Configuration

twitter-api-client comes with an inbuilt in-memory cache.
The stale data is served by the cache-first principle.

You can configure the caching behavior upon instantiation of the client:

const twitterClient = new TwitterClient({
  apiKey: '<YOUR-TWITTER-API-KEY>',
  apiSecret: '<YOUR-TWITTER-API-SECRET>',
  accessToken: '<YOUR-TWITTER-ACCESS-TOKEN>',
  accessTokenSecret: '<YOUR-TWITTER-ACCESS-TOKEN-SECRET>',
  ttl: 120, // seconds. Defaults to 360
  disableCache: true, // Disables the caching behavior. Defaults to 'false'
  maxByteSize: 32000000, // Maximum (approximated) memory size for cache store. Defaults to 16000000.
});
