***IMPORTANT WARNING: The use of yourTwapperKeeper is most likely against the recent Twitter Terms of Services (ToS) due to some of the recent updates (Section 4A https://dev.twitter.com/terms/api-terms looks like a nail in the coffin). Use at your own risk - I take no liability for the use of the software. - John ----------------------------- WHAT IS yourTWAPPERKEEPER yourTwapperKeeper is an open version of TwapperKeeper.com designed to be hosted by you ----------------------------- FEATURES - Simple, easy way to archive data from Twitter directly on your server - Output to HTML, RSS, EXCEL, and JSON - Archives from both Twitter Streaming API and Search API (for reachback and any missed tweets) ----------------------------- WHAT YOU NEED A dedicated virtual server with a dedicated IP address running APACHE / PHP / MYSQL (tested with APACHE 2.2.15 / PHP 5.3.3 / MYSQL 5.0.77 on CENTOS 5.5). (Shared servers could cause issues with blacklisting and are not recommended! For your reference, we tested on RackspaceCloud servers - http://rackspacecloud.com) Here is a step-by-step guide to install on Rackspace Cloud: http://jobrieniii.tumblr.com/post/15240403050/how-to-install-yourtwapperkeeper-on-a-rackspace-cloud ----------------------------- HOW TO INSTALL 1. Extract .tar.gz file into your apache server folder (i.e. /var/www/html/) 2. Create a MYSQL database and import the tables / data from file SQL. 3. Login to Twitter with the account you want to use for archiving, and [Register a new application] - http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new - Application Name = Change to your liking - Description = Change to your liking - Application Website = Your URL where the site will be hosted (i.e. http://yourtwapperkeeperexample.com/) - Organization = Change to your liking - Application Type = Browser - Callback URL = Your_URL/callback.php (i.e. http://yourtwapperkeeperexample.com/callback.php) - Default Access Type = Read & Write - Application Icon = Change or leave default 4. After application is successfully created, write down: - Consumer Key - Consumer Secret 5. Select "My Access Token" on right hand side. Write down: - Access Token (oauth_token) - Access Token Secret (oauth_token_secret) 6. Now time to edit the config.php file on your server. Make sure to change the following: /* Host Information */ Change the host information based upon your host. /* Administrators - Twitter screen name(s) who can administer / start / stop archiving */ Users in this list are allowed to start / stop the archiving processes on the server. Must be at least one. Recommend using the same twitter account used to create application. /* Users - Twitter screen names that are allowed to use Your Twapper Keeper site - leaving commented means anyone can use site*/ Users in this list are allowed to create archives and edit / delete archives they own. Leaving blank means anyone can create archives and edit / delete ones they own. /* Your Twapper Keeper Twitter Account Information used to query for tweets (this is common for the site) */ This should be the account information for the user who created the Twitter application. Also, use the oauth information captured in step 5. /* Your Twapper Keeper Application Information - setup at http://dev.twitter.com/apps and copy in consumer key and secret */ Update with the information captured in step 4. /* MySQL Database Connection Information */ Update with your DB information 7. After this is all done - start apache / mysql and start archiving! ----------------------------- CREDITS Your TwapperKeeper leverages both TwitterOAuth (http://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth) and phirehose (http://code.google.com/p/phirehose/).
