# Cheetah Registry Scripts
This GitHub repo holds supporting scripts that are used to ingest info on cheetahs from Twitter into my Cheetah Registry App.
## Instructions
### Get a List of Usernames from Twitter
This repo comes with a file called `cheetahs.txt`, which I regularly refresh from my list of cheetahs on Twitter. But if you have your own list that you'd like to download, here's how to go about doing that:
From the instructions in this article:
- Go into Tweetdeck
- Click "add column"
- Click the list you want to add
- Once the list is added, click the "filter" button on the upper right of that list
- Click "Edit List"
- Click "Export List" in the upper right of that list. That will give you a list of Twitter usernames that you can copy and paste to a text file.
### Downloading User Profile Info from Twitter:
- `./download-list.sh ./cheetahs.txt`
- This will go through Twitter, download the user profile info of each user in that file, and write it to a JSON file in the `users/` directory.
- If a user's info already exists in `users/`, it won't be downloaded again, as a timesaving measure.
- As of this writing, download info on 180 cheetahs takes approximately 11 minutes.
### Exporting User Profile Info Into a CSV
- `./export-list.sh > cheetahs.csv`
- Turn our JSON into a CSV suitable for importing into my Google Doc
- This takes about 5 seconds for 180 cheetahs
### Importing into Google Drive
At this point, I'm ready to import the CSV of cheetahs into a spreadsheet in Google Drive,
at which point the cheetahs should show up in my app.
