gitter-badger/tweetfetch

Stand-alone version of Tweet Fetch module originally developed for 2014 State of the Union Address as part of Tweet Server, https://github.com/whitehouse/tweetserver.

Tweet Fetch

This module fetches tweets from Twitter via GET requests to the REST API documented here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/

Usage

Configure and test your GET request here:

admin/config/tweetfetch

Set up a cron job or a script to poll Twitter for new tweets like this:

drush tweetfetch-fetch
drush tff

New tweets will be stored like this:

sites/<default>/files/tweets/0.json
sites/<default>/files/tweets/1.json
sites/<default>/files/tweets/2.json
                              .    
                              .    
                              .    
sites/<default>/files/tweets/N.json

Hooks

hook_tweetfetch

Modules can implement hook_tweetfetch($filepath) to capture the path to new files
and react (e.g. queue for pushing up to CDN).

hook_tweetfetch_tweet_alter(&$tweet, &$op)

Alter contents of $tweet before it's stored as JSON and alter $op to
determine how tweet will be processed (saved or skipped).

hook_tweetfetch_reset

Hook into reset event to clear caches locally or at CDN.
