COVID-19 Trusted Sources

Twitter API Project - Alexandre MOURIEC - Romain GEFFROY

Our Twitter API Project's goal is to highlight important tweets about the COVID-19. It was built during the first 2 weeks of lockdown in France, for a class project. We used an experts' Twitter list made by Fortune Magazine.

We wanted to get tweets from these individuals or companies in the list and show them in a clean and easy to read interface, for people who don't use Twitter.

Tutorial

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/mrcalexandre/twitter-api-project.git
cd twitter-api-project

Install npm packages for the backend

Navigate to the backend folder:

cd backend

Fill every key and token needed in the app.js file, based on what the Twitter API gave you

const client = new Twitter({
  consumer_key: "CONSUMER_KEY",
  consumer_secret: "CONSUMER_SECRET",
  access_token: "ACCESS_TOKEN",
  access_token_secret: "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET",
});

Install the packages listed in package.json:

npm install
npm run servdev

If you have any issue, run this command to start over

rm -rf node_modules/ && rm -rf package-lock.json && npm install && npm start

If you run npm run servdev ,it will launch this command nodemon app.js, to watch for any modifications in our code. It will run on 4201 port.

You can stop the server using Ctrl-C.
