twitter-api-ts

TypScript compatible Twitter API client.

• io-ts is used to perform IO validation for type safety.
• fp-ts is used for its Task, Either, and Option types.
• Request functions return types of type Response<T> = either.Either<ErrorResponse, T>.

This library is written in TypeScript and is published in JavaScript with type declaration files.

Installation

yarn add twitter-api-ts

Example

import { fetchHomeTimeline } from 'twitter-api-ts';
import * as option from 'fp-ts/lib/Option';

const CONSUMER_KEY = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY';
const CONSUMER_SECRET = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET';
const TOKEN = 'YOUR_TOKEN';
const TOKEN_SECRET = 'YOUR_TOKEN_SECRET';

fetchHomeTimeline({
    oAuth: {
        consumerKey: CONSUMER_KEY,
        consumerSecret: CONSUMER_SECRET,
        token: option.some(TOKEN),
        tokenSecret: option.some(TOKEN_SECRET),
    },
    query: {
        count: option.some(50),
    },
})
    // We use fp-ts’ Task type, which is lazy. Running the task returns a
    // promise.
    .run()
    .then(response => {
        console.log(response);
        // => Either<ErrorResponse, TwitterAPITimelineResponseT>
    });
