Twitter4R: Open Source Ruby Library for Twitter REST API

[SP]

Just to inform Twitter developers that work in Ruby that the new
Twitter4R 0.1.1 Ruby Gem was just released. Version 0.2.0 will be
release within the next couple of business days also, which will see a
major change in API to declutter the Ruby library and allow it to
cover more of the Twitter REST API.

Features of Twitter4R version 0.1.1 include:
* public_timeline, friend_timeline, follower_statuses, update
* SSL support
* Proxy support
* 100% C0 code coverage using RSpec specifications.

The official website is at http://twitter4r.rubyforge.org

work.

Thanks,

A new release of Twitter4R (v0.2.0) is out which contains 100% of
Twitter REST API coverage (according to Twitter's docs). This is a
Ruby binding for Twitter's REST API.

My IRB experiment with the Twitter4r gem did not go so hot. I'm using
OS X and Locomotive, though that sholdn't matter at this point, from
IRB, it get the following:

irb(main):013:0> client = Twitter::Client.new(:login =>
'XXX', :password => 'XXX')
=> #<Twitter::Client:0x76e4c8 @login="XXX", @password="XXX">
irb(main):014:0> timeline = client.timeline_for(:public) do |status|
irb(main):015:1* puts "#{status.user.screen_name}: #{status.message}"
irb(main):016:1> end
NoMethodError: undefined method `message' for #<Twitter::Status:
0x75e0dc>
from (irb):15
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/twitter4r-0.2.2/lib/
twitter/client/timeline.rb:68:in `timeline_for'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/twitter4r-0.2.2/lib/
twitter/client/timeline.rb:68:in `timeline_for'
from (irb):14
irb(main):017:0>

Any ideas? Requiring the gem properly resulted in 'true' from the IRB
console, not sure if i have it installed correctly or what.

I look forward to using this gem once i can get it working :)

Sorry for the delay, it seems to be an issue with the example code.
Twitter::Status class has the following attributes: id, text,
created_at, user. If you substitute ".message" for ".text" the sample
code will work.

I will update the sample code now. Thanks and sorry for the
misinformation in the documentation. Also refer to http://twitter4r.rubyforge.org/
for more indepth documentation, where documentation is always updated
for the project with all minor releases.

Thanks,
SP

As part of the Twitter4R release cycle I am updating the Twitter
Development Talk page.

The new 0.2.5 version of Twitter4R now includes message paging
support, which was recently added to the Twitter REST API.
