Search data online with processing

in General Discussion • Other • 6 months ago

Hello guys,

this is my first post here so not sure if am posting in the right place.

I am really basic in Processing but I am trying to do an little application similar to this one: https://vimeo.com/42368993
Basically what I need is a script that search online name&surname and give back some results related to Social Network (eg: since how long this person joined facebook; etc) - I will need these to print it out or use in a data visualization animation.

If this is unclear or you need further information drop me a line:)

Hope any of you can help me, would really be appreciated!

Thanks.
Jo

" not sure if am posting in the right place"
Programming Questions is for questions about code you show. So I moved the topic here.

There are lot of threads similar to your (some with code!). Either you use some library to access your social network (like Twitter4j), or you use the official Web API (you need a developer key). In this case, people usually just loadStrings() to get online data.
