Tuiter is a Node.JS library that makes the interaction with the Twitter API easy.
npm install tuiter
Require Tuiter
var Tuiter = require('tuiter');
Create a Tuiter object with your Twitter application keys
var tu = new Tuiter({
"consumer_key" : "blablabla"
, "consumer_secret" : "blablabla"
, "access_token_key" : "blablabla"
, "access_token_secret" : "blablabla"
});
Use the api methods as you want, for example:
tu.mentions({trim_user: false}, function(err, data){
console.log(data);
});
Using the Streaming is a little different:
tu.filter({track: ['soccer','pokemon']}, function(stream){
// tweets :)
stream.on('tweet', function(data){
console.log(data);
});
// deleted statuses data
stream.on('delete', function(del){
console.log(del);
});
// errors
stream.on('error', function(err){
console.log(err);
});
});
A Tuiter + Express + Socket.io + Google Maps example demo is deployed here. You can find the code here.
