"""
|
|
Examples to demo the :py:mod:`twitterclient` code.
|
|
|
|
These demo functions should all run, with the following caveats:
|
|
|
|
* You must have obtained API keys from Twitter, and installed them according to
|
|
the instructions in the `twitter HOWTO <https://www.nltk.org/howto/twitter.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
* If you are on a slow network, some of the calls to the Twitter API may
|
|
timeout.
|
|
|
|
* If you are being rate limited while searching, you will receive a 420
|
|
error response.
|
|
|
|
* Your terminal window / console must be able to display UTF-8 encoded characters.
|
|
|
|
For documentation about the Twitter APIs, see `The Streaming APIs Overview
|
|
<https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview>`_ and `The REST APIs Overview
|
|
<https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public>`_.
|
|
|
|
For error codes see Twitter's
|
|
`Error Codes and Responses <https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/response-codes>`
