Description:

Twitter data is a valuable source for academic researchers who wish to study the public conversation. Twitter's filtered stream API allows developers to get a sample of the real-time Tweets as they happen. However, in order to effectively process, store and study the Twitter data, you should have an efficient data pipeline. In this workshop, we will build a data pipeline on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Python to:

• Stream data from the Twitter Filtered Stream Endpoint
• Process this data with Amazon Simple Queueing Service (SQS)
• Store this Tweet data on Amazon S3

Prerequisites:

Ideally, participants should apply for a Twitter Developer Account and have an AWS account prior to attending this session.
