API V2.0 support

I've looked over the API changes and they are not straight forward.

the cursoring/pagination is different but do-able. But the overall shape of the data is quite a bit different. My primary use case is 'contacts' and DMs and the 2.0 endpoints are pretty different. the friends endpoint functionally doesn't exist and the DM events is quite a bit different.

This is likely going to require quite a bit of changes either here or elsewhere

This will work with the new OAuth2 authentication requirements from Twitter (using the less full featured but much smaller twitter_oauth2 gem):

The free tier Twitter API now only allows tweet creation with API v2.0 and API v1.1 can only be used to upload media and update statuses. So unless v2.0 support is added this API will probably become obsolete.

Maybe https://github.com/sferik/twitter is the most similar gem compatible with v2.0 right now.

This issue is for the sferik/twitter gem which does NOT support Twitter API v2.0 yet. As shown in the gist above, you can talk to the new v2.0 Twitter API using the twitter_oauth2 gem instead.

Older applications won't support the twitter_oauth2 gem, without major version upgrades to core dependencies, as it requires rack (>= 2.1.0). So simply switching to that is not an option without considerable effort.

It would be ideal if this gem could support the API changes.

Ugh. Appreciate the insight

Sorry, wrong link, I meant https://github.com/julianfssen/tweetkit.
