Depends on: twitter-python To use this script: 1. Set up Twitter authentication, as described below 2. Subscribe to the stream that will receive Twitter updates (default stream: twitter) 3. Test the script by running it manually, like this: /usr/local/share/humbug/demos/twitter-search-bot --search="@nprnews,quantum physics" 4. Configure a crontab entry for this script. A sample crontab entry that will process tweets every 5 minutes is: */5 * * * * /usr/local/share/humbug/demos/twitter-search-bot --search="@nprnews,quantum physics" == Setting up Twitter authentications == Run this on a personal or trusted machine, because your API key is visible to local users through the command line or config file.
