Hi Guys,

 

Firstly can I apologise for my poor coding terminology that is one of many things I hope to improve through this forum and this project that I am hoping you guys can help me with. So I have done masses of research on this subject and now it’s just time to ask for help!!

 

So I am wanting to scrape Twitter, I have managed to create a .py code that does this for me when the shell is executed, however this is something currently done manually and the results are stored in a excel file and replaced every time the shell is run.

 

What I would like is for the following;

 

To create some code that scrapes all the tweets in the UK for one minute every hour on the hour.

 

I want this code to be run automatically through a programme and the results to be stored in a database for example so trends can be analysed at a later date.

 

Any help is VERY much appreciated,

 

Thank you in advance,

 

C.

"all the tweets in the UK" :) Thats quite the goal... :)

 

Really?

 

You think, finding scope was hard, I didnt think taking all the tweets for the UK for one minute of an hour would be that bad. 

 

I'm expecting what about 10,000 tweets? :/

The second one down is interesting :)

 

278,000 tweets in the world for 1 min, so your probably about right. :)
