We have an internal collaborators directory which I have been asked to expand with twitter information about the firms that we work with.

I have been trying to work out whether either of the following scenarios would require twitter sign-off.

  1. Include a button that opens the “@username” page for the selected firm (i.e. redirect)

  2. Embed the last 7 days tweets from “@username”
    (i.e. tutorials/explore-a-users-tweets)

At the moment I am assuming that 1) does not need approval but that 2) requires a development account and approval. Is that correct?

All usernames are in the public domain and are company level rather than individual.

In both cases, you can use the widgets available from publish.twitter.com to achieve these, and should not need a developer account or to use the API directly.

So I can take the embedded Timeline code generated by publish for @TwitterDev and recast it in vue.js to replace the username with the selected firm and that ok?

Something like (very roughly)

<a class="twitter-timeline"  :href=twitterLink>
  Tweets by TwitterDev
</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
data () {
  return {
    twitterLink: "https://twitter.com/" + firmTwitterHandle + "?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"
  }
}

I’m not a Vue expert, but in principle yes, something like that should work, assuming that the Twitter account is not protected.

Not to worry - the example was more or less pseudocode, but illustrated was enough to illustrate the question.
