twitterHelper

JS Twitter helper. Get data from Twitter without using its API.

Warning

It's based on a current implementation of URL structure of Twitter. It may change unexpectedly in the future.

Usage

This helper helps to get Twitter data, like user timeline from Twitter, without using OAuth API. It will fetch data that are accessible through Twitter widgets.

Get user tweets

Gettings user tweets is super simple. Just run the following method:

twitterHelper.getTweetsByUsername('sunpietro');

And listen to the tweetsByUsernameFetched event dispatched onto the BODY DOM element. The event will contain tweets data (the latest 20 tweets by default).

document.body.addEventListener('tweetsByUsernameFetched', callback, false);

Browser support

Tested only with the latest browsers versions available on the market. ES6 support is required.
