Twitter-Lists-SNA-EgoNetworks

Python scripts for analysing social networks on Twitter through Ego Networks of accounts on lists or searched by keywords

Description

There are three scripts:

• twitter-lists-egonetworks.py: ask you for a Twitter username, from which you can select multiple lists. The script will then analyse the connections (followers/following) among all the accounts in the lists, and save the results as a .gexf file.
• twitter-search-egonetworks.py: indicate the keywords to be searched in the keyword variable. The script will then search for users on Twitter with those keywords and then analyse the connections (followers/following) among all the accounts, and save the results as a .gexf file.
• data_anonymization.py: loads a .gexf file and save an anonymized version.
