loklak is free software hosted on loklak.org which provides message search results from twitter in json format. loklak is a complete search engine back-end solution with a json api. Loklak’s API can be used to build twitter clones and client alike, one of them being loklak.net. One of the main features that’s pending in such a tool is the ease of tracking emojis and using it as a sentiment analyzer.If we are able to track the emoji and make a heatmap according to the country/area , we can easily identify the mood of the people around.This proposal focuses on building such a tool.
