Description

Twitter4R v0.2.0 now provides 100% Twitter REST API coverage for Ruby. This library is more complete and more in the Ruby style of coding than "Twitter Gem" project. The latter seems to provide a convenient command-line tool for very basic Twitter REST API usages.

Quick Start

 $ sudo gem install twitter4r
 $ irb
 irb> gem('twitter4r', '>=0.2.0')
 irb> require('twitter')
 irb> client = Twitter::Client.new
 irb> timeline = client.timeline_for(:public) do |status|
 irb>   puts "#{status.user.screen_name}: #{status.text}"
 irb> end

External Dependencies

• RSpec gem 1.0.0+ (tested with 1.0.4)
• JSON gem 0.4.3+ (tested with versions: 0.4.3, and 0.1.1)
