I would like to apologize first if the question is a total newbie question, but I really am a total newbie on this.
I’m a student and I recently have joined a project that involves studying (mining) tweets. The project head asked me to use the Twitter API to extract tweets. What exactly is Twitter API and how can I use it? What do I need to know to start using it?
Twitter allows you to interact with its data ie tweets & several attributes about tweets using Twitter APIs. You’d need to know a server side scripting language like php, python or ruby to make requests to twitter api and results would be in
JSONformat that can be easily read by your program.A good starting point would be reading the official documentation at https://dev.twitter.com/ itself.
