twitter-streaming-api

I am interested in building a streaming API (read-only) similar to what Twitter has built. Data will only be going unidirectional, from server to client. Clients do not have to be web browsers but merely anything that can technically keep a persistent HTTP connection open. I'm fairly certain what Twitter's streaming API is doing is not WebSockets and not COMET. I was wondering if the technology/strategy that they deployed is one with a w3c specification that one can study. I don't necessarily see any links to their strategy on W3C - so it might be something "custom" but any point in the right

I've been trying to consume the Twitter Streaming API using Python Requests. There's a simple example in the documentation: import requests import json r = requests.post('https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json', data={'track': 'requests'}, auth=('username', 'password')) for line in r.iter_lines(): if line: # filter out keep-alive new lines print json.loads(line) When I execute this, the call to requests.post() never returns. I've experimented and proved that it is definitely connecting to Twitter and receiving data from the API. However, instead of returning a response object, it

I am using twitter4j to connect to Stream API. I understand that from this post, Change Twitter stream filter keywords without re-opening stream , there is no way to change keywords while the connection is open. I have to disconnect and change the filter predicate and reconnect it. I would like to know if there is any code sample that would allow me to disconnect it, change the keywords and reconnect it? Currently, I tried to do this in the StatusListener under onStatus() where after an X amount of time has passed, it will change the keyword to "juice". But there is no method for me to close

Ok, so I'm a complete beginner with Rx and unfortunately very new to js and streams in js as well. Im using this https://github.com/trygve-lie/twitter-stream-api to connect to twitters streaming api and receive json objects with tweets. So far I have this code var Rx = require('rxjs/Rx'); var TwitterStream = require('twitter-stream-api'), fs = require('fs'); var filter = 'tweet'; var keys = { consumer_key : "key", consumer_secret : "secret", token : "token", token_secret : "tokensecret" }; var Twitter = new TwitterStream(keys); Twitter.stream('statuses/filter', { track: filter }); Twitter.on(

I am trying to go through tweets of a particular user and get all replies on that tweet. I found that the APIv1.1 of twitter does not directly support it. Is there a hack or a workaround on getting the replies for a particular tweet. I am using python Streaming API. There is a workaround using the REST API. You will need the id_str and @username of the author of the original tweet you want to find replies to. You should use the Search API for the "@username" of the author. Go through the results looking for the 'in_reply_to_status_id' field to compare to the id_str of the specific tweet you

During migration from spark 1.6.2 to spark 2.0.0 appeared that package org.apache.spark.streaming.twitter has been removed and twitter streaming is no longer available as well as dependency <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId> <artifactId>spark-streaming-twitter_2.11</artifactId> <version>2.0.0</version> </dependency> Can anyone suggest how to procced twitter stream in new spark?
