Twitter4R 0.1.0 Released

Written on 11:55:00 PM by S. Potter

This weekend I had a couple of hours to work on Twitter4R (finally). Today (Sunday) saw the release of Twitter4R 0.1.0 on Rubyforge as a Gem. It may take the Rubyforge gem mirrors a few hours to copy it over, but by Monday morning (US time) you should be able to do the following: $ sudo gem install twitter4r $ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'twitter' => true irb(main):002:0> client = Twitter::Client.new :login => 'screen_name', :password => 'password' => # irb(main):003:0> statuses = client.public_timeline => [#, ...] irb(main):004:0> statuses.each do |status| irb(main):005:1* puts status.text, status.user.screen_name irb(main):006:1> end the puts output would go here.... irb(main):007:0> client.update 'Pure Ruby API for Twitter: http://twitter4r.rubyforge.org' => nil It supports utf8 strings so this should not be a worry when querying the public timeline! See Twitter4R Rubyforge Website for more details or the Twitter4R Project Blog. Enjoy!
