The official code companion repository for the book 'Mining the Social Web, 2nd Edition' (O'Reilly, 2013), containing Jupyter notebook examples for mining social media data. It has been superseded by the 3rd Edition repository, which is ported to Python 3 with a Docker-based setup.

Use cases

• learn to mine twitter data with python
• analyze social media data for a data science course
• scrape and analyze facebook and linkedin data
• learn natural language processing on social web content
• find example notebooks for social network analysis
• follow a book tutorial on web mining

When to choose

• you are specifically following the 2nd edition of the book
• you need the original Python 2 example code for reference

When to avoid

• you want up-to-date, maintained code - use the 3rd edition repository instead
• you need Python 3 support
• you want current social media API examples, since many APIs used here have changed
