Drafts Directory: Import Twitter Search

Action

Posted by agiletortoise, Last update 10 months 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 search query. Can be for any text string and supports the same syntax used in Twitter web search.

Use Twitter API to get a list of tweets matching the search and import them into a new draft as a Markdown list, with screen name and link to the tweet included.

Posted as an example of Twitter API use in Drafts.

// set identifier for Twitter credentials you wish to use
const twitterIdentifier = "";
let q = "";

let p = Prompt.create();
p.title = "Twitter Search";
p.message = "Entry search text below. Results will be imported into new draft in Markdown list format.";

p.addTextField("q", "Query", q);
p.addButton("Search");

if (!p.show()) {
	context.cancel();
}
else {
	q = p.fieldValues["q"];
}

script

// a few base values
const apiURL = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json";

let f = () => {
	let twitter = Twitter.create(twitterIdentifier);
	let content = [`### Twitter Search: ${q}`,""];
	
	let params = {
		"q": q
	}
	let response = twitter.request({
		"url": apiURL,
		"method": "GET",
		"parameters": params
	});
	if (response.statusCode == 200 || response.statusCode == 201) {
		let tweets = response.responseData.statuses;
		if (!tweets || tweets.length == 0) {
			alert("No tweets found.");
			context.cancel();
			return;
		}
		for (let tweet of tweets) {
			let id = tweet.id_str;
			let sn = tweet.user.screen_name;
			let tweetURL = `http://twitter.com/${sn}/status/${id}`;
			let text = tweet.text; 
			content.push(`- **@${sn}**: ${text} [link](${tweetURL})`);
