Guest what? We have all the pieces we need now to assemble the code into a single script. 

debugging tips: in the instructions below we're going to slowly build up a script. do each line at a time and make sure it works, print out the results as you go.

script file

running the script file. 

start w api call code from above

take the json_string and convert it to a native data object as you did in task 4

take that data object and extract the 'results' item (data['results']). iterate over each item in the results list using a for loop, just like you did in task 3. 

for each result, pull out some specific items of iterest. for example, within the for loop, if i was interested in the username of the person sending the tweet, i would get access that item with the code

result[from_user'].

the easiest way to do this is by storing it in a variable:

from_user = result['from_user']

inside your for-loop, do this for however many other items interest you. for each item, save it in a variable, and start off by just printing out that variable name. 

puts from_user (ruby)

print from_user (python)

now we will use some string formatting. instead of printing out raw data objects, let's make a nice sentence that is more appropriate for human consumption. Both Ruby and Python have ways to construct format strings. A format string is a string with variables dynamically inserted into the string at runtime. Here is an example in both languages:

Python:

name = "Superman"

occupation = "superhero"

print "my name is %s and my occupation is %s" % (name, occupation)

output: "my name is Superman and my occupation is superhero."

Ruby:

name = "Cat woman"

occupation = "supervillain"

puts "my name is #{name} and my occupation is #{occupation}."

output: "my name is Cat Woman and my occupation is supervillain."
