NAME
Net::Twitter - A perl interface to the Twitter API
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Twitter;
use Scalar::Util 'blessed';
# When no authentication is required:
my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(legacy => 0);
# As of 13-Aug-2010, Twitter requires OAuth for authenticated requests
my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
traits => [qw/API::RESTv1_1/],
consumer_key => $consumer_key,
consumer_secret => $consumer_secret,
access_token => $token,
access_token_secret => $token_secret,
);
my $result = $nt->update('Hello, world!');
eval {
my $statuses = $nt->friends_timeline({ since_id => $high_water, count => 100 });
for my $status ( @$statuses ) {
print "$status->{created_at} <$status->{user}{screen_name}> $status->{text}\n";
}
};
if ( my $err = $@ ) {
die $@ unless blessed $err && $err->isa('Net::Twitter::Error');
warn "HTTP Response Code: ", $err->code, "\n",
"HTTP Message......: ", $err->message, "\n",
"Twitter error.....: ", $err->error, "\n";
}
TWITTER API V1.1 SUPPORT
This version of Net::Twitter provides Twitter API v1.1 support. Enable
it by including the "API::RESTv1_1" trait instead of "API::REST". Using
Twitter API v1.1 may require changes to you code! It is not completely
backwards compatible with v1.
For help migrating your application to Twitter API v1.1, see
Net::Twitter::Manual::MigratingToV1_1.
DESCRIPTION
This module has been superseded by Twitter::API. Please update as soon
as you possibly can to use new features and the new API versions. This
module will no longer be supported.
This module provides a perl interface to the Twitter APIs. See
<http://dev.twitter.com/docs> for a full description of the Twitter
APIs.
TWITTER API VERSION 1.1
Twitter will (perhaps has by the time you read this) deprecated version
1 of the API. Documentation, here, assumes version 1.1 of the API. For
version 1 documentation, see Net::Twitter::Role::API::REST.
To use Twitter API version 1.1, simply replace "API::REST" in the
"traits" argument to "new" with "API::RESTv1_1". The "Net::Twitter" API
is backwards compatible to the extent possible. If Twitter does not
provide a 1.1 endpoint for a version 1 call, "Net::Twitter" cannot
support it, of course.
Twitter API version 1.1 requires OAuth authentication for all calls.
There is no longer an IP address limit and a per-user limit. Each API
call has it's own rate limit. Most are 15 calls reset every 15 minutes.
Others are 180 calls, reset every 15 minutes. These limits may change.
For current rate limits, see
<https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1/limits>.
OMG! THE MOOSE!
Net::Twitter is Moose based. Moose provides some advantages, including
the ability for the maintainer of this module to respond quickly to
Twitter API changes.
See Net::Twitter::Lite if you need an alternative without Moose and its
dependencies.
Net::Twitter::Lite's API method definitions and documentation are
generated from Net::Twitter. It is a related module, but does not depend
on Net::Twitter or Moose for installation.
RETURN VALUES
Net::Twitter decodes the data structures returned by the Twitter API
into native perl data structures (HASH references and ARRAY references).
The full layout of those data structures are not documented, here. They
change often, usually with the addition of new elements, and documenting
all of those changes would be a significant challenge.
Instead, rely on the online Twitter API documentation and inspection of
the returned data.
The Twitter API online documentation is located at
<http://dev.twitter.com/doc>.
To inspect the data, use Data::Dumper or similar module of your choice.
Here's a simple example using Data::Dumper:
use Data::Dumper;
my $r = $nt->search($search_term);
print Dumper $r;
For more information on perl data structures, see perlreftut, perldsc,
and perllol.
METHODS AND ARGUMENTS
new This constructs a "Net::Twitter" object. It takes several named
parameters, all of them optional:
traits
An ARRAY ref of traits used to control which APIs the
constructed "Net::Twitter" object will support and how it
handles errors. Possible values are:
API::RESTv1_1
Provides support for the Twitter REST API version 1.1
methods.
API::Search
Deprecated. Use "search" in API::RESTv1_1 instead.
AppAuth
Provides Application-Only Authentication
<https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/application-only> with
methods, "request_access_token" and "invalidate_token". See
Net::Twitter::Role::AppAuth.
