Research/Create Twitter sentiment program to scan tweets using API #5

Need to research and read Twitter API documentation. After I have learned the Twitter API I need to make a simple program that scrapes for the last 100-300 tweets that contain "$xxxx".

Make sure you know how many tweets the Twitter API will let you scrape. We may need a lot of tweets to train our model before it understands tweet sentiments.

The Twitter API allows 500,000 requests per month, which should be enough for us. Also, twitterscraper.py successfully scrapes recent tweets that contain a given stock ticker.
