metatweet is a Twitter bot that watches for changes in tweet metadata. You can see the latest blueprint of over 1,000 JSON fields that have been found in tweets here. An instance of metatweet is running @tweetjson.
You will need to set the following variables in your environment before you run metatweet.py:
- CONSUMER_KEY
- CONSUMER_SECRET
- ACCESS_TOKEN
- ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
metatweet was loosely inspired by Bradley Fidler and Amelia Acker's idea of infradata from their paper Metadata, infrastructure, and computer-mediated communication in historical perspective.
