In order to reproduce this scenario, you require write-access to a Cosmos DB collection (if not already, refer to Create a Cosmos DB database account). You will need to enter your collection's configuration details into config.py (refer to link for further details).

You also need to register the script as a new application at http://apps.twitter.com/. After choosing a name and application for your app, you will be provided with a consumer key, consumer secret, access token and access token secret - which need to be filled into config.py to provide the app programmatic access to Twitter.

We use Tweepy's Python-based client to access Twitter's service. If not already installed, pip install tweepy==3.3.0. If you haven't already installed Cosmos DB's Python client, pip install pyDocumentDB.
