Installation

To install the package, use npm or yarn:

npm install twitter-client-typescript

or

yarn add twitter-client-typescript

Usage

Simple Example

To use the client, you will need to create an instance of the AsyncTwitterClient class and provide your RapidAPI key:

import { AsyncTwitterClient } from 'twitter-client-typescript';

const client = new AsyncTwitterClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });


// Use the client to make API calls
// Search for tweets
client.search('elon musk').then((response) => {
    result = response.data;
    console.log(result);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

// Get user details
client.userDetails('elonmusk').then((response) => {
    result = response.data;
    console.log(result);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

// Get user tweets
client.userTweets('elonmusk').then((response) => {
    result = response.data;
    console.log(result);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

Advanced Usage

AsyncTwitterClient class supports batch requests. You can make multiple requests in parallel and get the results in a single response. Here is an example:

import { AsyncTwitterClient } from 'twitter-client-typescript';

const client = new AsyncTwitterClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY", timeout: 10000 });

const users = ['elonmusk', 'BillGates', 'JeffBezos', 'tim_cook', 'satyanadella'];

// Create an array of promises
const promises = users.map((user) => client.userDetails(user));

// Make the requests in parallel
Promise.all(promises).then((responses) => {
    responses.forEach((response, index) => {
        console.log(users[index], response.data);
    });
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
});

Check Rate limit

You can check the rate limit of the API using the rateLimit method. AsyncTwitterClient has a rateLimit attribute that returns the rate limit details. It's updated after each request.

import { AsyncTwitterClient } from 'twitter-client-typescript';

const client = new AsyncTwitterClient({apiKey: 'YOUR_RAPID_API_KEY'});

// Get user details
client.userDetails('elonmusk').then((response) => {
    result = response.data;
    console.log(result);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

// Check rate limit
console.log(`Limit : ${client.rateLimit.limit}`);
console.log(`Remaining requests: ${client.rateLimit.remaining}`);
console.log(`Reset time: ${client.rateLimit.reset}`);
