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)
