Rubiscape provides the functionality to create a dataset using Twitter data. On this data, you can perform Twitter Sentiment Analysis using the text processing algorithms provided in Text Analytics. The sentiment analysis helps to determine the tone (Neutral, Positive, Negative) of the tweet and thereby gives beneficial insights about market trends and competitors' policies. This, in turn, helps the decision-makers to create marketing strategies. To perform Twitter Sentiment Analysis, Rubiscape uses Tweepy, a Python library designed to access the Twitter API. A request to the Twitter API returns the Tweet fields (Features), which can then be analysed using Text Analytics.

    Notes

    To obtain the API Key, API Secret, Access Token, and Access Secret, you need to create a Twitter Developer Account. Enabling the "Disable Cache" option allows you to create a dataset without generating a dataset cache. When you select to "Disable Cache", the dashboard will not offer the "Enable Direct Query" option. For more information, please refer to the "Enable Direct Query" document.
