• Supports Java 8 or later, Android (API level 24 or higher), JavaScript target.
• Supports all of Twitter's v1.1 public APIs and some v2 public and private APIs.
• All endpoint parameters can be represented by named parameters.
• There are model classes for response JSON, which can be accessed type-safely.
• Paging APIs can be handled by Flow.

Documentation is available at GitHub Pages.

Quick Example

suspend fun main() {
    // Create new PenicillinClient.
    PenicillinClient {
        account {
            application("ConsumerKey", "ConsumerSecret")
            token("AccessToken", "AccessToken Secret")
        }
    }.use { client ->
        // Retrieve up to 100 tweets from @POTUS.
        val timeline = client.timeline.userTimelineByScreenName(screenName = "POTUS", count = 100).execute()

        // The return value of the timeline is `JsonArrayResponse<Status>`. It implements `Iterable<T>`, which allows iterative operations.
        timeline.forEach { status ->
            // Print unescaped status text. If you want to get the raw html reference characters, you can use `textRaw`.
            println(status.text)
        }
    }
}
