I have previously used the following URL to access my tweets and embed them on a website:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/my_username.rss
It seems that just this morning though, I'm getting the following error:
Sorry, that page does not exist
Does anyone know what might have happened to this service, and what an alternative might be?
Try http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=USERNAME
It appears that this is a permanent change made by Twitter (see Twitter API's tweet)
Instead they're moving to a versioning system like below:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=twitter_username
By changing the user_timeline file extention you're able to receive the feed in different formats, IE:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitter_username
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitter_username

I understand you can get the specific url of a tweet using the Twitter API by creating a url like this
https://twitter.com/username/status/tweet-id
However, is it possible to get an image of a tweet?
I can get media images, but those are just images that people posted in the tweet. I want to know if it is possible to get an image of the tweet itself.
Twitter's API includes the ability to do this with oembed.
https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/oembed
See https://opensourcelibs.com/lib/tweets-as-an-image
This project provides an API for downloading tweets as images: https://tweets-as-an-image.herokuapp.com/tweet?twitterHandle={your_twitter_handle}&id={your_tweet_id}&theme={light_or_dark}&maxwidth={max_width_of_your_tweet_image}&height={height_of_the_image}&lang={language}
Fast forward to 2023 - none of the one above seems to be available anymore.
This library worked flawlessly for me. It is not an web API but works well and has good options:
https://github.com/Xacnio/tweetcapture
You can now get images or screenshots of tweets using the #aissistant handle on twitter.
Retweet any tweet with the comment "#aissistant #image" to get an image.
Retweet any tweet with the comment "#aissistant #screenshot" to get a screenshot.
For other options like converting to memes and jokes check out the handle.
Full disclosure: I am creator of the bot behind the handle.
I'm using the STTwitter wrapper to connect with Twitter and I'm running AppOnly and I'm able to retrieve the tweet text with no problems. I'm using the getStatusesUserTimelineForUserID method for that.
The problem is that I can't access "twitter_profile_url" or "profile_banner_url" but I can access text and tweet time and tweet ID perfectly fine.
I did however manage to get the twitter_profile_url by using the getUsersShowForUserID method.
My question is that am I doing something wrong when trying to access twitter_profile_url with getStatusesUserTimelineForUserID? I looked over Twitter's documents and I think the reason why getUsersShowForUserID works is because of the includeEntities property. I'm not 100% sure on that so I was wondering if someone could clarify that for me?
The endpoint statuses/user_timeline.json returns a list of tweets.
Each of these tweets has a user dictionary, and this dictionary should have keys such as profile_image_url, profile_image_url_https, profile_banner_url, profile_background_image_url or profile_background_image_url_https.
So yes, it should be working, and if not then please open an issue on STTwitter project and post the exact code you're using.
I'm creating an app where i would like to display video result from the YouTube site.
However, i do not want the user to register for this.
After i registered my app, and allowed "YouTube Data Api", Still when i'm calling from my app:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=3&order=relevance&q=test®ionCode=AR&type=video&key={MyKey}
I'm getting back "forbidden (403)"
This issue suppose to be really simple, but i'm really straggling to get this to work, i'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the new API version 3.0, that you can not search without authentication?
Any help would be much appreciated thanks.
You can use below URL for searching of youtube videos using version3
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=nokialumia&key=#"API _KEY"&maxResults=20&pageToken=0
For suggestions of you tube videos you can use below link. It will gives you the data in XML format. You can parse and get results.
http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&ds=yt&q=nokialumia
If you want to use Version 2 use below link
Youtube Search using version 2.0
Hope it helps you...!
What kind of results do you want to see? Views, comments, share, likes? I think that you are not able to see any results by Youtube Data Api or Youtube Analytics API V3 without a valid key. You can find all error codes and their meanings from this link.
I hope it helps.
I am trying to get twitter feeds in to my shopify site. I want to get the feeds and style them as I want and thus cant use a app.
I know how to do it using PHP but can not use that code in shopify and looking for a way I can use OAuth in shopify and get the feeds. I tried the shopify docs but without an example its kinda hard to actually get my head around it.
http://docs.shopify.com/api/tutorials/oauth
Thats the link I am using as a guide. If anyone can direct me to an example which might be similar that would be awesome. (google didnt seem to be that helpful this time either)
Cheers
I know you said you didn't want to use an app, but can I suggest taking a look at Twitify? You can use custom CSS to style your tweets. Also see discussions about Twitify here and here.
Twitter changed their display guidelines and policies on embedding of tweets on websites in June 2013. One of the themes I used for a client earlier in the year had custom styling of tweets, and they have now changed it to use the official Twitter widget to meet the new guidelines. In fact, the images on the Shopify theme store show how it used to look before Twitter changed things:
And after:
I think using an app like Twitify would be the easiest way to deal with these changes to embedding tweets.
Thanx for the suggestion. I did take a look at that before I posted this question. This is a project for a client and I dont think getting a plug in is a viable option. Anyways I found a work around.
Hosted the file on a server and then accessed it. So that resolved the problem. :)
I used node.js to write the script and get the posts as required.
Cheers.
you can use the app for that Twitify https://apps.shopify.com/twitify or you can Embed a Twitter feed in your online store
Go to your Twitter settings.
Click Widgets to open the widgets menu.
Create a new widget, following Twitter's instructions.
Copy the embed code.
I want to embed the latest image uploaded to yFrog for a particular user on another site. They appear to have recently launched a widget, and I've found some talk of RSS feeds. But everything relating to them seems to have been pulled from the yFrog site recently. Any ideas?
You should try implementing a Yahoo! Pipe using Twitter and yFrog API to generate an RSS. Here is mine: http://pipes.yahoo.com/norbertcsik/twitter_images
It looks like they used to support, but it doesn't look like it works anymore.
For evidence, see this and this.
