Codebird.js is not working when I try to return a list of n number of tweets by adding to my params object.
It works when I include just the property screen_name to get a single tweet but when I add count in, as below, the response I get is still for only one tweet
params = {
"screen_name": screenName,
"count": "3"
};
I can't seem to find any codebird.js documentation besides the README.MD on the main github page.
Is my syntax correct? Am I approaching this the correct way by adding to params
Solved it. Turns out I was using the wrong api endpoint and should have been using statuses/user_timeline.
Note: Check this part of the docs to see how to map this endpoint's string to the right format https://github.com/jublonet/codebird-js#mapping-api-methods-to-codebird-function-calls
I am new to web development and am trying to make a very simple search page that displays YouTube videos using the YouTube API. I've been following the examples from here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/javascript?hl=fr#search_by_keyword
but I'm not having a lot of luck. I have no errors but no search results either.
My current code is here: http://amalthea5.github.io/thinkful-tube/
There seems to be several problems.
You need to use
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=googleApiClientReady"></script>
instead of
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=onClientLoad" type="text/javascript"></script>
because you need to make sure the initialization function googleApiClientReady() in auth.js is called.
However, the Google API also reports that there exists no OAuth client with the ID trusty-sentinel-92304.
Edit:
If don't have an OAuth client ID, but rather an API key, you shouldn't use the auth API at all. Instead, you need to add the API key as parameter to each API call (as described here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/standard_parameters).
Try this as a start:
gapi.client.load('youtube', 'v3', function() {
var request = gapi.client.youtube.search.list({
key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
q: "cats",
part: 'snippet'
});
request.execute(function(response) {
var str = JSON.stringify(response.result);
console.log(str);
});
});
To begin with if you read the very tutorial you are following again, it says that:
Again, you need to update the client ID in the auth.js file to run this code.
Which looks like you didnt,
also by running a search query from the console I get the following error:
TypeError: gapi.client.youtube is undefined
Meaning the api is not initiated, You should double check the way you embed the google javascript file and the priority of doing so (the order of them)
I wrote a small JavaScript a couple of years ago that grabbed a users (mine) most recent tweet and then parsed it out for display including links, date etc.
It used this json call to retrieve the tweets and it no longer works.
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/radfan.json
It now returns the error:
{"errors":[{"message":"Sorry, that page does not exist","code":34}]}
I have looked at using the api version (code below) but this requires authentication which I would rather avoid having to do as it is just to display my latest tweet on my website which is public anyway on my profile page:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/radfan.json
I haven't kept up with Twitter's API changes as I no longer really work with it, is there a way round this problem or is it no longer possible?
Previously the Search API was the only Twitter API that didn't require some form of OAuth. Now it does require auth.
Twitter's Search API is acquired from a third party acquisition - they rarely support it and are seemingly unenthused that it even exists. On top of that, there are many limitations to the payload, including but not limited to a severely reduced set of key:value pairs in the JSON or XML file you get back.
When I heard this, I was shocked. I spent a LONG time figuring out how to use the least amount of code to do a simple GET request (like displaying a timeline).
I decided to go the OAuth route to be able to ensure a relevant payload. You need a server-side language to do this. JavaScript is visible to end users, and thus it's a bad idea to include the necessary keys and secrets in a .js file.
I didn't want to use a big library so the answer for me was PHP and help from #Rivers' answer here. The answer below it by #lackovic10 describes how to include queries in your authentication.
I hope this helps others save time thinking about how to go about using Twitter's API with the new OAuth requirement.
