Notes
-
No Signals Required: Unlike other apps, the social app doesn't need signals as comments are imported from external APIs.
-
Celery Tasks: Tasks for scraping and analysis should be implemented as Celery tasks for async processing.
-
Data Import: Comments should be imported via management commands or Celery tasks from social media APIs.
-
AI Analysis: Sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, topic modeling, and entity recognition should be handled by the AI Engine.
-
Performance: For large datasets, consider implementing database indexing and query optimization.
-
Security: Ensure proper authentication and authorization for all views and API endpoints.
Conclusion
The Social Media app is now fully implemented with a complete, professional UI that provides comprehensive monitoring and analysis of social media comments across multiple platforms. The implementation follows Django best practices and integrates seamlessly with the PX360 system architecture.
