Both have API's, so should be documented how to get the data you're after.

Not really, JSON support is built into the Flash player, so can you convert 
from JSON to AS and back.


var data:Object = JSON.parse(jsonData);

where jsonData is a JSON formatted string.

Its cool that we both keep looking at the same links. Started reading that one, 
when I found out the JSON requirement. The other two are really making me 
scratch my head. 

Thanks and good luck on your project,

Re: [Flashcoders] Pulling data from social media

[John R. Sweeney Jr.]

Hi Karl,

Thank you for your links, but unfortunately, I saw all of these and they are 
dated 2009, 2010 and/or 2012 and use the API v1. That API was retired in May of 
2013. 

I found this from the Twitter Developers pages:

"We've chosen to throw our support behind the JSON format shared across the 
platform. Consequently, we’ve decided to discontinue support for XML, Atom, and 
RSS.”

And all the examples I’m finding are older and whether its direct calls from 
Flash or PHP, if they are calling to .rss or .xml and through the API v1, the 
pages don’t exist or links are broken, etc.

Very frustrating and that’s just Twitter Having less luck with Pinterest and 
Instagram. 

Thanks again though for the suggestions,
John

Hi John,
Well, googling "twitter api for flash as3" yielded some good results for me.
There was this link that looks promising.
https://blog.twitter.com/2006/twitter-api-flash-developers 

Also found this package example.  

http://www.untoldentertainment.com/blog/2009/04/02/tutorial-pull-twitter-updates-into-flash/

don't know if its what your wanting, but found it with google search terms: 
pull twitter feeds with flash as3

There is this too.

[Flashcoders] Pulling data from social media

[John R. Sweeney Jr.]

Howdy all,

Well my client wants to pull 20 latest feeds from their Twitter, Instagram and 
Pinterest. I’ve already found out that Twitter stopped supporting RSS feeds and 
retired the REST api v1 and now have the Twitter API v1.1 that is JSON only. 
Does anyone access Twitter feeds some other way. Twitter says that RSS is out 
and I haven’t worked with JSON before.

Also, I’m trying find out about how to access Pinterest and Instagram to just 
get the number of followers of four specific users. I really can’t find any 
meaningful help out their in relationship with Flash/AS3.

Has anyone done either of these or know of a direction you can point me in to 
get some guidance? 

Thanks in advance for any help,
John
