A Scala library for the Twitter API: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api

The library is in Early Access, as the Twitter API v2 that it supports, expect changes in the API/ABI.

The REST API can be used in both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) modes, thanks to the sttp backend's selection that is up to the library's user.

The library uses the new API v2 endpoints where possible, with fallback to v1 endpoints where required.

Only a small subset of the Twitter functionalities have been implemented:

• REST API:

  • Get recent tweets
  • Login with Twitter flow
  • Get user by id/username
  • Send simple Direct Messages
  • Get/add/remove stream rules

• Streaming API

  • Stream tweets in real-time

The latest release of the library is compiled with Scala 2.13 only and supports all sttp backends.

If you're using SBT, add the following line to your build file:

libraryDependencies += "com.alexdupre" %% "twitter" % "<version>"

You can find many examples on how to use this library in the src/test/scala directory, and you can directly run them, after entering your credentials in the application.conf file.

Two notable examples are:

• GetAllRecentTweets, that shows how to handle paginated endpoints with a fold-like function
• StreamTweets, that shows how to stream tweets with the akka-backend
