Twitter Platform Demos — Twitter APIs & Node in the Browser, on a Raspberry Pi, and with an AR.Drone!

Twitter Platform Demos

This repository contains the source code for demos using the Twitter APIs. They are all written in JavaScript using Node, HTML5, WebSockets and more.

These demos were originally created for my talk at the API Strategy Conference in Amsterdam.

Overview

Here is an overview of the demos in this repository:

• Monitoring and filtering Tweets in real time from the Streaming APIs
• Tweeting pictures from a Raspberry Pi and its Camera Module
• Controlling a Parrot AR.Drone from Tweets and acknowledging commands

Setup

You will need to obtain Twitter App credentials from apps.twitter.com to setup your own config.js based on the sample file in each demo folder.

Install the package dependencies from npm by running npm install and you are all set!

To get started with the demos, just run the corresponding Node program, for instance using node streaming/server.js for the Streaming APIs demos in the browser.
