[twitter-dev] Really need assistance with a basic user timeline

2010-09-17 Thread Mike
Hello all,

I am pulling my hair out trying to find an answer to this problem and
what seems like a simple problem really isn't turning out to have a
simple answer.

All I want to do is list the most recent tweets and retweets in my
account on my website.  I used to do this easily using PHP and cURL
but that feature has been broken since Twitter moved to oAuth.  Now I
want to duplicate this functionality but I just cannot seem to
understand how to do it.  All of the tutorials I've read are for
creating apps with sign ins and updating your accounts, but all I want
is the dang FEED - no updating status, no direct messages, just my
stream.

Can someone please help me?  I am frantic.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

If your intention is to just fetch the tweets you author and the retweets
you create, you can make an unauthenticated request to something along the
lines of :

GET
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.atom?screen_name=episodinclude_rts=true

Without using OAuth, you can make a call such as this up to 150 times a day
from a single IP address. If you prefer RSS to ATOM, just change the
extension to .rss (or .json, or .xml). Replace the screen_name value with
your own screen name.

Thanks,
Taylor
