API Rosetta Code

A collection of standalone samples of Twitter API resources implemented in several languages and combinations of libraries that abstract Twitter API access.

The samples are organized as follows:

- samples
  |- use case 1
  |  |- language1-library1
  |  |- language1-library2
  |  |- language2
  |  \- language2-library3
  \- use case 2
     \- ..

This is a working in progress, your contribution is more than welcomed.

Quick start

• Copy credentials.txt.sample to credentials.txt
• Fill it with the API keys obtained at apps.twitter.com
• Choose the use case to learn at samples directory
• Choose a language + library combination
• Follow the install and execute instructions
• Read the code
• Report found bugs

Contributing

• All samples must run as standalone code
• There must be clear instructions on how to install dependencies and execute it
• There should be a script or dependency manager to install dependencies
• The sample code always load credentials from credentials.txt file
• The output must to be the raw JSON returned by the request
• Keep use cases simple and short, one request only, single file (if possible)
• Don't abuse on code comments, but write a legible code
• Reuse the template folder to create new use cases or samples
