Twitter API v2 sample code v2

Sample code for early access of the Twitter v2 endpoints. Each endpoint has a folder where you can find sample code (Python, Java, Ruby, Node.js, and in some cases, R).

Getting Started

Using the code samples

In order to run the code samples in this repository you will need to create environment variables. You can find your credentials and bearer token in the App inside of your Project in the dashboard of the developer portal.

For OAuth 1.0a samples, you will need to export your consumer key and secret in your terminal. Be sure to replace <your_consumer_key> and <your_consumer_secret> with your own credentials without the < >.

export CONSUMER_KEY='<your_consumer_key>'
export CONSUMER_SECRET='<your_consumer_secret>'

For samples which use bearer token authentication, you will need to export the bearer token. Be sure to replace <your_bearer_token> with your own bearer token without the < >.

export BEARER_TOKEN='<your_bearer_token>'

Python environment set up

You will need to have Python 3 installed to run this code. The Python samples use requests==2.24.0 which uses requests-oauthlib==1.3.0.

You can install these packages as follows:

pip install requests
pip install requests-oauthlib

Ruby environment set up

You will need to have Ruby (recommended: >= 2.0.0) installed in order to run the code. The Ruby examples use typheous as the HTTP client, which needs to be gem installed. For OAuth with user context requests, you'll also need to install the oauth gem (see below).

gem install typheous
gem install oauth

JavaScript (Node.js) environment set up

You will need to have Node.js installed to run this code. All Node.js examples use needle as the HTTP client, which needs to be npm installed. For OAuth with user context requests, you'll need to install the got and oauth-1.0a packages.

npm install needle
npm install got
npm install oauth-1.0a

Java environment set up

If you use Homebrew, you can install a Java runtime using:

brew cask install java
