Detecting trends from Twitter requires listening to real-time Twitter APIs and processing Tweets on the fly. And while trend detection can be complex work, to categorize trends, Tweet themes and topics must also be identified—another potentially complex endeavor as it involves integrating with NER (Named Entity Recognition) / NLP (Natural Language Processing) services.

The Twitter API Toolkit for Google Cloud: Filtered Stream solves these challenges and supports the developer with a trend detection framework that can be installed on Google Cloud in 60 minutes or less.
