my-tweets

Fetches all of your tweets from Twitter, saving them to a json file.

Setup (or: oauth sucks)

• Create a file in this directory named config.rb
• Create an app for my-tweets at twitter.com/apps (lame, right?)
• In config.rb:
  • Set CONSUMER_KEY to your consumer key
  • Set CONSUMER_SECRET to your consumer secret
• Find your app id (http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/details/THIS-IS-YOUR-APPID)
• Visit http://dev.twitter.com/apps/YOUR-APP-ID/my_token
• In config.rb:
  • Set TOKEN to your access token
  • Set TOKEN_SECRET to your access token secret
• Finally, set USERNAME in config.rb to whatever username you want to get tweets for.

Sucks, right?

Usage

Then run the script:

$ ruby mytweets.rb

You can also dump all of your tweets to the terminal as JSON if you want:

$ ruby mytweets.rb --verbose

Extras

Make sure you've already run ruby mytweets.rb before you attempt these.

Search your Tweetion (all your tweets)

$ ruby searcher.rb something

or:

$ irb
>> require 'searcher'
=> true
>> Tweetion.search /hello/i

See who you mention

$ ruby mentions.rb

You can limit:

$ ruby mentions.rb --limit 10

Warning: You may be surprised at you talk to the most.

See who you reply to

$ ruby replies.rb

Again, you can limit:

$ ruby replies.rb --limit 10
