node-twitter aims to provide a complete, asynchronous client library for the Twitter API, including the REST, search and streaming endpoints. It was inspired by, and uses some code from, @technoweenie's twitter-node.
You can install node-twitter and its dependencies with npm: npm install twitter.
- node v0.6+
- node-oauth
- cookies
It's early days for node-twitter, so I'm going to assume a fair amount of knowledge for the moment. Better documentation to come as we head towards a stable release.
var util = require('util'),
twitter = require('twitter');
var twit = new twitter({
consumer_key: 'STATE YOUR NAME',
consumer_secret: 'STATE YOUR NAME',
access_token_key: 'STATE YOUR NAME',
access_token_secret: 'STATE YOUR NAME'
});
The format of this depends somewhat on how your routing works, but it should be clear enough.
app.get('/', twit.gatekeeper('/login'), routes.index);
app.get('/login', routes.login);
app.get('/twauth', twit.login());
You'll need to create the routes for index & login. On the login page, you'll want a link like:
<a href="/twauth">Log in with Twitter</a>
The convenience APIs aren't finished, but you can get started with the basics:
twit.get('/statuses/show/27593302936.json', {include_entities:true}, function(data) {
console.log(util.inspect(data));
});
Note that all functions may be chained:
twit
.verifyCredentials(function(data) {
console.log(util.inspect(data));
})
.updateStatus('Test tweet from node-twitter/' + twitter.VERSION,
function(data) {
console.log(util.inspect(data));
}
);
twit.search('nodejs OR #node', function(data) {
console.log(util.inspect(data));
});
The stream() callback receives a Stream-like EventEmitter:
twit.stream('statuses/sample', function(stream) {
stream.on('data', function(data) {
console.log(util.inspect(data));
});
});
node-twitter also supports user, filter and site streams:
twit.stream('user', {track:'nodejs'}, function(stream) {
stream.on('data', function(data) {
console.log(util.inspect(data));
});
// Disconnect stream after five seconds
setTimeout(stream.destroy, 5000);
});
new added events
this library now supports new added events which you can listen on.
