An open-source social media analysis platform for peacebuilders.
Phoenix is a powerful, multi-tier platform that enables peacebuilders and analysts to monitor, analyze, and visualize social media data for conflict prevention and peacebuilding efforts.
Phoenix offers several components tailored to different users' needs, from peacebuilders to experienced software engineers. You can choose from three primary levels of interaction:
The Phoenix Platform is a full-stack web application providing a user-friendly interface to manage configurations, collect and process social media data, and visualize results. It is designed for peacebuilders and analysts (not deep in the code) who need a comprehensive toolset to monitor and analyze social media activity.
- Best for: A team of engineers that want to offer phoenix to multi users who need a full-featured, out-of-the-box solution.
- Setup complexity: Highest, but includes the richest features.
- Getting started: See the Platform Quick start section below.
Build Up also provides a hosted version of the platform. Learn more at Build Up Phoenix.
The PhiPhi API is a RESTful API designed for developers who want to manage configurations, collect data, and integrate Phoenix with other systems (such as visualization platforms). The API includes auto-generated documentation via a Swagger web interface that allows developers to explore and use the API endpoints.
- Best for: Developers wanting to manage multiple projects or integrate Phoenix with other systems.
- Setup complexity: Medium. Requires cloud deployment for practical use.
- Documentation: See the PhiPhi Readme for more information.
The PhiPhi Pipeline Jobs are a set of Python-based Prefect flows for developers who prefer to collect and process social media data locally. This component is ideal for developers working on a limited number of projects and is the easiest to set up.
- Best for: Developers who want get going quick, can manage their own data collection and processing locally.
- Setup complexity: Lowest, but requires developers organise configuration.
- Documentation: See the PhiPhi Pipeline Jobs Readme for setup instructions.
