Simple app that streams tweets in real time using websockets

tweet-stream

This is a Python GitHub repository that provides a real-time tweet stream using a WebSocket. The repository is designed to help users easily collect and process live tweets from Twitter's streaming API using a WebSocket server. The tweets are also saved in a MongoDB database.

Configuration

• Before running the script, you will need to set up a Twitter developer account and create a new app. Once you have done this, you will need to obtain your app's Bearer Token key.
• You will also need to create a .env file in the root directory of the project and fill in the following variables:
  • WEBSOCKET_PORT is the port on which the WebSocket server will run.
  • MONGODB_HOST, MONGODB_DBNAME, MONGODB_USERNAME, and `MONGODB_PASSWORD are the MongoDB connection details.
  • TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN is the bearer token obtained from Twitter's developer dashboard.
