Posted by agiletortoise, Last update over 1 year ago

NOTE: This action no longer functions due to policy changes at Twitter that are out of our control. Visit the Twitter integration guide for details.

Prompt for a Twitter handle, the request a list of their recent likes from the Twitter API. Build a Markdown version of those tweets, put them in a new draft and open it in the editor.

Demonstrates use of the Twitter object request method to make arbitrary requests to the Twitter API.

    p.title = "Get Twitter Likes"
    p.message = "Enter twitter handle for the account who's likes you wish to download";
    
    p.addTextField("user", "User", screenName);
