These examples should give a good idea of how to use the https://github.com/kurrik/twittergo client library.

First install the following dependencies:

go get -u github.com/kurrik/twittergo
go get -u github.com/kurrik/oauth1a

Then add a file called CREDENTIALS in this project root. The format of this file should be:

<Twitter consumer key>
<Twitter consumer secret>
<Twitter access token>
<Twitter access token secret>

Note that some examples (like tweet) actually write to the API, so use a testing account!

To run an example:

go run <path to example>/main.go

The simplest example is probably verify_credentials. This calls an endpoint which will return the current user if the request is signed correctly.

The Google App Engine examples are a bit more involved, mostly because you need to bundle a copy of the library with your app. To facilitate this I've chosen to utilize git submodules. After checking out this repo, run:

git submodule init
git submodule update

You may need to run git submodule update from time to time as I update the example to use a more current version of the library.

There are some dependencies you'll also need to satisfy. The following only need to be done once per machine:

brew install pkill
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
<Install Go dev appserver to ~/src/google_appengine_go>

Per-project:

cd <PROJECT_DIR>
npm install
grunt develop
