It really sucks you’re doing this.

#66

exactly the situation i’m in. I have big movie studio clients that I don’t feel comfortable creating apps that’re tied to my twitter account where i occasionally rant & rave about politics. So now i have to create a new account, set up a server stack with caching to do oAuth – THEN i can make my little customized twitter widget.

I notice now even with the embedded timeline, their out-of the box widget, I still have to attach something to my account. freakin lame!

#67

Why is it required to “register” a timeline in the first place? Were people abusing your widgets or something?

#68

This is pretty handy allright. Thanks for posting it. Do you know if there are any solutions knocking about for creating a RSS feed from search terms?
Not a developer, just someone who used to use a search RSS for monitoring and with some ifttt functions that will be a pain to try and work around.

Many thanks Jason - nice work

#70

Do u have any Code for using it with IOS ?

#71

Thank you :slight_smile: If you liked it please help others find my solution.

#72

RT’s are welcome to help others discover it :slight_smile:

#73

But i wonder how some application tab providers like woobox still fetch user tweets without authentication just like api 1.0… someone please clarify me… Thank you…

#74

Requiring authentication for public timelines is ridiculous.

#75

I mean it is still a free service & open for developers… just a few more hoops to jump through is all. I have a feeling this has a lot to do with found security flaws & possibly even twitter trying to lessen the capability of people viewing tweets without actually being on twitter.

#76

I’m so glad to see that I’m not alone in this. I posted this same question (without seeing this post actually, my bad) wondering why Twitter left us COMPLETELY out to dry on this one. All I want to do is replicate the functionality of the version 1 widget, where I can just grab some tweets from the public timeline and style them myself. The version 2 widget is a slightly-less-than-adequate solution. I really hope Twitter realizes how stupid it is to do it this way… like, soon.

@jason_mayes Your script does not work with Internet Explorer 8. This seems to be caused by “GetElementsByClassName” which is not supported by IE 8.

I tried fixing it by using querySelectorAll instead. It shows the twitter feeds, but i can’t specify how many tweets i want to show. It just always shows 20 tweets (max).

#78

I create WordPress themes, and now Twitter widget is broken in all of my themes - sure i can use oAuth, but do i need to explain each customer that he needs to create an Application in the Twitter Developers center to show his latest tweets? Really?

Dear makers of API v1.1,
go rub yourself.

Sincerely,
preturbed developer which has to update tons of client code for free >_>

Just realised that the Twitter RSS has stopped updating on my web site. And a number of Twitter widgets have stopped working on sites that use a Wordpress Twitter widget. I guess this is all down to this change.

What were Twitter thinking? How can this possibly benefit them?

Once again we learn the stupidity of relying on a single company’s products for an important part of our infrastructure :-/

#81

do you have javscript examples?

#82

Do you you know how to access a users home feed using oAuth in javascript? I am trying to display home feed.
