PowerShell Twitter Scraper
PowerShell Twitter Scraper
PowerShellCommandline
Objective
Create a Twitter tweet scraper in PowerShell, that gets x amount of tweets from a user and displays it in a graph based on daily frequency.
Tools & Technologies
PowerShell
Details
As a case study for the Windows System Administration course at Thomas More, I created a PowerShell Script that outputs the tweet frequency for a specific handle (@). It's entirely written in PowerShell and makes use of the Twitter API in order to fetch the tweets.
A user can input the handle (@) followed by the number of Tweets to fetch and the graph will be displayed.
During this project I learned how to use the Twitter API, how to plot graphs using PowerShell and just how powerful of a tool PowerShell really is.
