== Building a Dataset using the Twitter API ==
== Building a Dataset using the Twitter API ==

In this project, we will explore a few ways to gather data using the Twitter API. Once we've done that done, we will extend this to code to create our own datasets of tweets that we might be able to use to ask and answer questions in the final session.

=== Goals ===

* Get set up to build datasets with the Twitter API
* Have fun collecting different types of tweets using a variety of ways to search
* Pratice reading and extending other people's code
* Create a few collections of Tweets you can do research with in the final section!
