About
The TwistedTwitterStream package provides an event-driven API for receiving Twitter <http://twitter.com>_ status updates through the asynchronous Twitter Streaming API <http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation>_.
The following methods are supported:
-
firehose <http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#statuses/firehose>_ -
retweet <http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#statuses/retweet>_ -
sample <http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#statuses/sample>_ -
filter <http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#statuses/filter>_
Notes
- A JSON parser is required. Like
json <http://docs.python.org/library/json.html>_ orsimplejson <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson/>_. - All methods will automatically reconnect to the server with an exponential back-off. See
t.i.p.ReconnectingClientFactory <http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.2.0/api/twisted.internet.protocol.ReconnectingClientFactory.html>_ for details. - All methods must be initialized with a consumer object, inherited from
TwistedTwitterStream.TweetReceiver - No proxy support.
