getTopNAttractions: getTopNAttractions

In AyrtonRua/group1_project: Package touristR (providing tourist friendly interactive map)

Description

Provide a dataframe containing the data about the top N attractions for a certain city requested by the user, combining hot spot search from Tripadvisor and obtaining relevant data from Twitter (e.g. sentiments about a certain place).

Usage

getTopNAttractions(city, n)

Arguments

city	A character vector of maximum length 1 (city requested)
n	A positive integer number (number of top spots to get for the requested city)

Details

The function automatically obtains the most relevant places for the selected city based on a search on Tripdadvisor, then queries Twitter about each hot spot (e.g. monument).
Afterwards it runs a sentiment analysis on those selected N top attractions, and also measures the popularity of the place (using the count of the number of tweets mentioning the #place).

The function returns as a result a dataframe containing all the relevant information about the top spots in that city combining in that sense also live reviews from Twitter users, which can then be plotted interactively on a Shiny map as well run_Shiny.

Value

A dataframe containing all results fetched from Tripadvisor and Twitter regarding the top attractions in the chosen city (e.g. popularity level).
