# TwitterEventHubFeed
A command line tool that allow to stream feed from Twitter to EventHub. 

This project is a fork of the [TwitterCosmosDBFeed](https://github.com/tknandu/TwitterCosmosDBFeed) by [tknandu](https://github.com/tknandu)


## Pre-requisites
- (1) Registration as a Twitter App
    - You need to register the tool as a new application at <http://apps.twitter.com/>. After choosing a name and application for your app, you will be provided with a *twitter_consumer_key*, *twitter_consumer_secret*, *twitter_access_token* and *twitter_access_token_secret* - which need to be filled into *twitter2eh.json* to provide the app programmatic access to Twitter.
- (2) Create an Event Hub
    - You need to create a namespace for the Event Hubs type, and obtain the management credentials that your application needs to communicate with the event hub. To create a namespace and event hub, follow the procedure in this document - [Create an Event Hubs namespace and an event hub using the Azure portal](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-create)


## Getting Started

Install the package [twitter2eh](https://test.pypi.org/project/twitter2eh/) using pip:
```
pip install twitter2eh
or 
sudo pip install twitter2eh
```

## Usage
```
twitter2eh -h

usage: twitter2eh [-h] [-v] [--init] [-c CONF] [-s]

This program streams feed from Twitter to EventHub

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  --init                Create template client conf twitter2eh.json only if
                        there is no existing one
  -c CONF, --conf CONF  twitter2eh configuration file. Default:twitter2eh.json
  -s, --silent          silent mode - running the tool without displaying tweets json that you are streaming to your Event Hub
```
## Configuration file - twitter2eh.json
In order to run the tool, you need to configure a configuration file for the tool and specify the file in running the tool. 
```
{
    "twitter_consumer_key" : "<Consumer Key for Twitter App>",
    "twitter_consumer_secret" : "<Consumer Secret for Twitter App>",
    "twitter_access_token" : "<Access Token for Twitter App>",
    "twitter_access_secret" : "<Access Secret for Twitter App>",
    "track_keywords" : [
        "<Keyword or Hashtag>",
        "<Keyword or Hashtag>",
        "<Keyword or Hashtag>"
    ],
    "eventhub_namespace" : "<Event Hub Namespace>",
    "eventhub_entity" : "<Event Hub Entity Name>",
    "eventhub_sas_key" : "<Event Hub SAS Key Name>",
    "eventhub_sas_value" : "<Event Hub SAS Value>"
}
```

Please refer to [example configuration file](twitter2eh.json.example) and run the tool like this:

```
% twitter2eh --conf ./twitter2eh.json 
```

Or run with `-s|--silient` option if you want to run the tool without displaying tweets json that you're streaming to your Event Hub

```
% twitter2eh --conf ./twitter2eh.json --silent
```
