```
%pip install llama-index-readers-twitter
```

```
import logging
import sys


logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.INFO)
logging.getLogger().addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout))
```

If you’re opening this Notebook on colab, you will probably need to install LlamaIndex 🦙.

```
!pip install llama-index
```

```
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex
from llama_index.readers.twitter import TwitterTweetReader
from IPython.display import Markdown, display
import os
```

```
# create an app in https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps
BEARER_TOKEN = "<bearer_token>"
```

```
# create reader, specify twitter handles
reader = TwitterTweetReader(BEARER_TOKEN)
documents = reader.load_data(["@twitter_handle1"])
```

```
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
```

```
# set Logging to DEBUG for more detailed outputs
query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
response = query_engine.query("<query_text>")
```

```
display(Markdown(f"<b>{response}</b>"))
```
