A thin, woefully inadequate wrapper around twitter4j that currently only supports the stream api with keywords. It will only work under JRuby.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'twitter4j4r'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install twitter4j4r
The api is inspired by tweetstream:
@client = Twitter4j4r::Client.new(:consumer_key => 'ABC123',
:consumer_secret => 'ABC234',
:access_token => 'ABC345',
:access_secret => 'ABC456')
@client.on_exception do |exception|
puts "An error occurred - #{exception.message}"
end
@client.track('bieber') do |tweet|
puts "#{tweet.user.screen_name} says #{tweet.text}"
end
# some time later
@client.stop
Blocks passed to track and on_exception can accept optionally accept
a second argument that will be the client instance (similar to tweetstream):
@client.track('bieber') do |tweet, client|
if tweet.text =~ /marry me/
puts "grody"
client.stop
else
puts "#{tweet.user.screen_name} says #{tweet.text}"
end
end
Because tweetstream uses EventMachine, and EM doesn't support TLS under JRuby, so is unusable.
Thanks to Marek Jelen for the inspiration.
Yes! But I was a hair away from naming it twitter4j4r4u-and-me, so take
what you're given.
