A Twitter Filter

================

This is a simple python script that connects to the Twitter streaming api

and searches for keywords.

Usage

-----

This app requires a Twitter App Key and OAuth tokens, which it will read from

the following environment variables:

* `TWITTER_APP_KEY`

* `TWITTER_APP_SECRET`

* `TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN`

* `TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET`

I stick these in `~/.twitter`, and run `source ~/.twitter` prior to running

the filter.

The filter requires two parameters:

1. A search Query, and

2. A path to a text file. Matching tweets will be appended to this file.

Example usage:

    $ source ~/.twitter && python filter/main.py "search query" /path/to/tweets.txt
