Example usage example for Tweeting with Twitter

ciaranj edited this page Sep 13, 2010 · 1 revision

This example assumes that you have already got hold of a valid twitter OAuth accesstoken and OAuth token secret. This can be done either by using the node-oauth library to perform the usual workflow, or by using the ‘my access token’ functionality that twitter provides.

var OAuth= require('./lib/oauth').OAuth;
oAuth= new OAuth("http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
                 "http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token", 
                 twitterConsumerKey,  twitterConsumerSecret, 
                 "1.0A", null, "HMAC-SHA1");       
oAuth.post("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json", twitterAccessToken, 
                           twitterAccessTokenSecret, {"status":"Need somebody to love me!"}, function(error, data) {
                             if(error) console.log(require('sys').inspect(error))
                             else console.log(data)
});
