Peerindex is a lightweight command-line utility that interacts with the PeerIndex API to retrieve social influence metrics for a given Twitter username. PeerIndex, a now-defunct platform, quantified online authority, activity, and audience across social networks, similar to Klout scores.

The tool fetches data like overall PeerIndex score (0-10), topic-specific authorities, and network stats. Users needed a free API key from peerindex.net (service ended ~2014). It outputs JSON or human-readable formats.

Installation was via RubyGems: gem install peerindex. Configuration via ~/.peerindexrc or command-line flags. Example: peerindex username displays scores if key is set.

Despite discontinuation, source code remains on GitHub for historical study or local adaptation. Useful for data archival or understanding legacy social analytics tools. No longer fetches live data.

PeerIndex API discontinued in 2014; command returns errors or empty data. Requires Ruby & gem. Config in ~/.peerindexrc: key: yourkey. Rate-limited historically.

gem install peerindex or clone from GitHub: git clone git://github.com/peerindex/peerindex-cli.git
Requires Ruby 1.9+, json gem.
