A data source is an individual source origin of documents within Squirro. It can be anything from a stream that constantly refreshes (e.g. Twitter) to a set of uploaded data.
To review currently installed data sources, click on Settings on the top menu bar and select Data Sources from the dropdown menu.
Click on the Add data sources button. You will be offered a number of options:
To import an RSS/Atom feed, click on the Feed button. This will allow you to specify an RSS feed in the next step, which Squirro will subscribe to and put its results into the index.
To follow a particular Twitter user and append every tweet to the index, click on Follow @twitter.
Squirro can monitor news outlets. Click on News to subscribe to a news source. Select the appropriate market, enter a search term, then save your search expression. News alerts will appear in your Squirro index as they appear.
To monitor multiple media sources, click on Topic. On the next screen, enter your search expression and click Search.
Squirro will then detect occurrences of this search term in multiple media sources. Use the Source Selection Screen to identify which sources you would like to append to your Squirro sources.
Using the Python SDK, you can upload content to your Squirro instance. Please refer to the documentation of the Python SDK for further information.
To upload a CSV or Excel document, click on CSV/Excel. In addition we offer a cli agent that can load data automatically from CSV and Excel files.
The following data sources are not available via the Web User Interface, but are invoked via the command line and can be deployed as agent to both Windows and Linux/Unix servers. |
