GetTweet
A script for loading a user's latest tweet(s) without the Twitter API
Usage:
To get the tweet run the followng:
var myTweets = new GetTweet({
widget: '1234567890', // Twitter widget ID number
howMany: 5, // Number of tweets to load (1-20) - default is 1.
callbackFn: myFunction // Function to execute after tweets have been fetched
});Once that's been run, the tweet(s) will be available as an object at myTweets.tweets. It is an array of objects that look like this:
myTweets.tweets[0] = {
html: "string", // HTML from the tweet
isRT: false, // Boolean indicates whether this is a retweet
link: "https://twitter.com/user/statuses/[...]", // Permalink to tweet
name: "Full Name", // Full name of user
pic: "https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images/[...]_normal.jpeg", // URL for user's profile picture
text: "string", // Text from tweet (no links)
time: 1371501240000, // Number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC
user: "@user" // User's screen name
}The first tweet (most recent) in the array is also available at myTweets.tweet.
Help:
You can get any twitter user's ID number by creating a Twitter widget. Type in the desired username in the configuration settings and click the blue "Create Widget" button. The widget's ID number will be in the data-widget-id attribute of the <a> in the generated code.
