; SoMe Tools platform ini/config file
; 
; Step 1: In the same directory as "tweet_collector.py", create a plain text file named 
; "collection.terms" and put one keyterm per line.
;
; Step 2: File >> Save as >> save this file as "platform.ini" - KEEP THE ORIGINAL AS BACKUP
;
; Step 3: Confirm "platform.ini" is in the same directory as "tweet_collector.py"
;
; Step 4: Visit: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
;
; Step 5: Login with your Twitter account
;
; Step 6: You'll be queries to "create an application" - you need to do this to obtain
; "oauth" credentials.  The name, description, and website are filler - feel free to use
; whatever you like.  Leave "callback URL" blank.  Submit.
; 
; Step 7: Change the values below: [collection] needs a name value, [files] require directory
; path values and file names (change these!), and [oauth] requires the values you obtained 
; from the Twitter dev site

[collection]
name:collectionname

; note: is there a way to take the file name from the collection name?  so
; %(name)s_tweets_out.txt

[files]
tweets_file_path:./tweets/
; the date format is used to build the tweets out file name as well as indicate
; when the file should rool over. The fastest possible roll over (not reccomended)
; is seconds and is specified with %Y%m%d-%H%M%S. For testing use minutes (%Y%m%d-%H%M)
; or hours (%Y%m%d-%H), but for collection use hours or days (%Y%m%d)
tweets_file_date_frmt:%Y%m%d-%H
tweets_file:tweets_out.json
; the final constructed file name will be something like: ./tweets/20130822-1030tweets_out.json

terms_file:./collection.terms
log_dir:./logs/
log_config_file:./logging.conf
