Particular/HashBus - Githubissues

Prerequisites

MongoDB
SQL Server
- You must create the database before running the apps (see the connection string in the config files)

HashBus.Twitter.Monitor configuration [Optional]

The HashBus.Twitter.Monitor.Simulator allows testing of most HashBus functionality without using the public Twitter API. In order to run against the public Twitter API the following steps are required:

Go to https://apps.twitter.com/ and create a new application;
On the machine where the HashBus.Twitter.Monitor needs to run, create the following environment variables:
- HASHBUS_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY: Twitter app consumer key
- HASHBUS_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET: Twitter app consumer secret
- HASHBUS_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN: Twitter app access token
- HASHBUS_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET: Twitter app token secret

Web API

The web API is hosted at http://hashbus-demo.cloudapp.net:8080/

Available resources are:

http://hashbus-demo.cloudapp.net:8080/top-tweeters-retweeters/{track}
http://hashbus-demo.cloudapp.net:8080/top-tweeters/{track}
http://hashbus-demo.cloudapp.net:8080/top-retweeters/{track}
http://hashbus-demo.cloudapp.net:8080/most-mentioned/{track}
http://hashbus-demo.cloudapp.net:8080/most-retweeted/{track}
http://hashbus-demo.cloudapp.net:8080/most-hashtagged/{track}

A 'track' is a Twitter search term. At the time of writing, the HashBus Twitter monitor is running for the #BuildStuffLT hashtag.

Here comes the funky thing. There is a bug in Nancy which prevents a # (hash/pound) sign from being used in a URL, even if URL encoded. For this reason we use a special character sequence 해시 to represent #. (해시 means "hash" in Korean!)

Thus, example URL's for #BuildStuffLT are:

These URL's will give you a leaderboard object which looks like this:
