This is a simple script that fetch the latest tweets from your timeline using the new 1.1 API.

Motivation

The new 1.1 Twitter API only works with oauth, so you cannot fetch the latest tweets wihout sending the authorization header.

This is a bad news for someone who wants to fetch the latests tweets using pure javascript, without backend. So, my solution to this problem was to create a simple script that fetch periodically the tweets and pipe the result to a file (that I will read later from my JS).

Configuration

First you need to create an app in dev.twitter.com

With the app created, only thing that you need to configure in the script are:

  • screen_name: your twitter username (e.g.: gianu).
  • tweet_count: the number of tweets you want to retrieve.
  • consumer_key: the consumer key provided by the app created in twitter.
  • consumer_secret: the consumer secret provided by the app created in twitter.
  • oauth_token: the auth_token provided by the app created in twitter.
  • oauth_secret: the auth_secret provided by the app created in twitter.
