title: How to get a simple sample from publilc Twitter streaming API?
body: <p>I'd like to make a small dump of tweets for research purposes, but many tools seem to be overshooting my needs. The only requirement is to have tweets containing specific words on a local machine.</p>
  
  <p>As for Python implementations, <a href="https://github.com/bear/python-twitter" rel="nofollow"><code>python-twitter</code></a> has <code>twitter-stream-sample</code> tool, but it dumps only the message itself without meta data. This and other packages, like <code>tweethon</code>, also lack documentation and examples on working with the streaming API.</p>
  
  <p>The language isn't important, and command line tools would also be very welcomed.</p>
