Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.
BSI Sentiment is a Python library created at BSI Bocconi to download tweets and perform basic sentiment analysis on them.
BSI Sentiment can be installed using the pip
package manager:
foo@bar:~$ pip install bsi-sentiment --upgrade
foo@bar:~$ sentiment -h
usage: sentiment [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-a ANALYZER] [-q QUERY] [-s SINCE] [-u UNTIL] [-g GEO] [-r RADIUS] [-l LANG] [--user USERNAME] [--result_type {recent,popular,mixed}] [--max_tweets MAX_TWEETS] [--tweepy] [--credentials CREDENTIALS]
[--quiet]
{analyze,configure,download} [DEST]
BSI Tool for Sentiment Analysis. Tweets can be downloaded using either Snscrape (default) or Tweepy.
positional arguments:
{analyze,configure,download}
Action to perform.
DEST Output file location. Analysis/configuration/download output file is stored here. Default is current directory.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
Config file location. If action is 'analyze' or 'download', configuration file is read from here.
-a ANALYZER, --analyzer ANALYZER
Analyzer method for sentiment analysis. Available options are {'vader','textblob-pa','textblob-nb'}. Default is 'vader'.
-q QUERY, --query QUERY
A query text to be matched
-s SINCE, --since SINCE
A lower bound date (UTC) to restrict search. Default is 7 days before --until. Used only by Snscrape.
-u UNTIL, --until UNTIL
An upper bound date (not included) to restrict search. Default is today. Tweepy has a 7 day hard limit, while Snscrape has no such limit.
-g GEO, --geo GEO Return only tweets by users from given geolocation. It must be a location name (e.g. 'Milan') if using Snscrape or a string of the form 'latitude,longitude' if using Tweepy.
-r RADIUS, --radius RADIUS
Must be used together with --geo. Return only tweets by users within a given radius from the selected location. It must be either in 'mi' or 'km' (e.g. '15km')
-l LANG, --lang LANG Restrict language of the tweets retrieved. Must be an ISO 639-1 code (e.g. en, it, etc.). Default is no language restriction. Used only by Tweepy.
--user USERNAME Restrict search to tweets from specified username.
--result_type {recent,popular,mixed}
Type of tweets to retrieve. Can be either 'recent', 'popular' or 'mixed'. Default is 'mixed'. Used only by Tweepy.
--max_tweets MAX_TWEETS
The maximum number of tweets to be retrieved. Default is 10. In the case of Tweepy, if greater API rate limit is reached, the program waits for 15 minutes before trying again.
--tweepy Use Tweepy instead of the default Snscrape to download tweets.
--credentials CREDENTIALS
Path to JSON file containing Tweepy credentials. See examples/credentials.json to see how the file should be formatted.
--quiet No stdout output when downloading or analyzing tweets. Default is verbose.
foo@bar:~$ sentiment analyze ./results.csv --analyzer="vader" -q "us elections" --since="2020-08-01" --until="2020-11-30" --geo="New York" --radius="100km" -l "en" --max_tweets=100
from bsi_sentiment.twitter import search_tweets_sn
tweets = search_tweets_sn(
q="us elections",
since="2020-08-01",
until="2020-11-30",
near="New York",
radius="100km",
lang="en",
