==========
Find list of users who contribute the most traffic to your Twitter home timeline.
## Details
Do you like browsing your Twitter feed but find some tweets are being drowned out by prolific users?
This app returns a list of users who contribute the most traffic to your Twitter home timeline.
If those users are no longer interesting to you, try moving them to a Twitter list or unfollow.
## Usage
npm install feed-tamer --save
## Sample application using feed-tamer
The following sample app returns:
```
Analyzing 800 most recent tweets for "my_twitter_name"...
Contributors to home feed:
[ { name: 'user_abc', count: 74 },
{ name: 'user_123', count: 28 },
...
...
]
```
To run app:
clone https://github.com/briangershon/feed-tamer.git
cd feed-tamer
```
export TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=""
export TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=""
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY=""
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=""
export SCREEN_NAME="my_twitter_name"
```
```
npm start
```
which runs the following code:
```
const feedTamer = require('feed-tamer');
const creds = {
consumer_key: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
consumer_secret: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET,
access_token_key: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY,
access_token_secret: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
};
const screenName = process.env.SCREEN_NAME;
const NUMBER_OF_TWEETS_TO_GATHER = 800; // 4 API calls. Twitter limit is 15 calls in 15 minutes.
feedTamer.homeFeedContributors(creds, screenName, NUMBER_OF_TWEETS_TO_GATHER, (err, finalTweetCount, contributors) => {
if (err) {
console.log('homeFeedContributors error', err);
} else {
console.log(`Analyzing ${finalTweetCount} most recent tweets for "${screenName}"...`);
console.log(`Contributors to home feed:`);
console.log(contributors);
}
});
```
