tweets.js

Installing

You can install the tweets.js package using the following command

npm i tweets.js

support

• Discord Support server

usage

Getting the token

• Create an app on https://apps.twitter.com/
• Grab the Consumer Key (API Key) and Consumer Secret (API Secret) from Keys and Access Tokens
• Make sure you set the right access level for your app
• If you want to use user-based authentication, grab the access token key and secret as well

Using the package is pretty easy

setting up

const { client }= require('tweets.js');
const  bot = new  tweet({
consumer_key:  "",
consumer_secret:  "",
access_token:  "",
access_token_secret:  ""
// get these by applying for developer access on twitter
});

Example

tweeting

bot.tweet('hello from tweets.js').then(console.log).catch(console.error)

Streams

• Using the default settings

• A stream emitter is ready on startup by default, you will just have to call <client>.start(parameters) for it to be activated

• Do not use all the events in the below code without knowing what they are for, only use ones you need

const parameters = {
  follow: "1238451949000888322", // @typicalninja (my twitter id)
};

const stream = bot.start(parameters);

// Stream is ready
stream.on('ready', (res) => {
  console.log('Stream ready');
});

// o new tweet for our parameters was posted
stream.on("tweet", tweet => console.log(tweet));

// a tweet was deleted
stream.on('tweetDelete', (deletedTweet) => console.log(deletedTweet));

// a chuck was received
stream.on('raw', (data, type) => console.log('[', type, ']', '-', data));

// good idea to listen for these errors
stream.on('error', (err) => console.log(err));

// Not important
stream.on("ping", () => console.log("ping"))

// emitted when stream ends
stream.on("end", () => console.log(`Stream ended`))

// if the client reconnects due to pintTimeout exceeding (or other, but mostly pintTimeout exceeding)
stream.on('reconnect', () => console.log('Reconnecting.....'));

// Remove if not making a stream for debug purpose, logs everything the client does behind the scence
stream.on('debug', (message) => console.log(message));

search for users

// returns a array
bot.searchUsers('typicalNinja').catch(console.log).then(users => {
  console.log(users[0].id);
});
