I have a web API written Go, I would like to use it to consume the Twitter API and return some properties from a user's timeline.
I have added https://github.com/ChimeraCoder/anaconda to my web API, however I cannot understand from the docs just how to get a timeline for a user.
This is my application currently.
I am trying to use the FeedHandler
method. I can trigger a search, but when it comes to actually returning a user's timeline, I am stuck.
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"os"
"github.com/ChimeraCoder/anaconda"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
type Meta struct {
Description string `json:"description"`
Version string `json:"version"`
Bugs GitHubLink `json:"bugs"`
}
type GitHubLink struct {
Url string `json:"url"`
}
type ErrorMessage struct {
Status int `json:"status"`
Message string `json:"message"`
}
var (
consumerKey = getenv("TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY")
consumerSecret = getenv("TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET")
)
func getenv(name string) string {
v := os.Getenv(name)
if v == "" {
panic("required environment variable " + name + "is missing")
}
return v
}
func main() {
anaconda.SetConsumerKey(consumerKey)
anaconda.SetConsumerSecret(consumerSecret)
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/", HomeHandler)
r.HandleFunc("/feed/{screenName}", FeedHandler)
r.HandleFunc("/healthz", HealthzHandler)
r.NotFoundHandler = http.HandlerFunc(NotFoundHandler)
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8000", r))
}
func HomeHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
meta := Meta{
Description: "API returning twitter.com posted images",
Version: "0.0.0",
Bugs: GitHubLink{Url: "https://foo.bar"}}
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(meta)
}
func FeedHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
api := anaconda.NewTwitterApi("", "")
// vars := mux.Vars(r)
tweets := api.GetUserTimeline('<users_screen_name>')
// searchResult, _ := api.
// for _, tweet := range searchResult.Statuses {
// fmt.Println(tweet.Text)
// }
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Not Implemented Yet")
}
func HealthzHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Header().Set("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, max-age=0")
}
func NotFoundHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusNotFound)
errorMessage := ErrorMessage{Status: 404, Message: "Request resource does not exist"}
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(errorMessage)
}