Example:
my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
traits => [ qw/AppAuth API::RESTv1_1/ ],
consumer_key => 'my-consumer-key',
consumer_secret => 'my-consumer-secret',
);
$nt->request_access_token;
say 'token: ', $nt->access_token;
my $r = $nt->followers_ids({
screen_name => 'timtoady',
cursor => -1,
});
# good until invalidated, with ...
$nt->invalidate_token
AutoCursor
"AutoCursor" is a parameterized trait that provides an
automatic loop for cursored calls, returning an ARRAY
reference to the combined results. By default, it handles
"friends_ids" and "followers_ids". See
Net::Twitter::Role::AutoCursor for details.
InflateObjects
When this optional trait is included, Net::Twitter inflates
HASH refs returned by Twitter into objects with read
accessors for each element. In addition, it inflates dates
to DateTime objects and URLs to URI objects. Objects that
include a "created_at" attribute also have a
"relative_created_at" method.
For example, with "InflateObjects" applied, the
<friends_timeline> method returns an array of status
objects:
$r = $nt->friends_timeline;
for my $status ( @$r ) {
$r->user->screen_name; # same as $r->{user}{screen_name}
# $created_at is a DateTime; $age is a DateTime::Duration
my $age = DateTime->now - $r->created_at;
# print an age in a similar style to the Twitter web site, e.g.:
# less than a minute ago
# about a minute ago
# 6 minutes ago
# 1 day ago
# etc.
print $r->relative_created_at;
Legacy
This trait provides backwards compatibility to
"Net::Twitter" versions prior to 3.00. It implies the traits
"API::REST", "API::Search", "API::TwitterVision", and
"API::WrapError". It also provides additional functionality
to ensure consistent behavior for applications written for
use with legacy versions of "Net::Twitter".
In the current version, this trait is automatically included
if the "traits" option is not specified. This ensures
backwards compatibility for existing applications using
"Net::Twitter" versions prior to 3.00. See section "LEGACY
COMPATIBILITY" for more details.
OAuth
The "OAuth" trait provides OAuth authentication rather than
the default Basic Authentication for Twitter API method
calls. See the "Authentication" section and
Net::Twitter::Role::OAuth for full documentation.
RateLimit
The "RateLimit" trait adds utility methods that return
information about the current rate limit status. See
Net::Twitter::Role::RateLimit for details.
RetryOnError
The "RetryOnError" trait automatically retries Twitter API
calls with temporary failures. See
Net::Twitter::Role::RetryOnError for details.
WrapError
"Net::Twitter" normally throws exceptions on error. When
this trait is included, "Net::Twitter" returns undef when a
method fails and makes the error available through method
"get_error". This is the way all errors were handled in
Net::Twitter versions prior to version 3.00.
Some examples of using the "traits" parameter in "new":
# provide support for *only* the REST API; throw exceptions on error
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(traits => ['API::RESTv1_1']);
# provide support for both the REST and Search APIs; wrap errors
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(traits => [qw/API::RESTv1_1 API::Search WrapError/]);
# Provide legacy support for applications written with Net::Twitter
# prior to version 3.0.
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(traits => ['Legacy']);
legacy
A boolean. If set to 0, "new" constructs a "Net::Twitter" object
implementing the REST API and throws exceptions on API method
errors.
Net::Twitter->new(legacy => 0);
is a shortcut for:
Net::Twitter->new(traits => ['API::RESTv1_1']);
If set to 1, "new" constructs a "Net::Twitter" object with the
"Legacy" trait.
Net::Twitter->new(legacy => 1);
is a shortcut for:
Net::Twitter->new(traits => ['Legacy']);
username
This is the username for Basic Authentication. NOTE: as of
31-Aug-2010, Twitter no longer supports Basic Authentication.
