An Erlang client for the Twitter Streaming API.

• A lightweight client which can consume the Twitter Streaming API (DONE).
• A client manager which allows you to change the search queries without losing any data (WIP).

You probably want to include it as a depedency in Rebar:

{deps,
  [
    {twerl, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/lucaspiller/twerl.git", "master"}},
  ]
}.

WIP

Generate auth headers:

Headers = stream_client_util:generate_auth_headers(TwitterUsername, TwitterPassword).

Generate params:

{ok, Params} = stream_client_util:keywords_to_track(["erlang"]).

Build a callback function:

Callback = fun(Data) ->
  Tweet = proplists:get_value(<<"text">>, Data),
  io:format("Erlang <3: ~s~n", [Tweet])
end.

Start streaming:

stream_client:connect(stream_client_util:filter_url(), Headers, Params, Callback).

Start an Erlang shell with reloader support:

make dev

Compile new code:

make compile

Run eunit tests:

make eunit
