Looks great! How do you recognise book mentions? I've seen tweets on your site without any link or other machine readable indication of a book.

Also, can you elaborate on which twitter apis you use? Or is it firehose?

I used the regular twitter api using tweepy and trained NLP classifier to identify book mentions in tweets.

This is cool. How do you recognize tweets with book titles in them ?

I trained an NLP classifier with data from twitter threads to recognize book mentions in tweets
