Fetch tweets from CSV files #390

Closed formulated closed 4 years ago

formulated commented 4 years ago

Hi. Thank you for your contribution to this programming. I really enjoy using TCAT.

One issue is about fetching tweets from csv files. I installed TCAT on AWS's Ubuntu. I do know any knowledge about php language. I have a twitter URL csv file.Thus, I need to use "part-csv.php."

It is quite unclear how to use the fetch function. Even with several hours googling, I cannot find any way to solve it. The same issues would be applied to most FAQ information (e.g., search, user timelines, import, and etc.)

Do I have to change the source code? such as using "sudo nano parse-csv php", or just "php parse-csv.php climatechange-tweets.csv lookup-ids.txt."

If the latter is correct, How can I upload my csv file on the TCAT. Do I have to use AWS bucket to read csv file? or Can I use my local file? e.g., php parse-csv.php s3://.../url.csv, lookup-ids.txt

In sum, without CS knowledge, it is hard to follow your instruction of FAQ

If you give a more clear explanation, such as a tutorial, more people can enjoy your effort!
