What Paul showed is basically just a hack. What you probably what is full API access to Twitter, that gives you the real thing, but it is more work and you have to understand all the technical details (unless somebody already did it for you, I don't know - I know that Zinc-SSO can connect to Twitter). https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api

Hi,
Recently Paul DeBruicker taught me how to refine my code for getting tweets properly. Consider this:
=[1]==================================== | source anUrl tweet |
anUrl := 'https://twitter.com/offrayLC'. source := Soup fromString: (ZnEasy get: anUrl ) contents asString. tweets := (source findAllTagsByClass: 'ProfileTweet-text') collect:[:ea | ea text]. ========================================
Is working fine, but I would like to get more that 19 tweets, that is what you get by default. There is any way to tell ZnEasy and friends to get more tweets, something similar to what you do when you scroll down into a twitter page?
And by the way, I would like to make more sense of the Soup I got in the last line. ea text gives me the tweet contents, but how can I interpret the metadata in the soup? (is a retweet, date of publishing and so on). I could make this for most part of the twitter profile page, but the tweet is kind of elusive, for example how to know that "text" is the proper message for getting the tweet content? Any pointer to how to make sense of it by myself is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Offray
