We are looking for a python coder who is comfortable and has experience extracting data from Twitter using its API (e.g. Tweepy).
See this link for example and overview.

The end result will be a couple of Python programs which can be scheduled to run daily and pull in meta data from various Twitter usernames (which can be added or subtracted on the fly) . The output will be written to CSV files.
Main CSV: Each record should include: Date (Timestamp), Twitter Id, Twitter Username, Name, Number of Tweets, Followers, Following, Member of Lists
This will allow us to measure growth of audience by the day.
Ex:
11/18/15, NFL, National Football League, 4,503, 1,565,000, 345, 456
11/19/15, NFL, National Football League, 4,523, 1,565,500, 347, 458
We see that in one day the NFL Twitter account tweeted 20 times, gained 500 new followers, started following 2 new accounts, and was added to 2 lists.
The other data will be the meta data for individual tweets.
Detail CSV: Each record should include: Date/Time (Timestamp), Twitter Id, Twitter Username, Image used, Hashtags used, Hyperlink, Users mentioned, Retweets, Favorites.
This should suffice for bidding. More detail will be provided to the shortlisted. Thanks.
I have a great python experience and can do the project and deliver satisfactory results. I haven't used Tweepy before, but I have used the Twitter API natively so I have an idea how the program's work-flow should be. I have completed a few similar python projects on Freelancer (checkout my profile) where the program fetches data via an API, analyze and process them then writes output to a CSV file.
Also, I am quite communicative, clear and easy to deal with, have good English skills and you can usually reach me via Freelancer chat and have a response within an hour at max.
I have a few questions regarding the project, however; first of all, what version of python should the program run on ? I'd prefer py3.x but I'm okay with 2.7. Also, what exact information do you want to be fetched via Tweepy ? Kindly, hit me a message on chat so we can discuss the project details.
Looking forward to working with you.
Hi, I am a Computational Biologist. I have advanced skills in Python. I have done the same kind of jobs with biological databases using python and java.
Happy to help you with your python scripts.
Cheers,

I have used the twitter API before but to generate tweets rather than mining them in. Should take me a few hours to figure out how to get this going, and I'd like to gain the experience :) I work full time and can only work weekends and nights on this. Feel free to message me to discuss in more detail
Thanks,
Eugene
