Data costs money right? Large corporate companies buy data from dedicated agencies. It can be in the form of surveys or customer feedback questionnaire. But what if you want the very same data ‘for free’ . Yes, you heard that right.

Social media Data Analysis is a very popular methodology that many organizations and independent personalities/ celebrities use for various decision making.

In this article, we will be seeing on how to setup twitter analysis and carry out a short analysis using some NLP techniques on Pepsi.

Initial Setup

To get started, you will need to apply for a twitter developer account to get access to the twitter API.

I highly recommend to have a separate account and login via that to apply for the same. You can choose either an individual account or if you are working as part of a team, you could choose the team account.

In the next part, you will be asked to asked to specify the use case. Make it more specific for better chances of approval.

And finally make sure to read the Developer Agreement and Policy .

Once you confirm the application, usually it takes about 24 hours to get it approved.
