!["Release"](https://github-release-version.herokuapp.com/github/timvaillancourt/smallhands/release.svg?style=flat)

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/timvaillancourt/smallhands.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/timvaillancourt/smallhands)

A simple load generator for MongoDB using mentions of @realDonaldTrump  via the Twitter Streaming API.

!["make run"](https://github.com/timvaillancourt/smallhands/blob/master/screenshots/run.png)

## Required

1. A Twitter account

2. A set of read-only "Twitter Apps" keys (*See: [Twitter Apps Keys](#twitter-apps-keys) steps below*)

3. A Percona Server for MongoDB / MongoDB instance, replset or cluster

4. Python 2.7 (*Python 2.6 and 3.x not tested*) with 'pip', 'json' and 'dateutil' modules, ie: *"yum install python-pip python-json python-dateutil"* on Redhat/CentOS

5. Pip dependencies specified in 'requirements.txt' (*installed by ["make"](#getting-started) command*)

### Twitter Apps Keys

Smallhands requires Twitter API auth keys. You will need to register a new read-only "app" at https://apps.twitter.com to get a set of Consumer and Access auth key pairs.

## Disclaimer

The test tweet data is likely to contain offensive material, false information, etc.

## Getting Started

```

git clone https://github.com/timvaillancourt/smallhands

cd smallhands

make

cp example.yml config.yml

# (edit config.yml for your situation)

make run

```

## The Future...

1. Better, trump-themed errors/handling

##  Code

I beat Python with a hammer until it works. Your improvements are appreciated!
