10.4.2.7 Insight for Twitter

This service provides sentiment and other enrichments for multiple languages, based on deep natural language

processing algorithms from IBM Social Media Analytics. Real-time processing of Twitter data streams is fully

supported; configurable through a rich set of query parameters and keywords. Insights for Twitter includes

RESTful APIs that allow you to customize your searches and returns Tweets and enrichments in JSON format.

Features

• Twitter data: Search Twitter content from the Twitter Decahose (10% random sample of Tweets) and

PowerTrack stream (100% access to Tweets). The content store is frequently refreshed and indexed,

making searches dynamic and fast.

• Enrichments: Get advanced enrichments based on real-time analysis of the Twitter data, like author

with Gender and Permanent Location (defined by country, state, and city) and Sentiment (e.g., positive,

negative, ambivalent, or neutral for Tweets in English, German, French, and Spanish).

• PowerTrack: Create, edit, aggregate, or remove rules and tracks to customize your connection to the

content store and optimize the performance of your apps.

ElephantSQL is a PostgreSQL database hosting service, offering databases ranging from shared servers for

smaller projects and proof of concepts, up to enterprise grade multi server setups.

10.4.2.9 Streaming Analytics

Streaming Analytics is powered by IBM Streams, an advanced analytic platform that you can use to ingest,

analyze, monitor, and correlate data as it arrives from real-time data sources. The Streaming Analytics service

gives you the ability to deploy Streams applications to run in the Bluemix cloud. This service also provides

monitoring for all the jobs which are running on your stream instance. There are two ways that you can use your

Streaming Analytics instance:

• Interactively – through the Streaming Analytics console

• Programmatically – through the Streaming Analytics REST API

A common use case is when you have a set of devices producing information in real-time that you need to

analyze. There is an IoT service to collect the data from the devices which can be used in combination with

Streaming analytics.
