Twitter API and public user timelines

Hi,

I want to display tweets on a website. I want to customize how it looks and feels. i want to get the data for the websites tweets and display them. I have been reading the API documentation and it seems like i need to use external libraries and OAUTH. I am not to sure how to continue.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If any of you also have any ideas about a similar feat on soundcloud, please let me know

Hi,

that is what i am looking for!

however i think the format of the url is something like so

http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/MY_USERNAME.json?count=10

which in my case is

http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/bushbrigade.json?count=10 -> does not work i get error 34

I believe this access has been superseded with the release of v1.1

Hi M. Jayme Nagy,

Have you checked follow twitter doc link?
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline

Always specify either an user_id or screen_name when requesting a user timeline.
Check the parameter details on above link.

Hope this will Help you.
