Twitter Support #11

Closed onli closed 6 years ago

onli commented 7 years ago

It would be great to be able to import tweets from Twitters API, either from a search, a hashtag or from a profile.

Possible blocker for this is the state of twitters api, like https://dev.twitter.com/webhooks/account-activity being in beta and replacing user streams, also the rate limiting. Possible this would need to be combined with a profile feature to support entering a user api token.

This is a bigger development block and this issue might stay open for a long time.

There is now a twitter block. With it one can fetch tweets for search terms, hashtags and usernames. See https://www.pipes.digital/pipe/pVqajr9J for an example feed.

Rate limiting might be problematic in the future. In that case users should get the option to provide their own twitter api keys.
