How to update an existing app using the old API?

AronAmbrosiani · 2019-02-04T12:44:38.568Z

hi, are there any guides available on what is needed to upgrade an app using the old user stream API? Googling leads only to older articles pre-summer 2018 and the documentation on dev.twitter.com makes no sense to me

my existing bot using Twit (node wrapper for Twitter API):

github.com

Ambrosiani/Emojimuseet/blob/master/script/reply.js

'use strict';

const Images = require('../src/images');
const Twitter = require('../src/twitter');
const ReplyTweet = require('../src/tweets/reply_tweet');
const RequestTweet = require('../src/tweets/request_tweet');
//const Facebook = require('../src/facebook');

let stream = Twitter.stream();

stream.on('tweet', (payload) => {
  let request_tweet = new RequestTweet(payload);

  if (request_tweet.shouldReply()) {
    let image = new Images().getFromText(request_tweet.getText());
    if (!image) { return; }

    let reply_tweet = new ReplyTweet(request_tweet, image);
    Twitter.reply(reply_tweet);
  }

'use strict';

const Twit = require('twit');

const twit = new Twit({
  consumer_key: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
  consumer_secret: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET,
  access_token: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN,
  access_token_secret: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
});

const Twitter = {
  post: (status_tweet) => {
    update({ status: status_tweet.getText() });
  },

  reply: (reply_tweet) => {
    update({ status: reply_tweet.getText(), in_reply_to_status_id: reply_tweet.getInReplyToStatusID() });
  },

You’ll want to use the new Activity API instead of the old User Stream the guide is here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accounts-and-users/subscribe-account-activity/overview

It’s a very different way of doing things. Maybe this example app can help? https://github.com/twitterdev/SnowBotDev (it’s in ruby though)

thank you! In another conversation I was also advised to try https://glitch.com/~twitterbot-webhooks which is in node. Hopefully I can figure out the rest from there.
