I have to try this:

In [13]:

from TwitterAPI import TwitterAPI

# I'm keeping my keys and secrets in a secret file.
from secret_twitter import consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, access_token_secret
api = TwitterAPI(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, access_token_secret)

This function will draw a tweet in a reasonably nice way on a slide. There’s a block each for the profile picture, the text of the tweet, and the name of the user.

In [16]:

def draw_tweet(Base, item, pos):
    y = 40 + (pos % 4) * 120

    image = Base.Shapes.AddPicture(
        # To get the larger resolution image, just remove _normal from the URL
        item['user']['profile_image_url'].replace('_normal', ''),
        LinkToFile=True,
        SaveWithDocument=False,
        Left=20, Top=y,
        Width=100, Height=100)

    try:
        status = item['text'].encode('cp1252')
    except UnicodeEncodeError:
        status = item['text']
    text = Base.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 130, y, 460, 100)
    text.Fill.ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorText1
    text.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = +0.95
    text.Line.Visible = msoFalse
    text.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = status
    text.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Color.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorText1
    text.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignLeft

    user = Base.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 600, y, 100, 100)
    user.Fill.ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorAccent6
    user.Line.Visible = False
    user.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = '@' + item['user']['screen_name']

Let’s track requests for specific words, and see what we get.

In [17]:

Base = Presentation.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
api.request('statuses/filter', {'track': 'beer'})

for pos, item in enumerate(api.get_iterator()):
    draw_tweet(Base, item, pos)
    if pos > 10:
        break
