Title: Twitter Api
Post by: dudebxl on March 22, 2016, 07:07:19 PM

Twitter Api

Action name: Twitter_Api
Can be used for GET or POST from twitter api.

You will get the raw Json data from Twitter (then Datamaker is recommended)

Setup:

• Get your OAuth keys from twitter dev account
  
• Build your query. You query is a single string that you can build dynamically (manually or from arraymaker or hashtables or any other option) - Query format is a broken into sections that are separated by () with parameter=value -- resulting in this: (Parameter=Value)
  For example: (q=Ufo)(count=100)(result_type=popular)
• Set the correct url to twitter api
• Set url extension needed for the query (depending on query type)
• Json raw data is returned as a string - If you get a message in the error section then something you setup is incorrect (always check OAuth first as it is extremely sensitive).

All the information for query building and url extension can be found at https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public

Any problems post here.

On ecosystem or https://snipt.net/dudebxl/

When using the api and you want to show text as ASCII characters, I recommend that you also use this action: CleanUtf8String (on ecosystem) to clean all non-ASCII characters.

The query is wrong..

Can you get it to work using the Ufo example?

Did you read the setup guide and https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public?
