Week 11

Analyze your online activity and share this data with the rest of the class.

Firebase

Go to Firebase

Set up your personal firebase using the following naming convention

[your-github-id]-bigdata-hci.firebaseIO.com

for example

doubleshow-bigdata-hci.firebaseIO.com

Zapier

Use Zapier to connect Trigger associated with your online accounts with a Firebase Action to create a child record under

[your-github-id]-bigdata-hci.firebaseIO.com/events

The online accounts include gmail, facebook, and anything you use regularly.

For example, each time you receive a new email to your gmail account, you want to write the “date” to your Firebase. On Zapier’s interface, you should see something like this:

After a few gmails events are detected, you want your Firebase control panel to look like this

Also, the data should be accessible as .JSON

http://doubleshow-bigdata-hci.firebaseIO.com/events.json

Note that you only want to write the timestamp (i.e., date). You don’t want to share other private information contained in your email.
