A tool to figure out bots, fake accounts and false information on Twitter

I was experimenting with Twitter APIs a bit and then later decided to roll it out as a tool (BoffinBot) that can help you figure out false information being spread on Twitter, identify bot or fake accounts.

I was trying to analyze a few trending hashtags from Indian Twitter a few days ago. These hashtags were related to a nationwide protest happening in India at the moment.

Please take a look at this article that I wrote about it at https://medium.com/@arpitm19/a-tool-to-identify-bots-and-fake-accounts-on-twitter-a95256af0c8d

You can also use this tool, see the reports directly at https://www.boffinbot.com/twitter/analyze/report/?id=456789
