Why did I need twitter's live stream?
I'm working on several machine learning algorithms. Research and experimenting in this area require some data to run algorithms on. Previously, I had local corpuses, twitter dumps and a bit of data I captured from users (grammarly users). Not bad data sources, but the problem is that them are static. Once taken snapshot.
My further work did require dynamic data, a live stream of messages. There are several options to get them. Twitter is a good one. So, I went through the twitter API documentation and obtained all the streamed data I needed. Here is a quick overview how to use them in python.
