Examples::
- twitter = Twitter(

+ t = Twitter(
+ auth=OAuth(token, token_key, con_secret, con_secret_key)))
- # Get the public timeline

- # Also supported (but totally weird)

+ t.user.list.members(user="tamtar", list="things-that-are-rad")

Using the data returned
Twitter API calls return decoded JSON. This is converted into
a bunch of Python lists, dicts, ints, and strings. For example::
- x = twitter.statuses.public_timeline()
+ x = twitter.statuses.home_timeline()
- # The first 'tweet' in the timeline
- x[0]
+ # The first 'tweet' in the timeline
+ x[0]
- # The screen name of the user who wrote the first 'tweet'
- x[0]['user']['screen_name']
+ # The screen name of the user who wrote the first 'tweet'
+ x[0]['user']['screen_name']
Getting raw XML data
If you prefer to get your Twitter data in XML format, pass
format="xml" to the Twitter object when you instantiate it::
- twitter = Twitter(format="xml")
+ twitter = Twitter(format="xml")
- The output will not be parsed in any way. It will be a raw string
- of XML.
