README

          
*metatweet* is a Twitter bot that watches for changes in tweet metadata.  You

can see the latest blueprint of over 1,000 JSON fields that have been found in

tweets [here](https://github.com/edsu/metatweet/blob/master/blueprint.json). An

instance of *metatweet* is running [@tweetjson](https://twitter.com/tweetjson).

You will need to set the following variables in your environment before you run

*metatweet.py*:

* CONSUMER\_KEY

* CONSUMER\_SECRET

* ACCESS\_TOKEN

* ACCESS\_TOKEN\_SECRET

*metatweet* was loosely inspired by Bradley Fidler and Amelia Acker's idea of

*infradata* from their paper [Metadata, infrastructure, and computer-mediated

communication in historical perspective](https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/asi.23660).
