# twitter-kv

> Short lived key-value store using Twitter user feeds.

## Background

Sometimes you'd like to store a simple (key, value) mapping for a short time

using a service that's already running and is highly available -- like Twitter.

*No access tokens required!*

Since HTTP scraping is used under the hood in

[`latest-tweets`](https://github.com/noffle/latest-tweets), only the last couple

dozen tweets will be available, making this ideal for use as a transient store.

## Usage

```js

var resolve = require('twitter-kv')

resolve('noffle', 'test', function (err, value) {

  if (err) return console.log(err)

  console.log('value:', value)

})

```

This will look for a recent tweet in my timeline of the format

```

key = value

```

If it finds it -- let's say I have a tweet that says `foo = bar` -- I can expect

the following output

```

value: bar

```

## API

```js

var twitterKv = require('twitter-kv')

```

### resolve(user, key, cb)

Queries the twitter user feed for `user`, looking for an entry of the form `key

= value`. Calls `cb(err, value)` with the most recent value for `key`. Expect

`key` to be `null` if no value was found.

## Install

With [npm](https://npmjs.org/) installed, run

```

$ npm install twitter-kv

```