Use OAuth instead. Other Twitter compatible services may,
however, accept Basic Authentication, so support for it remains
in "Net::Twitter".
password
This is the password used for Basic Authentication.
clientname
The value for the "X-Twitter-Client-Name" HTTP header. It
defaults to "Perl Net::Twitter". Note: This option has nothing
to do with the "via" application byline.
clientver
The value for the "X-Twitter-Client-Version" HTTP header. It
defaults to current version of the "Net::Twitter" module.
clienturl
The value for the "X-Twitter-Client-URL" HTTP header. It
defaults to the search.cpan.org page for the "Net::Twitter"
distribution.
useragent_class
The "LWP::UserAgent" compatible class used internally by
"Net::Twitter". It defaults to "LWP::UserAgent". For POE based
applications, consider using "LWP::UserAgent::POE".
useragent_args
An HASH ref of arguments to pass to constructor of the class
specified with "useragent_class", above. It defaults to {} (an
empty HASH ref).
useragent
The value for "User-Agent" HTTP header. It defaults to
"Net::Twitter/4.01043 (Perl)".
source
Twitter on longer uses the "source" parameter. Support for it
remains in "Net::Twitter" for any compatible services that may
use it. It was originally used by Twitter to provide an "via"
application byline.
apiurl
The URL for the Twitter API. This defaults to
"http://api.twitter.com/1". This option is available when the
"API::RESTv1_1" trait is included.
apihost
DEPRECATED - Setting the "apiurl" is sufficient.
apirealm
A string containing the Twitter API realm used for Basic
Authentication. It defaults to "Twitter API". This option is
available when the "API::RESTv1_1" trait is included.
identica
If set to 1, "Net::Twitter" overrides the defaults for "apiurl",
"apihost", and "apirealm" to "http://identi.ca/api",
"identi.ca:80", and "Laconica API" respectively. It defaults to
0. This option is available when the "API::RESTv1_1" trait is
included.
consumer_key
A string containing the OAuth consumer key provided by Twitter
when an application is registered. This option is available when
the "OAuth" trait is included.
consumer_secret
A string containing the OAuth consumer secret. This option is
available when the "OAuth" trait is included.
ssl If set to 1, an SSL connection will be used for all API calls.
Defaults to 1.
netrc
(Optional) Sets the *machine* key to look up in ".netrc" to
obtain credentials. If set to 1, Net::Twitter will use the value
of the "netrc_machine" option (below).
# in .netrc
machine api.twitter.com
login YOUR_TWITTER_USER_NAME
password YOUR_TWITTER_PASSWORD
machine semifor.twitter.com
login semifor
password SUPERSECRET
# in your perl program
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(netrc => 1);
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(netrc => 'semifor.twitter.com');
netrc_machine
(Optional) Sets the "machine" entry to look up in ".netrc" when
"<netrc =" 1>> is used. Defaults to "api.twitter.com".
decode_html_entities
Twitter encodes HTML entities in the "text" field of statuses.
Set this option to 1 to have them automatically decoded. Default
0.
credentials($username, $password)
Set the credentials for Basic Authentication. This is helpful for
managing multiple accounts.
ua Provides access to the constructed user agent object used internally
by "Net::Twitter". Use it with caution.
AUTHENTICATION
With REST API version 1.1, all API calls require OAuth. Since
31-Aug-2010, version 1 required OAuth requests requiring authentication.
Other Twitter compatible services, like Identi.ca, accept Basic
Authentication. So, "Net::Twitter" provides support for both.
To set up OAuth, include the "consumer_key" and "consumer_secret"
options to "new". When they are provided, the "OAuth" trait will be
automatically included. See Net::Twitter::Role::OAuth for more
information on using OAuth, including examples.
To set up Basic Authentication in "Net::Twitter", provide the "username"
and "password" options to "new" or call the "credentials" method.
In addition to the arguments specified for each API method described
below, an additional "-authenticate" parameter can be passed. To request
an "Authorization" header, pass "-authenticate => 1"; to suppress an
authentication header, pass "-authenticate => 0". Even if requested, an
Authorization header will not be added if there are no user credentials
(username and password for Basic Authentication; access tokens for
OAuth).
This is probably only useful for non-Twitter sites that use the Twitter
API and support unauthenticated calls.
API METHODS AND ARGUMENTS
Most Twitter API methods take parameters. All Net::Twitter API methods
will accept a HASH ref of named parameters as specified in the Twitter
API documentation. For convenience, many Net::Twitter methods accept
simple positional arguments. The positional parameter passing style is
optional; you can always use the named parameters in a HASH reference if
you prefer.
You may pass any number of required parameters as positional parameters.
You must pass them in the order specified in the documentation for each
method. Optional parameters must be passed as named parameters in a HASH
reference. The HASH reference containing the named parameters must be
the final parameter to the method call. Any required parameters not
passed as positional parameters, must be included in the named parameter
HASH reference.
