MatlabでTwitterのAPIを使う
MatlabでTwitter APIを使ってデータを取得する方法をまとめました。
Twitterのアカウントを持っていない場合は、まずアカウントを作ります。それから、Twitter Platformにアクセスして、APIを使うために必要なキー4種類を取得します。このサイトのお世話になりました。
次に、File ExchangeからtwittyとJSON Parserをダウンロードします。このtwittyがスグレモノです。parse_json.mはtwittyのファイル群と同じフォルダに置いておきましょう。
で、Matlabを起動して、twitty.mの説明通りに設定します。まずは、
>> tw = twitty()
と入力します。何か警告が出るかもしれませんが、続けて
>> tw.saveCredentials()
と入力。すると下のようなGUIが登場するので、先ほど取得したキーをコピペします。このキーの入力は1回限りです (Matlabを再起動しても再び入力する必要はない)。
これで準備完了です！試しに、@MATLABのツイートを取得してみましょう。
>> S = tw.userTimeline('screen_name', 'matlab')
結果は下のようになって、S{1}{インデックス}.textにツイートの内容が格納されます。
>> S
S =
{1x20 cell}
>> S{1}{1}
