	"API secret key" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
	"Access token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
	"Access token secret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Generating a plot:

---

cd src
python main.py "seach_term" [-n number_of_tweets]

Make sure you are in the src folder. Run main.py, for example python main.py "#Covid" -n 500. An output file plot.html will be generated in the output folder. Hovering on the points shows you the tweet. The size of the points will be proportional to the number of the likes on the tweet.
