Groovy Twitter

groovy-twitter is a Groovy wrapper for the Twitter API.

Building

In progress with Gant and Gradle

Using

API:

The API is exposed through the groovyx.twitter.Twitter class. To create an instance of Twitter using the groovysh:

``` Leopard:~/groovy-twitter alleon$ groovysh Groovy Shell (1.5.6, JVM: 1.5.0_13-119)

Type 'help' or '\h' for help.

groovy:000> twitter = new Twitter("guillaume.alleon@gmail.com", "****") ===> groovyx.twitter.Twitter@ee4c6 ```

To fetch a user's profile:

groovy:000> u = twitter.getUser("glaforge") ===> 14441858Guillaume LaforgeglaforgeParisGroovy lead ... groovy:000> println "Id of glaforge = ${u.id}" Id of glaforge = 14441858 ===> null

To fetch a single user's public status messages, where "user" is a Twitter user id:

groovy:000> t = twitter.getFriendsTimeline(u) ===> [Sun May 04 07:51:33 +0000 2008803072576GMaven 1.0-rc-1 is released ... groovy:000> t.each{println "by ${it.user.name} : ${it.text}"} by jasondillon : GMaven 1.0-rc-1 is released! by Bernard Notarianni : Aller, je vais preparer le ptit dej! ... by Duncan Davidson : wanting to whine about baggage wait at SFO but trying not to. Mostly because I could have used this time to pick up decent food.

To fetch the tweets of the authetified user: x = twitter.tweets ===> [Sun May 04 06:46:09 +0000 2008803052090Post Update from groovysh using groovy-twitter ... groovy:000> x.each{println it} Sun May 04 06:46:09 +0000 2008803052090Post Update from groovysh using groovy-twitter ...

To end the connection: groovy:000> twitter.logoff() ===> true
