Re: Tweetping, Twitter traffic in real time
#33How are they getting the data? Twitter's APIs seem so limited these days.
It struck me seeing this how rare it is now to see any kind of Twitter experiment. Complete 180 from a few years back.
There's so much potential information there, and some very neat things you can do with it. But for me at least, their new API policies completely turned me off of making cool things with it. Not that the API isn't still powerful.

Data come from the Twitter Streaming API https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis
Is the site getting the firehose stream though? How do you get that level of access?
They're probably using the 'sample' firehose, which is not protected and still serves a few tweets per second.

#38This is pretty awesome, but I would like to be able to dig in deeper. After looking at it for a couple minutes, there's really nothing more I can do.
I made a project that is similar - shows a bit more information except its only for the US and you need to search a specific word/hashtag. http://tweetpleth.herokuapp.com/

that looks like a lot more data than a few tweets per second though.

The free version gives access to 1% [1] of all tweets, which seems about right for this.
