twitter-go

twitter-go is a Go client library for accessing the Twitter API v2.

Usage

First we have to go to Twitter Developer platform and register to get hands on a bearer token to use on our requests to the API, since all endpoints require one.

Installing

import "github.com/vniche/twitter-go"

Construct a new Twitter client, then use the various services on the client to access different parts of the Twitter API. For example:

// Fetching an user by ID

import (
    twitter "github.com/vniche/twitter-go"
)

client := twitter.WithBearerToken("mybearertoken123", nil)

// custom parameters for query
params := make(map[string][]string)
params["user.fields"] = []string{
    "public_metrics",
}

// fetch user by id
user, err := client.LookupUserByID(userID, params)
if err != nil {
    log.Panicf("unable to fetch user by id: %+v", err)
}

fmt.Printf("user: %+v\n", user)

Contributing

I would like to cover the entire Twitter API and contributions are of course always welcome. The calling pattern is pretty well established, so adding new methods is relatively straightforward.