For example, the REST API method "update" has one required parameter,
"status". You can call "update" with a HASH ref argument:
$nt->update({ status => 'Hello world!' });
Or, you can use the convenient, positional parameter form:
$nt->update('Hello world!');
The "update" method also has an optional parameter,
"in_reply_to_status_id". To use it, you must use the HASH ref form:
$nt->update({ status => 'Hello world!', in_reply_to_status_id => $reply_to });
You may use the convenient positional form for the required "status"
parameter with the optional parameters specified in the named parameter
HASH reference:
$nt->update('Hello world!', { in_reply_to_status_id => $reply_to });
Convenience form is provided for the required parameters of all API
methods. So, these two calls are equivalent:
$nt->friendship_exists({ user_a => $fred, user_b => $barney });
$nt->friendship_exists($fred, $barney);
Many API methods have aliases. You can use the API method name, or any
of its aliases, as you prefer. For example, these calls are all
equivalent:
$nt->friendship_exists($fred, $barney);
$nt->relationship_exists($fred, $barney);
$nt->follows($fred, $barney);
Aliases support both the HASH ref and convenient forms:
$nt->follows({ user_a => $fred, user_b => $barney });
Cursors and Paging
Some methods return partial results a page at a time. Originally,
methods that returned partial results used a "page" parameter. A more
recent addition to the Twitter API for retrieving multiple pages uses
the "cursor" parameter. Usually, a method uses either the "page"
parameter or the "cursor" parameter, but not both. There have been
exceptions to this rule when Twitter deprecates the use of "page" for a
method in favor of "cursor". In that case, both methods may work during
a transition period. So, if a method supports both, you should always
use the "cursor" parameter.
Paging
For methods that support paging, the first page is returned by passing
"page => 1", the second page by passing "page => 2", etc. If no "page"
parameter is passed, the first page is returned.
Here's an example that demonstrates how to obtain all favorites in a
loop:
my @favs;
for ( my $page = 1; ; ++$page ) {
my $r = $nt->favorites({ page => $page });
last unless @$r;
push @favs, @$r;
}
Cursors
Cursoring employs a different strategy. To obtain the first page of
results, pass "cursor => -1". Twitter returns a reference to a hash that
includes entries "next_cursor", "previous_cursor", and an entry with a
reference to an array containing a page of the requested items. The key
for the array reference will be named "users", "ids", or something
similar depending upon the type of returned items. For example, when
"cursor" parameter is used with the "followers_ids" method, the returned
in hash entry "ids".
The "next_cursor" value can be used in a subsequent call to obtain the
next page of results. When you have obtained the last page of results,
"next_cursor" will be 0. Likewise, you can use the value for
"previous_cursor" to obtain the previous page of results. When you have
obtained the first page, "previous_cursor" will be 0.
Here's an example that demonstrates how to obtain all follower IDs in a
loop using the "cursor" parameter:
my @ids;
for ( my $cursor = -1, my $r; $cursor; $cursor = $r->{next_cursor} ) {
$r = $nt->followers_ids({ cursor => $cursor });
push @ids, @{ $r->{ids} };
}
Synthetic Arguments
In addition to the arguments described in the Twitter API Documentation
for each API method, Net::Twitter supports additional *synthetic*
arguments.
-authenticate
When set to 1, Net::Twitter will provide an Authorization header for
the API call; when set to 0, it will suppress the Authentication
header. This argument overrides the defined authentication behavior
for the API method. It is probably only useful for the
"rate_limit_status" method which returns different values for
authenticated and unauthenticated calls. See "AUTHENTICATION" for
more details.
-since
API methods that accept the "since_id" argument will also accept the
synthetic "-since" argument, instead. "-since" may be a "Date::Time"
object, an epoch time (the number of seconds since the system
epoch), or a string in the same format returned by Twitter for the
"created_at" attribute. Only statuses with a "created_at" time
greater than "-since" will be returned by the API call.
-legacy_lists_api
This option is only effective when the legacy "API::Lists" trait is
applied. Passing "-legacy_lists_api" set to 0 for lists methods will
use the new lists endpoints and semantics. This will facilitate
upgrading an application to use the new lists api methods. When the
"API::Lists" trait is not applied, this option is ignored.
