Python-Programming-Capstone-Project

Project-Goals

• Working with APIs to get and assess data
• Store information in a Database (MySQL)

Analyzing the tone of tweets

This project uses the tweepy module to get tweets and the Tone Analyzer from IBMs watson module to analyze the tone of the tweets

API-Documentation

• IBM Cloud Creating Resources
• IBM Tone Analyzer
• Tweepy

You need to create the cloud resource and use the credentials that are generated upon creation (API key and endpoint URL) first, on your IBM cloud account

If you just generate an API key and use that in your script, without creating the resource, you'll get a 403: Forbidden error
