We are happy to announce the public release of Gnip4j, a new Open Source project developed at Zauber and released under the ASFL 2.0.
Gnip4j is a Java library to access Twitter premium feeds.
For more than a year, we've been developing real-time interactive data visualizations, based on social media, gathered mainly from Twitter. We have developed projects for the World Cup, the Brazilian Elections, to track the uprisings in Middle East and more. So far, we always used Twitter Streaming API with granted access to the Gardenhose.
But the requirements of new projects and our ambition to create even more complex and accurate visualizations and real-time dashboards, made us start considering new data feeds. That's why we are now working with Gnip4j and using their premium feeds to take advantage of Twitter firehose to process 100% of tweets.
Our Gnip4j library is the result of our work using Gnip services and we are happy to contribute it as Open Source software, looking forward that other developers can use it and contribute back.
You can get involved by following the instructions here.
Please give us your feedback and feel free to contribute back.
