twitter-rss-server

Serve Twitter user timelines as RSS feeds.

installation

$ npm install -g twitter-rss-server

setup

Unfortunately Twitter has a great deal of barriers around their API. Setup requires creating a new Twitter app in order to get a Consumer Key, Consumer Secret Key, an Access Token, and an Access Token Secret. Oy vey.

On your first run of twitter-rss-server you'll be asked for these values: they'll be written as a JSON blob in your system's configuration directory (~/.config/configstore/twitter-rss-server on *nixes).

usage

Use the twitter-rss-server command to run. It defaults to port 6000 on your local machine.

$ twitter-rss-server

From here you can treat http://localhost:6000/username as a regular RSS feed!

$ curl http://localhost:6000/noffle

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">
    <channel>
        <title>Noffle Twitter RSS</title>
        <description>A generated feed of the tweets from Noffle</description>
        <link>https://twitter.com/Noffle</link>
    ...

Each request to the HTTP endpoint makes a fresh request to the Twitter API, making it stateless: fire up the server and grab fresh RSS data whenever you like.
