Python library for GNIP.
Project description
gnippy provides an easy way to access the Power Track stream provided by GNIP. You can also use gnippy to programatically add rules to your Power Track stream.
Installation:
pip install gnippy
Quickstart
Create a .gnippy file and place it in your home directory. It should contain the following:
[Credentials]
username = user@company.com
password = mypassword
[PowerTrack]
url = https://my.gnip.powertrack/url.json
Fire up the client:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
from gnippy import PowerTrackClient
# Define a callback
def callback(activity):
print activity
# Create the client
client = PowerTrackClient(callback)
client.connect()
# Wait for 2 minutes and then disconnect
time.sleep(120)
client.disconnect()
If you don’t want to create a config file or you want it put it in another location:
client = PowerTrackClient(callback, config_file_path="/etc/gnippy")
# OR
client = PowerTrackClient(callback, url="http://my.gnip.powertrack/url.json", auth=("uname", "pwd")) # overrides config files
PowerTrack Rules
If you want to add rules to your PowerTrack:
from gnippy import rules
from gnippy.errors import RuleAddFailedException
# Add a
try:
rules.add_rule('(Hello OR World OR "this is a test") AND lang:en', tag="MyRule") # The tag is optional
except RuleAddFailedException:
pass # uh oh
# OR ... add multiple rules at once
rule_list = []
rule_list.append(rules.build("Hello World", tag="asdf"))
rule_list.append(rules.build("Rule Without a Tag"))
try:
rules.add_rules(rule_list)
except RuleAddFailedException:
pass # uh oh
# OR ... manually pass in params - overrides any config files
rules.add_rule("My Rule String", tag="mytag", url="http://my.gnip.powertrack/url.json", auth=("uname", "pwd"))
