Data Visualization

[mili jain]

I have a final year project on "Data Visualization of Social Networks".

Can someone please tell me where to fetch data from any social network, 

and what possibly could be a good way to carry out the visualizations?

Hey Mili,

There are APIs available to extract data. For extracting twitter data, you can refer to this:

https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api

Similarly for Facebook graph API you can refer here:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/overview

Note that there are limitations on the amount of data you can obtain from these APIs.

I had earlier written a post on sentiment analysis of twitter data in R (http://discerndata.blogspot.in/2014/11/sentiment-analysis-of-twitter-data.html). You can refer this to see how Twitter API can be used to obtain data.

For creating visualizations, there is a library in R called igraph using which you can create visuals depicting the node connections representing a social network.

Regards,

Ajit

Thanks for the reply Ajit. I'll refer to the links you mentioned.

Actually I'm planning to use web technologies(mostly Javascript D3, JSON, angularJS) to create visualizations so i'm looking for those kind of approaches.

Certainly I won't be using R language.
