Twitter API package with conduit interface and Streaming API support.

This package provides bindings to Twitter's APIs (see https://dev.twitter.com/).

This package uses the http-conduit package for accessing the Twitter API (see http://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-conduit). This package also depends on the twitter-types package (see http://hackage.haskell.org/package/twitter-types).

You can find basic examples in the https://github.com/himura/twitter-conduit/tree/master/sample directory.

This package is under development. If you find something that has not been implemented yet, please send a pull request or open an issue on GitHub.

twitter-conduit: An Conduit based Twitter API library for Haskell

About

This is an conduit based Twitter API library for Haskell, including Streaming API supports.

Documentation is available in hackage.

Quick Start

For a runnable example, see sample/simple.hs. You can find other various examples in sample directory.

Run Samples

Build

Building with Cabal

$ cabal v2-build all

Building with Stack

To build with Stack, you should create top-level stack.yaml file first. An example of stack.yaml is like below:

resolver: lts-18.12
packages:
- .
- sample
extra-deps:
- twitter-types-0.11.0
- twitter-types-lens-0.11.0

then, run stack.

$ stack build

Run

First, you must obtain consumer key and secret from Twitter Application Management page, and you have to set those values to environment variables as shown below:

$ export OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY="YOUR APPLICATION CONSUMER KEY"
$ export OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET="YOUR APPLICATION CONSUMER SECRET"

Before you run examples, you must prepare OAuth access token and secret. You can obtain access token and secret by using either PIN or web callback.

If you would like to use the PIN method, you run simply as below, and follow instructions:

$ cabal run oauth_pin

On the other hand, If you would like to use the callback method, do as follows:

$ cabal run oauth_callback

and open http://localhost:3000/signIn in your browser.

In both cases, you can obtain OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN and OAUTH_ACCESS_SECRET variables, then you should set those values to environment variables as shown below:

$ export OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR ACCESS TOKEN"
$ export OAUTH_ACCESS_SECRET="YOUR ACCESS SECRET"

Finally, you can access Twitter UserStream as follows:

$ cabal run userstream
