Deprecated Classes

winterwell.jtwitter.UserStream
There are bugs on Twitter's end -- the messages returned by this stream may not include all the messages to a user. The results vary from user to user!

Connect to the streaming API.

This class picks up the following tweets:
- Tweets by you
- Tweets that mention you
- Tweets by people you follow IF UserStream.setWithFollowings(boolean) is true.
- Retweets of your messages.
- Retweets made by you.

Duplicate messages may be delivered when reconnecting to the Streaming API. TODO test out url-signing over header-signing -- c.f. http://groups .google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread /thread/420c4b555198aa6c/f85e2507b7f65e39?pli=1 "figured it out on my own. must use HTTP GET with OAuth params passed in URI string. Not mentioned in the documentation. Wasted many hours figuring out this stuff would be clarified if someone updated the docs and made some examples."

winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.getUser(long)

winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.getUser(String)

winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.getUserTimelineWithRetweets(String)
Use Twitter.setIncludeRTs(boolean) instead to control retweet behaviour. Returns the most recent statuses posted by the given user. Unlike Twitter.getUserTimeline(String), this includes new-style retweets.

This will return 20 by default, though Twitter.setMaxResults(int) can be used to fetch multiple pages. There is a cap of 3200 tweets - this is the farthest back you can go down a user timeline!

This method will authenticate if it can (i.e. if the Twitter object has a username and password). Authentication is needed to see the posts of a private user.

winterwell.jtwitter.TwitterList(String, String, Twitter)
Due to the potential for confusion with TwitterList.TwitterList(String, Twitter, boolean, String) Use TwitterList.get(String, String, Twitter) instead.
