go-twitter
Simple Twitter API client to send tweets.
Installation
go get github.com/irlndts/go-twitter
Usage
First of all your application requires Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.
Create your app here https://apps.twitter.com
Switch to Keys and Access Tokens and find Consumer Key and Consumer Secret there.
If you use the app by yourself only use Access Token and Access Token Secret from the same page.
func main(){
consumer := "consumer key"
secret := "consumer secret"
accessToken := "access token"
accessTokenSecret := "access token secret"
twitter, _ := twitter.NewClient(consumer, secret)
twitter.Token(accessToken, accessTokenSecret)
twitter.Update("Hello, twitter!")
}
If you want to allow other users use your app, you should ask them to authenticate
func main(){
consumer := "consumer key"
secret := "consumer secret"
twitter, _ := twitter.NewClient(consumer, secret)
// ask your client to visit the link, authorize app and receive authentication code
fmt.Printf("visit %s\n", twitter.OAuthAuthentificateURL())
// wait for the code
code := "12345"
twitter.AccessToken(code)
twitter.Update("Hello, twitter!")
}
