Para empezar, este tutorial está bastante bien:
http://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/twitter
Aquí el ejemplo de como enviar un tweet:
Código Ruby:
Ver originalrequire 'rubygems'
require 'oauth'
require 'json'
# You will need to set your application type to
# read/write on dev.twitter.com and regenerate your access
# token. Enter the new values here:
consumer_key = OAuth::Consumer.new(
"CONSUMER_KEY",
"CONSUMER_SECRET")
access_token = OAuth::Token.new(
"ACCESS_TOKEN",
"ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
# Note that the type of request has changed to POST.
# The request parameters have also moved to the body
# of the request instead of being put in the URL.
baseurl = "https://api.twitter.com"
path = "/1.1/statuses/update.json"
address = URI("#{baseurl}#{path}")
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new address.request_uri
request.set_form_data(
"status" => "Hola! soy un tweet!",
)
# Set up HTTP.
http = Net::HTTP.new address.host, address.port
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
# Issue the request.
request.oauth! http, consumer_key, access_token
http.start
response = http.request request
# Parse and print the Tweet if the response code was 200
tweet = nil
if response.code == '200' then
tweet = JSON.parse(response.body)
puts "Successfully sent #{tweet["text"]}"
else
puts "Could not send the Tweet! " +
"Code:#{response.code} Body:#{response.body}"
end
