If anyone knows how to get twitter searches and posts into Playmaker, I would love to hear it.

Hi,

 What do you mean? I have a twitter account dedicated to PlayMaker.


Or do you mean inside your project as a feature to expose to your players?

Stan's asset has support for twitter and PlayMaker.

Bye,

 Jean

I want to pull a search on twitter, and display it within Unity. Either as an actual string or a trigger to make something happen. For example, anytime someone uses the word "love" in a tweet, I want X to happen in Unity.

This is something I used to be able to do when Twitter was easily searchable with an XML feed, but they changed their API.

Hi,

 That's something you'll need to check with twitter asset's provider like Stan. I haven't worked with twitter api deeply enough to be of any help here. Sorry :)

Bye,

On twitter api website, it says you can search tweets by using a json query ( u have to build it) You should be able to build a json query, wwwpost, get result as another json.. You have to have a twitter dev account.. Or user need to open account..

Search Get search/tweets api on google..

yea, i went through that and setup a dev account. unfortunately, i think it's over my head. It gives me this stuff (attached).

side note- i do know how to use datamaker to parse out xml/json info. I am doing that for weather underground. but with weather underground, you just put your api key in the url.

I tried to yea. I just couldn't figure it fully out. I put in all four of my keys into the component, but wasn't sure where to go from there in playmaker.

I was able to understand and convert the code to playmaker.

This is an alpha. Let me know if it works on your side (it works for me but only tested GET as that is all i need for my project) so that i can post on ecosystem. In theory it should work with everything from https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public - all GET and POST query and works inside editor.

How to make a query:

'(Parameters=Value)'
For example: (q=Ufo)(count=100)(result_type=popular)
with
setTwitterUrl = https://api.twitter.com/1.1/
setTwitterUrlType = search/tweets.json

will produce the Raw Json data (then you need Datamaker)

Let me know thanks..


Will post on ecosystem a final version soon.

Hi,

 Nice, thanks for this. Haven't tested it, but I'll sure use that when I'll do.

Bye,