REST API Methods
These methods are provided when trait "API::RESTv1_1" is included in the
"traits" option to "new".
Common Parameters
id Several of these methods accept a user ID as the "id" parameter. The
user ID can be either a screen name, or the users numeric ID. To
disambiguate, use the "screen_name" or "user_id" parameters,
instead.
For example, These calls are equivalent:
$nt->create_friend('perl_api'); # screen name
$nt->create_friend(1564061); # numeric ID
$nt->create_friend({ id => 'perl_api' });
$nt->create_friend({ screen_name => 'perl_api' });
$nt->create_friend({ user_id => 1564061 });
However user_id 911 and screen_name 911 are separate Twitter
accounts. These calls are NOT equivalent:
$nt->create_friend(911); # interpreted as screen name
$nt->create_friend({ user_id => 911 }); # screen name: richellis
Whenever the "id" parameter is required and "user_id" and
"screen_name" are also parameters, using any one of them satisfies
the requirement.
skip_user
The timeline methods all accept an optional "skip_user" parameter.
When set to a true value, the statuses returned in a timeline will
not contain an entire embedded user HASH. Instead, the user node
will contain only an "id" element to indicate the numerical ID of
the Twitter user that sent the status.

friendship_exists(user_a, user_b)
alias: relationship_exists
alias: follows
Parameters: user_id_a, user_id_b, screen_name_a, screen_name_b,
user_a, user_b
Required: user_a, user_b
This method is provided for backwards compatibility with Twitter API
V1.0. Twitter API V1.1 does not provide an endpoint for this call.
Instead, "show_friendship" is called, the result is inspected, and
an appropriate value is returned which can be evaluated in a boolean
context.
Tests for the existence of friendship between two users. Will return
true if user_a follows user_b, otherwise will return false.
Use of "user_a" and "user_b" is deprecated. It has been preserved
for backwards compatibility, and is used for the two-argument
positional form:
$nt->friendship_exists($user_a, $user_b);
Instead, you should use one of the named argument forms:
$nt->friendship_exists({ user_id_a => $id1, user_id_b => $id2 });
$nt->friendship_exists({ screen_name_a => $name1, screen_name_b => $name2 });
Consider using "show_friendship" instead.
Returns: Bool
friendships_incoming
alias: incoming_friendships
Parameters: cursor, stringify_ids
Required: *none*
Returns an HASH ref with an array of numeric IDs in the "ids"
element for every user who has a pending request to follow the
authenticating user.
Returns: HashRef
Twitter API documentation: GET friendships/incoming
<https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/friendships/incoming>
friendships_outgoing
alias: outgoing_friendships
Parameters: cursor, stringify_ids
Required: *none*
Returns an HASH ref with an array of numeric IDs in the "ids"
element for every protected user for whom the authenticating user
has a pending follow request.
Returns: HashRef
Twitter API documentation: GET friendships/outgoing
<https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/friendships/outgoing>
geo_id
geo_id(place_id)
Parameters: place_id
Required: place_id
Returns details of a place returned from the "reverse_geocode"
method.
Returns: HashRef
Twitter API documentation: GET geo/id/:place_id
<https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/geo/id/:place_id>
geo_search
Parameters: lat, long, query, ip, granularity, accuracy,
max_results, contained_within, attribute:street_address, callback
Required: *none*
Search for places that can be attached to a statuses/update. Given a
latitude and a longitude pair, an IP address, or a name, this
request will return a list of all the valid places that can be used
as the place_id when updating a status.
Conceptually, a query can be made from the user's location, retrieve
a list of places, have the user validate the location he or she is
at, and then send the ID of this location with a call to
statuses/update.
This is the recommended method to use find places that can be
attached to statuses/update. Unlike geo/reverse_geocode which
provides raw data access, this endpoint can potentially re-order
places with regards to the user who is authenticated. This approach
is also preferred for interactive place matching with the user.
