NAME RSS::From::Twitter - Convert Twitter page to RSS VERSION This document describes version 0.08 of RSS::From::Twitter (from Perl distribution RSS-From-Twitter), released on 2017-07-10. SYNOPSIS # Use command-line scripts get-rss-from-twitter{,-list,-search,-user} FUNCTIONS get_rss_from_twitter Usage: get_rss_from_twitter(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Convert Twitter page to RSS. In June 2013, Twitter retired the RSS v1 API (e.g. http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=blah, etc). However, its replacement, the v1.1 API, is not as straightforward to use (e.g. needs auth). This function scrapes the Twitter search result page (e.g. https://twitter.com/search?q=blah) and converts it to RSS. I wrote this because I have other scripts expecting RSS input. Expect breakage from time to time though, as scraping method is rather fragile. This function is not exported by default, but exportable. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * title => *str* RSS title. * ua => *obj* Supply a custom LWP::UserAgent object. If supplied, will be used instead of the default LWP::UserAgent object. * url* => *str* URL, e.g. https://twitter.com/foo or file:/test.html. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) get_rss_from_twitter_list Usage: get_rss_from_twitter_list(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Convert Twitter public list page to RSS.
