Twitter streaming analytics - step-by-step
Hi guys,
I wanted to setup a simple stream analytics stream that I can capture (OutPut) in PowerBI.
There are instructions on how to set parts of it up, but not a complete end-to-end tutorial.
Does this require any type of coding in VS?
Thanks for your time and advice :).
Solved! Go to Solution.

Unfortunately I haven't found a steb by step for no coders ( I don't know Json or even use VS except SSDT )..
I had played around and searching for a couple of days to make work. I am sure this is not the best solution or even correct ( at least it works ) as also using the best avaliable azure resources for the data workflow.
But at least for a no coder like me it was the only option I manage to make it work and seemed easier to follow.
I am planning to write an analytical blog post but until I found some time and optimize the set up, this is a summary of what I did.
I used Azure Logic apps to send tweets to an event hub and then used an Stream Analytics job to read from event hub and send them to PowerBI.
Create a Logic app and use the default twitter connector as trigger ( plus the neccessary resource group, app plan etc. )

This link also has other link on how to create the twitter app in Twitter Dev
Create an event hub

I didn't use VS since I only add endpoints
Deploy the event hub connector from Github
https://github.com/logicappsio/EventHubAPI
Add Twitter & EventHubAPI to Logic app workflow
Set up Stream Analytics Job

A quick post that has all combined and unfortunately I found it after tried many other things
Hope it can help you start from somewhere.
I am also hoping many have designed it better and easier..Looking forward to their opinion
