How to append search keyword to twitter json data?


I am doing twitter streaming data by kafka. I managed to stream the data and consume the twitter json. But now how do i create a pyspark dataframe containing the twitter data and the search keyword?

Below is how i write the kafka producer

I managed to create the dataframe of what data i want from the twitter object. But i don't know how to get the search keyword.

class StdOutListener(StreamListener):
def __init__(self, producer):
    self.producer_obj = producer

#on_status is activated whenever a tweet has been heard
def on_data(self, data):
    try:
        self.producer_obj.send("twitterstreamingdata", data.encode('utf-8'))
        print(data)
        return True
    except BaseException as e:
        print("Error on_data: %s" % str(e))
    return True

# When an error occurs
def on_error(self, status):
    print (status)
    return True

# When reach the rate limit
def on_limit(self, track):
    # Print rate limiting error
    print("Rate limited, continuing")
    # Continue mining tweets
    return True

# When timed out
def on_timeout(self):
    # Print timeout message
    print(sys.stderr, 'Timeout...')
    # Wait 10 seconds
    time.sleep(120)
    return True  # To continue listening

def on_disconnect(self, notice):
    #Called when twitter sends a disconnect notice
    return


if __name__ == '__main__':

spark = SparkSession \
    .builder \
    .appName("Kafka Producer Application") \
    .getOrCreate()

#This is the initialization of Kafka producer
producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers='xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9092')

#This handles twitter auth and the conn to twitter streaming API
auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
stream = Stream(auth, StdOutListener(producer))

print("Kafka Producer Application: ")

WORDS = input("Enter any words: ")
print ("Is this what you just said?", WORDS)
word = [u for u in WORDS.split(',')]
#This line filter twitter stream to capture data by keywords
stream.filter(track=word)

Solution

  • One way to resolve your problem it's changing StdOutListener class constructor to receive "keyword" parameter and add "keyword" to JSON in "on_data" function to send to Kafka

    import json
    import sys
    import time
    
    from kafka import KafkaProducer
    from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
    from tweepy import StreamListener, Stream, OAuthHandler
    
    
    class StdOutListener(StreamListener):
    
        def __init__(self, producer: KafkaProducer = None, keyword=None):
            super(StreamListener, self).__init__()
            self.producer = producer
            self.keyword = keyword
    
        # on_status is activated whenever a tweet has been heard
        def on_data(self, data):
            try:
                data = json.loads(data)
                data['keyword'] = self.keyword
                data = json.dumps(data)
                self.producer.send("twitterstreamingdata", data.encode('utf-8'))
                return True
            except BaseException as e:
                print("Error on_data: %s" % str(e))
            return True
    
        # When an error occurs
        def on_error(self, status):
            print(status)
            return True
    
        # When reach the rate limit
        def on_limit(self, track):
            # Print rate limiting error
            print("Rate limited, continuing")
            # Continue mining tweets
            return True
    
        # When timed out
        def on_timeout(self):
            # Print timeout message
            print(sys.stderr, 'Timeout...')
            # Wait 10 seconds
            time.sleep(120)
            return True  # To continue listening
    
        def on_disconnect(self, notice):
            # Called when twitter sends a disconnect notice
            return
    
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        CONSUMER_KEY = 'YOUR CONSUMER KEY'
        CONSUMER_SECRET = 'YOUR CONSUMER SECRET'
        ACCESS_TOKEN = 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN'
        ACCESS_SECRET = 'YOUR ACCESS SECRET'
    
        print("Kafka Producer Application: ")
        words = input("Enter any words: ")
        print("Is this what you just said?", words)
        word = [u for u in words.split(',')]
    
        spark = SparkSession \
            .builder \
            .appName("Kafka Producer Application") \
            .getOrCreate()
    
        # This is the initialization of Kafka producer
        kafka_producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers='35.240.157.219:9092')
        # This handles twitter auth and the conn to twitter streaming API
        auth = OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
        auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_SECRET)
        stream = Stream(auth, StdOutListener(producer=kafka_producer, keyword=word))
        stream.filter(track=word)
    

    Hope it helps you!
