node-red-node-twitter ===================== Node-RED nodes to talk to Twitter. The Twitter API will **NOT** deliver 100% of all tweets. This does **NOT** give access to the Twitter Firehose. Tweets of who you follow will include their retweets and favourites. **Note** : This is the same node as was in the core of Node-RED. As of v0.10.8 it will be installed from here instead. Install ------- Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install, usually this is ~/.node-red . npm install node-red-node-twitter Usage ----- Provides two nodes - one to receive messages, and one to send. ###Input Twitter input node. Can be used to search either: - the public or a user's stream for tweets containing the configured search term - all tweets by specific users - direct messages received by the authenticated user Use **space** for *and*, and **comma** , for *or* when searching for multiple terms. Sets the **msg.topic** to *tweets/* and then appends the senders screen name. Sets **msg.location** to the tweeters location if known. Sets **msg.tweet** to the full tweet object as documented by Twitter. **Note:** when set to a specific user's tweets, or your direct messages, the node is subject to Twitter's API rate limiting. If you deploy the flows multiple times within a 15 minute window, you may exceed the limit and will see errors from the node. These errors will clear when the current 15 minute window passes. ###Output Tweets the **msg.payload**. To send a Direct Message (DM) - use a payload like. D {username} {message} If **msg.media** exists and is a Buffer object, this node will treat it as an image and attach it to the tweet. If **msg.params** exists and is an object of name:value pairs, this node will treat it as parameters for the update request.
