The Inspiration
The inspiration was a project given to us by the YellowPages team, we decided to try it. With an entire team of first time hackers, this was the first time we had done anything like this and this seemed like a fun and challenging start.
What it does
The bot reads tweets and then finds stores in Montreal that are related to the tweet
How we built it
We used the provided API from YellowPages, as well as an API for using Twitter
Challenges we ran into
One issue we ran into was properly reading the data after sending a request to the API server, after some tinkering we were able to figure out how to make it work and finished the project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Being able to tweet to others, as well as analyzing tweets
What we learned
Node.js, Using extrenal API's, Teamwork, Java Script.
What's next for Twitter YellowPages Bot
Work on getting location to work properly, as in being able to do it for the users location.
NOTE
To run this yourself, you will need to install the npm twitter API To do so, in your terminal, with npm installed type "npm install twitter"
