tinderdata

A very simple package to get insight on your Tinder usage.

Install

This code is compatible with Python 3.6+. If for some reason you have a need for it, you can simply install it in your virtual enrivonment with:

pip install tinderdata

Usage

This utility requires that you export your data from the Tinder platform, as described here. You should obtain a single tinderdata.json file, which is the input required for this script.

With this package installed in the activated enrivonment, it can be called through python -m tinderdata or through a newly created tinderdata command.

Detailed usage goes as follows:

Usage: tinderdata [OPTIONS] [DATA_PATH]

  Get insight on your Tinder usage.

Arguments:
  [DATA_PATH]  Location, relative or absolute, of the exported JSON file with
               your user data.


Options:
  --show-figures / --no-show-figures
                                  Whether or not to show figures when plotting
                                  insights.  [default: False]

  --save-figures / --no-save-figures
                                  Whether or not to save figures when plotting
                                  insights.  [default: False]

  --log-level TEXT                The base console logging level. Can be
                                  'debug', 'info', 'warning' and 'error'.
                                  [default: info]

  --install-completion            Install completion for the current shell.
  --show-completion               Show completion for the current shell, to
                                  copy it or customize the installation.

  --help                          Show this message and exit.

An example command is then:

python -m tinderdata path_to_tinderdata.json --save-figures --log-level debug

The script print out a number of insight statements, and finally the text you should paste to get a Sankey diagram. It will then create a plots folder and populate it with visuals.

You can otherwise import the high-level object from the package, and use at your convenience:

from tinderdata import TinderData

tinder = TinderData("path/to/tinderdata.json")
tinder.output_sankey_string()
tinder.plot_messages_loyalty(showfig=True, savefig=False)
