tweetfetch's Introduction

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.

tweetfetch's Issues

Support for Twitter's Search API

@bryanhirsch Here's a patch for what could be a useful update: https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/tweetfetch-support_for_search_api.patch

It:

Allows tweetfetch (https://github.com/WhiteHouse/tweetfetch) to query Twitter's Search API.
Allows better formatted printing for when devel isn't enabled.

I can submit a pull request if the updates look valuable.
