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!