Returns: HashRef
Twitter API documentation: GET geo/search
<https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/geo/search>
get_configuration
Parameters: *none*
Required: *none*

Twitter API documentation: GET help/configuration
<https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/help/configuration>
get_languages
Parameters: *none*

get_lists
alias: list_lists
alias: all_subscriptions
Parameters: user_id, screen_name, reverse
Required: *none*
Returns all lists the authenticating or specified user subscribes
to, including their own. The user is specified using the user_id or
screen_name parameters. If no user is given, the authenticating user
is used.
A maximum of 100 results will be returned by this call. Subscribed
lists are returned first, followed by owned lists. This means that
if a user subscribes to 90 lists and owns 20 lists, this method
returns 90 subscriptions and 10 owned lists. The reverse method
returns owned lists first, so with "reverse =" 1>, 20 owned lists
and 80 subscriptions would be returned. If your goal is to obtain
every list a user owns or subscribes to, use <list_ownerships>
and/or "list_subscriptions" instead.

reverse_geocode
reverse_geocode(lat, long)
Parameters: lat, long, accuracy, granularity, max_results, callback
Required: lat, long
Search for places (cities and neighborhoods) that can be attached to
a statuses/update. Given a latitude and a longitude, return a list
of all the valid places that can be used as a place_id when updating
a status. Conceptually, a query can be made from the user's
location, retrieve a list of places, have the user validate the
location he or she is at, and then send the ID of this location up
with a call to statuses/update.
There are multiple granularities of places that can be returned --
"neighborhoods", "cities", etc. At this time, only United States
data is available through this method.
lat Required. The latitude to query about. Valid ranges are -90.0 to
+90.0 (North is positive) inclusive.
long
Required. The longitude to query about. Valid ranges are -180.0
to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive.
accuracy
Optional. A hint on the "region" in which to search. If a
number, then this is a radius in meters, but it can also take a
string that is suffixed with ft to specify feet. If this is not
passed in, then it is assumed to be 0m. If coming from a device,
in practice, this value is whatever accuracy the device has
measuring its location (whether it be coming from a GPS, WiFi
triangulation, etc.).
granularity
Optional. The minimal granularity of data to return. If this is
not passed in, then "neighborhood" is assumed. "city" can also
be passed.
max_results
Optional. A hint as to the number of results to return. This
does not guarantee that the number of results returned will
equal max_results, but instead informs how many "nearby" results
to return. Ideally, only pass in the number of places you intend
to display to the user here.

update_with_media DEPRECATED
update_with_media(status, media[])
Parameters: status, media[], possibly_sensitive,
in_reply_to_status_id, lat, long, place_id, display_coordinates
Required: status, media[]
Updates the authenticating user's status and attaches media for
upload.
Note that Twitter has marked this endpoint as deprecated, and
recommends instead calling "upload", then (optionally)
"create_media_metadata", then "update".
The "media[]" parameter is an arrayref with the following
interpretation:
[ $file ]
[ $file, $filename ]
[ $file, $filename, Content_Type => $mime_type ]
[ undef, $filename, Content_Type => $mime_type, Content => $raw_image_data ]
The first value of the array ($file) is the name of a file to open.
The second value ($filename) is the name given to Twitter for the
file. If $filename is not provided, the basename portion of $file is

$raw_image_data can be provided, rather than opening a file, by
passing "undef" as the first array value.
The Tweet text will be rewritten to include the media URL(s), which
will reduce the number of characters allowed in the Tweet text. If
the URL(s) cannot be appended without text truncation, the tweet
will be rejected and this method will return an HTTP 403 error.
Returns: Status
upload
upload(media)

Search API Methods
These methods are provided when trait "API::Search" is included in the
"traits" option to "new".
search
search(q)
Parameters: q, geocode, lang, locale, result_type, count, until,
since_id, max_id, include_entities, callback
Required: q
Returns a HASH reference with some meta-data about the query
including the "next_page", "refresh_url", and "max_id". The statuses
are returned in "results". To iterate over the results, use
something similar to:
my $r = $nt->search($search_term);
my $r = $nt->search({ q => $search_term, count => 10 })
for my $status ( @{$r->{results}} ) {
print "$status->{text}\n";
}
Returns: HashRef
Lists API Methods
The original Lists API methods have been deprecated.
Net::Twitter::Role::API::Lists provides backwards compatibility for code
written using those deprecated methods. If you're not already using the
"API::Lists" trait, don't! Use the lists methods described above.
