capsap/norm-tribute

This is a tribute page to the late comedian Norm Macdonald.

It's pulling tweets from twitter using the twitter API using Express and React.

Update

Twitter has updated it's API and the search endpoint that I was using is now a paid feature

I wonder how tricky it would be to scrape this info? Maybe a future project idea

Tech

This is a simple express app serving a react app, and hosting a route to fetch tweets from twitter

Challenges

Due to CORS, the express server is where the app is being served from and where the request to twitter is being made.

norm-tribute's Issues

styling header / landing component to look like design

as in pic

bug: tweets don't show

so error that we're getting is:

key points are:
detail: "When authenticating requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, you must use keys and tokens from a Twitter developer App that is attached to a Project. You can create a project via the developer portal."
​
reason: "client-not-enrolled"

I was using a simple bearer token previously.
