# Twitter Replies Parser
Uses the Twitter API to find all replies to a tweet and save them to a JSON file.
To run this application, you will first need to create a [Twitter App](https://developer.twitter.com/). I used a premium app for this, not a standard app, so YMMV if you try this with a standard app.
Then, you will need to clone this project and set the following environment variables:
- TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY: your Consumer API Key
- TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET: your Consumer API secret key
- TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN: your access token, which you can create in the same page containing your Consumer API key
- TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET: your access token secret
- TWITTER_ENV: the name of your twitter app environment, e.g. `dev`
You can find these on your app page, which as of this writing looks like this:
Once you've configured everything, run this app with `npm start` and then open your browser to [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080). Enjoy!
**Note:** Twitter doesn't have any APIs to _directly_ fetch the replies to a tweet, so this app uses an algorithm to try and find as many replies as it can. It is highly accurate, but not 100% accurate. Notably, it fails to pick up replies to tweets where the person replying excludes the author of the original tweet in the "reply-to" section.