If you are using the "API::Lists" trait, you should remove it from your
code and change the arguments in your list API method calls to match
those described above.
Also, if using the "API::Lists" trait, you can pass synthetic argument
"-legacy_lists_api" set to 0 for individual calls to use the new
endpoints semantics.
TwitterVision API Methods
These methods are provided when trait "API::TwitterVision" is included
in the "traits" option to "new".
current_status
current_status(id)
Parameters: id, callback
Required: id
Get the current location and status of a user.
Returns: HashRef
update_twittervision
update_twittervision(location)
Parameters: location
Required: location
Updates the location for the authenticated user.
Returns: HashRef
LEGACY COMPATIBILITY
This version of "Net::Twitter" automatically includes the "Legacy" trait
if no "traits" option is provided to "new". Therefore, these 2 calls are
currently equivalent:
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(username => $user, password => $passwd);
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(
username => $user,
password => $passwd,
traits => ['Legacy'],
);
Thus, existing applications written for a prior version of
"Net::Twitter" should continue to run, without modification, with this
version.
In a future release, the default traits may change. Prior to that
change, however, a nearer future version will add a warning if no
"traits" option is provided to "new". To avoid this warning, add an
appropriate "traits" option to your existing application code.
ERROR HANDLING
There are currently two strategies for handling errors: throwing
exceptions and wrapping errors. Exception handling is the newer,
recommended strategy.
Wrapping Errors
When trait "WrapError" is specified (or "Legacy", which includes trait
"WrapError"), "Net::Twitter" returns undef on error. To retrieve
information about the error, use methods "http_code", "http_message",
and "get_error". These methods are described in the
Net::Twitter::Role::WrapError.
if ( my $followers = $nt->followers ) {
for my $follower ( @$followers ) {
#...
}
}
else {
warn "HTTP message: ", $nt->http_message, "\n";
}
Since an error is stored in the object instance, this error handling
strategy is problematic when using a user agent like
"LWP::UserAgent::POE" that provides concurrent requests. The error for
one request can be overwritten by a concurrent request before you have
an opportunity to access it.
Exception Handling
When "Net::Twitter" encounters a Twitter API error or a network error,
it throws a "Net::Twitter::Error" object. You can catch and process
these exceptions by using "eval" blocks and testing $@:
eval {
my $statuses = $nt->friends_timeline(); # this might die!
for my $status ( @$statuses ) {
#...
}
};
if ( $@ ) {
# friends_timeline encountered an error
if ( blessed $@ && $@->isa('Net::Twitter::Error') ) {
#... use the thrown error obj
warn $@->error;
}
else {
# something bad happened!
die $@;
}
}
"Net::Twitter::Error" stringifies to something reasonable, so if you
don't need detailed error information, you can simply treat $@ as a
string:
eval { $nt->update($status) };
if ( $@ ) {
warn "update failed because: $@\n";
}
FAQ
Why does "->followers({ screen_name => $friend })" return *my* followers
instead of $friends's?
First, check carefully to make sure you've spelled "screen_name"
correctly. Twitter sometimes discards parameters it doesn't
recognize. In this case, the result is a list of your own
followers---the same thing that would happen if you called
"followers" without the "screen_name" parameter.
How do I use the "geocode" parameter in the Search API?
The "geocode" parameter value includes a latitude, longitude, and
radius separated with commas.
$r = $nt->search({ geocode => "45.511795,-122.675629,25mi" });
How do I get Twitter to display something other than "from Perl
Net::Twitter"?
If you set the source parameter to "api", twitter will display "from
API", and if you set it to the empty string, twitter will display,
"from web".
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(netrc => 1,legacy => 0,ssl => 1,source => 'api');
$nt->update('A post with the source parameter overridden.');
# result: http://twitter.com/semifor_test/status/6541105458
$nt = Net::Twitter->new(netrc => 1,legacy => 0,ssl => 1,source => '');
$nt->update('A post with the source parameter overridden.');
# result: http://twitter.com/semifor_test/status/6541257224
If you want something other than "Net::Twitter", "API", or "web",
you need to register an application and use OAuth authentication. If
you do that, you can have any name you choose for the application
printed as the source. Since rolling out OAuth, Twitter has stopped
issuing new registered source parameters, only existing register
source parameters are valid.
