While the original tweet is this the output to IRC is truncated and is:

Is it possible to show all the tweets of a particular user and parse them when he tweets?
I'm looking for a script just to send a message to a chan when a particular user tweets

Regarding the truncated tweet: Updating the script to use extended tweet mode may solve that: https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/up ... -to-tweets

You'd need to find wherever it is making the HTTP requests to retrieve tweets and pass an additional argument of "tweet_mode=extended". The key in the tweet status then becomes "full_text" rather than "text", so you'd have to update that as well.

Regarding showing tweets of a particular user: You could set up a twitter account and follow the one user. Then any twitter script that outputs statuses as they come in on the timeline would probably work for you.

Can you elaborate how to do this?

OAuth failed error

Post by NewzNZ »

Hi all
Have been using the Birdy TCL script without issues for a long time now, but for the last week or so it's been returning this error in the partyline:

[02:24:30] OAuth failed: (???) Unknown problem... No reason given...( timeout )

Just wondering if anyone has/is having a similar issue?

Thanks in advance!

Mine does a similar thing - maybe it is a hangover from when Twitter used to restrict the number of characters per-tweet?
Just a thought though & I may be be totally wrong...
