Twitter::API - A Twitter REST API library for Perl
=for html
=head1 VERSION
version 1.0001
=head1 SYNOPSIS
### Common usage ###
use Twitter::API;
my $client = Twitter::API->new_with_traits(
traits => 'Enchilada',
consumer_key => $YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY,
consumer_secret => $YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET,
access_token => $YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN,
access_token_secret => $YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,
);
my $me = $client->verify_credentials;
my $user = $client->show_user('twitter');
# In list context, both the Twitter API result and a Twitter::API::Context
# object are returned.
my ($r, $context) = $client->home_timeline({ count => 200, trim_user => 1 });
my $remaning = $context->rate_limit_remaining;
my $until = $context->rate_limit_reset;
### No frills ###
my $client = Twitter::API->new(
consumer_key => $YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY,
consumer_secret => $YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET,
);
my $r = $client->get('account/verify_credentials', {
-token => $an_access_token,
-token_secret => $an_access_token_secret,
});
### Error handling ###
use Twitter::API::Util 'is_twitter_api_error';
use Try::Tiny;
try {
my $r = $client->verify_credentials;
}
catch {
die $_ unless is_twitter_api_error($_);
# The error object includes plenty of information
say $_->http_request->as_string;
say $_->http_response->as_string;
say 'No use retrying right away' if $_->is_permanent_error;
if ( $_->is_token_error ) {
say "There's something wrong with this token."
}
if ( $_->twitter_error_code == 326 ) {
say "Oops! Twitter thinks you're spam bot!";
}
};
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Twitter::API provides an interface to the Twitter REST API for perl.
Features:
=over 4
=item *
full support for all Twitter REST API endpoints
=item *
not dependent on a new distribution for new endpoint support
=item *
optionally specify access tokens per API call
=item *
error handling via an exception object that captures the full request/response context
=item *
full support for OAuth handshake and Xauth authentication
=back
Additional features are available via optional traits:
=over 4
=item *
convenient methods for API endpoints with simplified argument handling via L
=item *
normalized booleans (Twitter likes 'true' and 'false', except when it doesn't) via L
=item *
automatic decoding of HTML entities via L
=item *
automatic retry on transient errors via L
=item *
"the whole enchilada" combines all the above traits via L
=item *
app-only (OAuth2) support via L
=item *
automatic rate limiting via L
=back
Some features are provided by separate distributions to avoid additional
dependencies most users won't want or need:
=over 4
=item *
async support via subclass L
=item *
inflate API call results to objects via L
=back
=head1 OVERVIEW
=head2 Migration from Net::Twitter and Net::Twitter::Lite
Migration support is included to assist users migrating from L
and L. It will be removed from a future release. See
L for details about migrating your
existing Net::Twitter/::Lite applications.
=head2 Normal usage
Normally, you will construct a Twitter::API client with some traits, primarily
B. It provides methods for each known Twitter API endpoint.
Documentation is provided for each of those methods in
L.
See the list of traits in the L and refer to the documentation
for each.
=head2 Minimalist usage
Without any traits, Twitter::API provides access to API endpoints with the
L and L methods described below, as well
as methods for managing OAuth authentication. API results are simply perl data
structures decoded from the JSON responses. Refer to the L for available endpoints,
parameters, and responses.
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
=head2 consumer_key, consumer_secret
Required. Every application has it's own application credentials.
=head2 access_token, access_token_secret
Optional. If provided, every API call will be authenticated with these user
credentials. See L for app-only (OAuth2)
support, which does not require user credentials. You can also pass options
C<-token> and C<-token_secret> to specify user credentials on each API call.
=head2 api_url
Optional. Defaults to C.
=head2 upload_url
Optional. Defaults to C.
=head2 api_version
Optional. Defaults to C<1.1>.
=head2 agent
Optional. Used for both the User-Agent and X-Twitter-Client identifiers.
Defaults to C.
=head2 timeout
Optional. Request timeout in seconds. Defaults to C<10>.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 get($url, [ \%args ])
Issues an HTTP GET request to Twitter. If C<$url> is just a path part, e.g.,
C, it will be expanded to a full URL by prepending
the C, C and appending C<.json>. A full URL can also be
specified, e.g. C.
This should accommodate any new API endpoints Twitter adds without requiring an
update to this module.
=head2 post($url, [ \%args ])
See C above, for a discussion C<$url>. For file upload, pass an array
reference as described in
L.
=head2 oauth_request_token([ \%args ])
This is the first step in the OAuth handshake. The only argument expected is
C, which defaults to C for PIN based verification. Web
applications will pass a callback URL.
Returns a hashref that includes C and C.
See L.
=head2 oauth_authentication_url(\%args)
This is the second step in the OAuth handshake. The only required argument is
C. Use the value returned by C. Optional
arguments: C and C to pre-fill Twitter's
authentication form.
See L.
=head2 oauth_authorization_url(\%args)
Identical to C, but uses authorization flow, rather
than authentication flow.
See L.
=head2 oauth_access_token(\%ags)
This is the third and final step in the OAuth handshake. Pass the request
C, request C obtained in the C call,
and either the PIN number if you used C for the callback value in
C or the C parameter returned in the web callback,
as C.
See L.
=head2 xauth(\%args)
Requires per application approval from Twitter. Pass C and
C.
