### [TWINT](https://github.com/twintproject/twint) Flask-Celery Server

Optimized tweets scraping

#### See also [Twint Kibana](https://github.com/Nedja995/twint_kibana)

#### Requirements

- Python3, [Twint](https://github.com/twintproject/twint), Flask, Celery

- Elasticsearch(v7)

- RabitMQ

- (optional) Flower 

#### Run server

1. Run Celery workers: 

- `$ celery worker --app=worker.celery --hostname=worker.fetching@%h --queues=fetching --loglevel=info`

- (Optional) task for reporting progress if it is implemented `$ celery worker --app=worker.celery --hostname=worker.saving@%h --queues=saving --loglevel=info`

2. Run Flask server: `$ python3 app.py`

- (Optional) Monitor Celery with Flower: `$ celery -A app.celery flower --broker='pyamqp://guest@localhost//'`

#### Use

1. Create ES index with [index-tweets.json](elasticsearch/index-tweets.json)

2. Start tweets fetching

- arguments are mapped to [twint config](https://github.com/twintproject/twint/blob/master/twint/config.py)

- I mainly use it with elasticsearch so I did not test with other arguments

- Since and Until and Search/User are required

```

  POST  http://localhost:5000/fetch

  {

    "Since": "2019-2-1",

    "Until": "2019-3-1",

    "Search": "",

    // or

    "User": ""

    "Elasticsearch": "localhost:9200",

    "Index_tweets": ""

  }

```
