Support for Twitter API 1.1 #1

Closed alfjjacob closed 11 years ago

alfjjacob commented 11 years ago

Hello,

Is there any plan to support the new Twitter 1.1 api? Twitter Feed dashlet no longer works with the new API which requires authentication.

Any ideas/suggestions to modify the existing code to support it?

Thanks

The 1.1 API is now used instead of 1.0 in the latest code. Due to the authentication policy change, all dashlets now require the user to connect to Twitter before content can be shown.

I also noticed that the rate limits seem a little lower than they were for the 1.0. I hit these limits in my testing, but perhaps they will not be an issue during normal use. Please raise a new issue if you have problems with this, or any other issue.
