# Simple Twitter Profile Analyzer
The goal of this simple python script is to analyze a Twitter profile through its tweets by detecting:
- Average tweet activity, by hour and by day of the week
- Timezone and language set for the Twitter interface
- Sources used (mobile application, web browser, ...)
- Geolocations
- Most used hashtags, most retweeted users and most mentioned users
- Friends analysis based on most frequent timezones/languages
There are plenty of things that could be added to the script, feel free to contribute! 👍
