So you wanna learn more about about your Hinge habits? Look no further!
To request your data, follow the steps here on Hinge's site
If you do not have a background in programming and would like to plug your data and go, check out this web app!
If you're interested in running this python script yourself, continue reading.
Data is a funny thing, it's fun to see (and as a result, feel seen), and can also be easily misinterpreted. There's a lot of nuances into why people send likes, why people match, and why people may reject (or just never respond) to a like on Hinge. Everyone has their own preferences. Everyone's at a different point in their lives. It's difficult (and impossible!) to understand why other people do the things they do without asking them directly. Just a few things to keep in mind :)
ok you may proceed.
Before running, make sure you've got Python set up in your development environment.
# Option 1: Copy paste the contents of lib/analyze.py into a python file located in the same directory as your Hinge matches.json file
# Option 2: Cloning the repository
$ git clone git://github.com/emam97/tiktok.git
python analyze.py matches.json
Given your python file is analyze.py and the file you received from Hinge is matches.json in the directory
C:/User/em/hinge_data
$ C:/User/em/hinge_data> python analyze.py matches.json
