis of tweets is often followed by doing the same pipeline for different projects.
This toolkit is a compilation and wrapper of many tools to ease the pipeline of analysis in twitter.
First of all it provides search utilities, either by searching by a twitter query or by identifier.
Then it integrates some models to infer users age, gender, and if it is a person or an organisation. This inference should be used with caution since it is not perfect, but can yield an overview of the type of users analyzed.
There is also a location of users inference for Spanish locations based on their _location_ text or _description_ in their Twitter profile.
For the text analysis we provide a pipeline for Topic analysis using the LDA algorithm and some sentiment analysis too.
Finally we provide a network creation of the tweets and users function for a network analysis.

Twitter Search
--------------

### Credentials

To run this you need to provide your Twitter API credentials in the form of 
YAML file.  

For example:
```yaml
search_tweets_api:
  endpoint: https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/all
  consumer_key: XXXXXXXXXXXX
  consumer_secret: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  bearer_token: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
```

### Searching tweets

You query tweets with `search_tweets_by_query`.  
To have a more detailed for the parameters take a look at the [Twitter API](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/search/api-reference/get-tweets-search-all)


```python
from twitter_tools.search_tools import TweetSearchUtil

tsu = TweetSearchUtil('path_to_yaml_creds')
tweets = tsu.search_tweets_by_query(
    "python OR #python"
    ,tweet_fields="author_id,conversation_id,created_at,id,in_reply_to_user_id,lang,public_metrics,text"
    )
```

### Searching by id

You can also search retrieve tweets and users by their id.

```python
from twitter_tools.search_tools import TweetSearchUtil

tsu = TweetSearchUtil('path_to_yaml_creds')
tweets = tsu.retreive_tweets_by_id(
    ['12341','12342']
    ,tweet_fields="author_id,conversation_id,created_at,id,in_reply_to_user_id,lang,public_metrics,text"
    )

users = tsu.retreive_users_by_id(
    ['4321','4322']
    ,user_fields="created_at,description,id,name,profile_image_url,public_metrics,username"
    )
```


Twitter Inference
-----------------

This is a Wrapper of [M3Inference](https://github.com/euagendas/m3inference)
but with an ease to use and make a general pipeline with this set of tools.  

```python
from twitter_tools.user_inference import TwitterUserInference

users = [{...},...]

tui = TwitterUserInference()

inference = tui.infer_users(users, lang='en')
```

Users Location
--------------

This tool is only available for Spain locations.  
To feature other countries, a json in the format as `places_spain.json` should
be added.  

This tools checks the location of an user based otheir text location and
description when no geolocation is available.
Checks for city/country/region words in the user profile to try to identify for
its location.

```python
from location.location_detector import LocationDetector

user = {...}

detector = LocationDetector('path_to_places_json')

loc, method = detector.identify_location(user['location'], user['description'])

```

Topic analysis
--------------

This tool will do every step of topic analysis using LDA.  

The typical pipeline can be represented by as follows.

```python
from twitter_tools.topic_analysis import TopicAnalysis

tweets = [...]
analyzer = TopicAnalysis(language='es')

tweets_clean = analyser.clean_docs(tweets)
tweets_lemmas = analyser.lemmatize(tweets_clean, 
                                filter_postags=['ADJ', 'ADV', 'NOUN', 'VERB'])
ldamodel, docs_dict = analyzer.topic_analysis(tweets_lemmas,
                                            topics_nb=10, print_words=10)
```

Sentiment Analysis
------------------

Sentiment analysis of text using pretrained models.

```python
from twitter_tools.topic_analysis import TopicAnalysis

tweets = [...]
analyzer = TopicAnalysis(language='es')

sentiments = [analyzer.sentiment_analysis(t) for t in tweets]
```

Network creation
----------------

This tool creates graphs based on the tweets and users interactions.  
It can create the user and the tweet graph.

The tweets dict like object must contain at least the following fields:
`id`, `retweeted_by`, `favorited_by`.  
The users dict like object must contain at least the following fields:
`id`, `screen_name`.

```python
from twitter_tools.network_tools import create_tweets_network, create_users_network

users = [...]
tweets = [...]

T = create_tweets_network(tweets)
U = create_users_network(users, tweets)

```

Once the network create you can export it and open the file in Gephi to visualize it and analize it.

```python
import networkx as nx

nx.write_gml(T, "tweets_network.gml")
```