You can access and scrape Twitter via advanced search without being logged in:
https://twitter.com/search-advanced
GET request
When performing a basic search request you get:
https://twitter.com/search?q=Babylon%205&src=typd
q (our query encoded)
src (assumed to be the source of the query, i.e. typed)
by default, Twitter returns top 25 results, but if you click on
all you can get the realtime tweets:
https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=Babylon%205&src=typd
JSON contents
More Tweets are loaded on the page via AJAX:
https://twitter.com/i/search/timeline?f=realtime&q=Babylon%205&src=typd&include_available_features=1&include_entities=1&last_note_ts=85&max_position=TWEET-553069642609344512-553159310448918528-BD1UO2FFu9QAAAAAAAAETAAAAAcAAAASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Use max_position to request the next tweets
The following json array returns all you need to scrape the contents:
https://twitter.com/i/search/timeline?f=realtime&q=Babylon%205&src=typd
has_more_items (bool)
items_html (html)
max_position (key)
refresh_cursor (key)
DOM elements
Here comes a list of DOM elements you can use to extract
The authors twitter handle
div.original-tweet[data-tweet-id]
The name of the author
div.original-tweet[data-name]
The user ID of the author
div.original-tweet[data-user-id]
Timestamp of the post
span._timestamp[data-time]
Timestamp of the post in ms
span._timestamp[data-time-ms]
Text of Tweet
p.tweet-text
Number of Retweets
span.ProfileTweet-action–retweet > span.ProfileTweet-actionCount[data-tweet-stat-count]
Number of Favo
span.ProfileTweet-action–favorite > span.ProfileTweet-actionCount[data-tweet-stat-count]

If you're still looking for unauthenticated tweets in JSON, this should work:
https://github.com/cosmocatalano/tweet-2-json
As you can see in the documentation, using the REST API you'll need OAuth Tokens in order to do this. Luckily, we can use the Search (which doesn't use OAuth) and use the from:[USERNAME] operator
Example:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from:marcofolio
Will give you a JSON object with tweets from that user, where
object.results[0]
will give you the last tweet.
Here is a quick hack (really a hack, should be used with caution as its not future proof) which uses http://anyorigin.com to scrape twitter site for the latest tweets.
http://codepen.io/JonOlick/pen/XJaXBd
It works by using anyorigin (you have to pay to use it) to grab the HTML. It then parses the HTML using jquery to extract out the relevant tweets.
Tweets on the mobile site use a div with the class .tweet-text, so this is pretty painless.
The relevant code looks like this:
$.getJSON('http://anyorigin.com/get?url=mobile.twitter.com/JonOlick&callback=?', function(data){
// Remap ... utf8 encoding to ascii.
var bar = data.contents;
bar = bar.replace(/…/g, '...');
var el = $( '<div></div>' );
el.html(bar);
// Change all links to point back at twitter
$('.twitter-atreply', el).each(function(i){
$(this).attr('href', "https://twitter.com" + $(this).attr('href'))
});
// For all tweets
$('.tweet-text', el).each(function(i){
// We only care about the first 4 tweets
if(i < 4) {
var foo = $(this).html();
$('#test').html($('#test').html() + "<div class=ProfileTweet><div class=ProfileTweet-contents>" + foo + "</div></div><br>");
}
});
});
You can use a Twitter API wrapper, such as TweetJS.com which offers a limited set of the Twitter API's functionality, but does not require authentication. It's called like this;
TweetJs.ListTweetsOnUserTimeline("PetrucciMusic",
function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
You can use the twitter api v1 to take the tweets without using OAuth. For example: this link turns #jack's last 100 tweets.
The timeline documentation is here.
The method "GET statuses/user_timeline" need a user Authentification like you can see on the official documentation :
You can use the search method "GET search" wich not require authentification.
You have a code for starting here : http://jsfiddle.net/73L4c/6/
function searchTwitter(query) {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://search.twitter.com/search.json?' + jQuery.param(query),
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(data) {
var tweets = $('#tweets');
tweets.html('');
for (res in data['results']) {
tweets.append('<div>' + data['results'][res]['from_user'] + ' wrote: <p>' + data['results'][res]['text'] + '</p></div><br />');
}
}
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function() {
var params = {
q: $('#query').val(),
rpp: 5
};
// alert(jQuery.param(params));
searchTwitter(params);
});
})
I am trying to search the Facebook API from my application using javascript FB.api(url, success function) and the JSON object that comes back contains the error: "Search queries are unsupported for this connection."
The url I'm using is: "https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=Bamboo&type=page&access_token=", which works when I'm testing it in browser
Why is my search unsupported???
The problem is your url. You only put your graph api command in the url parameter, thus the "https://graph.facebook.com" shouldn't be included.
For using the search call,
var urlCall = "/search?q=Bamboo&type=page&access_token=";
FB.api(urlCall, function(response) {
//you code to execute
});
and not the following
url = "https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=Bamboo&type=page&access_token="
I am using Javascript MVC models separately from JMVC (just as a jquery plugin).
Everything works fine, instead of overriding REST URLs. Look:
I am trying to override URL to retrieve data from server.
But it still tries to load data from URL "/Tags.json" instead of "/t.json".
$.Model.extend("Tag",
{
findAll: "/t.json" //overriding URL for findAll (just like in the manual)
});
$(function(){
Tag.findAll({}); //loads '/Tags.json' instead of 't.json'
})
Is it a bug?
$.Model("Tag",{
findAll : "/t.json"
},{})
You need to call $.Model not $.Model.extend
