97 | The minimalist yet fully featured Twitter API class. | |
98 | ||
99 | Get RESTful data by accessing members of this class. The result | |
100 | is decoded python objects (lists and dicts). | |
101 | ||
102 | The Twitter API is documented here: | |

105 | http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/web/api-documentation | |

107 | Examples:: | |
108 | ||
109 | twitter = Twitter("hello@foo.com", "password123") | |
110 | ||
111 | # Get the public timeline | |
112 | twitter.statuses.public_timeline() | |
113 | ||
114 | # Get a particular friend's timeline | |
115 | twitter.statuses.friends_timeline(id="billybob") | |
116 | ||
117 | # Also supported (but totally weird) | |
118 | twitter.statuses.friends_timeline.billybob() | |

125 | Searching Twitter:: |

153dee29 | 134 | |
7364ea65 | 135 | Using the data returned:: |
136 | ||
137 | Twitter API calls return decoded JSON. This is converted into | |
138 | a bunch of Python lists, dicts, ints, and strings. For example, | |
139 | ||
140 | x = twitter.statuses.public_timeline() | |
141 | ||

143 | x[0] | |

146 | x[0]['user']['screen_name'] | |

148 | Getting raw XML data:: | |
