twiph draws fancy interactive graphs representation of Twitter connections (aka friends) given a list of names/surnames. It could be uselful to spot and analyze social connections whithin an arbitrary list of people.

You need to create your own app: https://apps.twitter.com/app/new

Then an Access Token must be created https://apps.twitter.com/app/<app-id>/keys

These are the output for the 100 younger italian parliamentarians grouped by political parties:

Once retrieved auth credentils and created a cfg file (a sample is provided in conf/sample.cfg):

export CFGP_FILE_PATH=./conf/mine.cfg;
twiph -csv list.csv

Tests need Twitter api credentials. You can specify them by command line or in configuration file:

export CFGP_FILE_PATH=./conf/test.cfg; go test

Graphs with nodes >= ~100 start to be very heavy (cpu intensive) to display.

The amazing D3.js is used to create graphs http://d3js.org/

Political data has been retrieved by Openpolis REST APIs http://api3.openpolis.it/
