Tweetinvi 5.0 is released - C# - .NET

[TweetinviApi]

Hello,

Tweetinvi 5.0 was released 2 weeks ago and I wanted to bring this up here.

Tweetinvi 5.0 has been a major refactor and took more than a year to build the new bases to help developers build faster more reliable software. Tweetinvi does not just offer a simple interface to the API but also provide tools to simplify the development by offering solutions for:

• RateLimits management
• Simplified authentication process
• Error Management
• Unified cursors - instead of handling 4 type of cursors which varies based on the endpoint
• Simple management of streams
• Powerful filtered stream tools
• Advanced support of Account Activity
• Highly tested
• Detailed documentation
• And many more…

Here are few code examples:

var authenticatedUser = await client.Users.GetAuthenticatedUserAsync();

var tweet = await client.Tweets.PublishTweetAsync("Hello tweetinvi world!");

var homeTimeline = await client.Timelines.GetHomeTimelineAsync();

// create a stream and listen to event
var sampleStream = client.Streams.CreateSampleStream();
sampleStream.TweetReceived += (s, args) => { Console.WriteLine(args.Tweet); };
await sampleStream.StartAsync();

Tweetinvi 5.0 now supports all the public Twitter API V2 so if you have never tried Tweetinvi it is time do it!
You can find the library on nuget: dotnet add package TweetinviAPI

Cheers,
Linvi

Hey @TweetinviApi,

I want to thank you here for all the things you’ve done for the .net (c#) Twitter community for years. I’ve been using Tweetinvi in our projects, and I’m very grateful for the developers like you taking their time keeping us on track!

Keep up the good work

Atakan

The path from version 4 to 5 is a steep step. Almost nothing works (like before). Is there a breaking change documentation somewhere?

[TweetinviApi]

Hi @midlifechrysler

I know this is a large breaking change. It was required because mainly because of the underlying behaviour of the SynchronizationContext with the async/await patterns and the different platforms implementations.

I appreciated that changing the code might not be trivial but most of the changes should only involve passing by a TwitterClient and calling the similar api.

For example:

// Tweetinvi 4.0
var tweet = Tweet.PublishTweet("My first tweet with Tweetinvi!");

// Tweetinvi 5.0
var tweet = await userClient.Tweets.PublishTweetAsync("My first tweet with Tweetinvi!");

I have taken a lot of time to build up the documentation for V5 to help the developers as well as reducing the learning curve. So please check it out here.

Thanks a lot for your response! The TwitterClient concept is very clear and helpful. Getting the authenticated user is no problem.
But I cannot create a user from a username or id,
Your sample is:

var tweetinviUser = await client.Users.GetUserAsync("tweetinviapi");

This throws: "cannot convert from ‘string’ to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable
The signature for this function is: Task<IUser> GetUsersAsync(IEnumerable usernames);
So I tried

user = await userClient.Users.GetUsersAsync(new string[] { "tweetinviapi"});

but this throws: CS0029 Cannot implicitly convert type ‘Tweetinvi.Models.IUser’ to ‘Tweetinvi.Models.IAuthenticatedUser’
Maybe I have messed up something in Linqpad, e.g. mix of older TweetInvi and 5.02?

But I can get tweets (for the authenticated user) without problems via

ISearchClient searchClient = new SearchClient(userClient);
var result = await userClient.Search.SearchTweetsAsync("Trump");
result.FirstOrDefault().FullText.Dump();

So how do I get a user by name?
Thanks in advance!!

@midlifechrysler

var tweetinviUser = await client.Users.GetUserAsync(“tweetinviapi”);

I have just tried this code and it works properly on my side.
I would suggest to open an issue on github just to make sure I can reproduce your problem and fix it if there is one.

Hi,

Thank you so much for the great work and documentation. I am currently trying to consume the Twitter sample stream api V2 using dotnet core 6.

I’m following the simple example from the docs:

// create a stream and listen to event
var sampleStream = client.StreamsV2.CreateSampleStream();

sampleStream.TweetReceived += (s, args) => { Console.WriteLine(args.Tweet); };

// start the stream
await sampleStream.StartAsync();

But am getting a exception of type TwitterException with the following details:
Any ideal what am doing wrong?

Exception:

Thanks
