tweetust

Twitter API wrapper for Rust.

Roadmap

• Parse Tweet.source (in serde_json?)
• media API
  • media/metadata/create
• collections API
• Streaming
• jsonmap element in API definition files
  • direct_messages/events
• Support hyper 0.11 (I wonder it is very hard...)

How to build

This project generates code using the CoreTweet API Templates. CoreTweet is included as a submodule so:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:azyobuzin/tweetust.git

...before cargo build.

lib.rs:

Tweetust is a simple wrapper for Twitter API.

Getting started

This is a Twitter API wrapper, so you must lean Twitter API. Visit the official document.

After getting the API key, let's start using tweetust.

How to get the access token

See oauth::request_token function. After getting the access token, you can use to_authenticator function to make OAuthAuthenticator.

How to create OAuthAuthenticator with an access token string

See OAuthAuthenticator::new.

The first tweeting

When you created OAuthAuthenticator and set to auth variable, you can tweet in a minute.

use tweetust::*;

let handler = DefaultHttpHandler::with_https_connector().unwrap();
let auth = OAuthAuthenticator::new("API Key", "API Secret", "Access Token", "Access Token Secret");

let your_tweet =
  TwitterClient::new(auth, handler)
    .statuses()
    .update("My First Tweet!")
    .execute();

It's easy for those who have leaned about Twitter, isn't it?
