# A Dart wrapper for the Twitter API v1.1

[![pub](https://img.shields.io/pub/v/dart_twitter_api)](https://pub.dev/packages/dart_twitter_api)

![test](https://github.com/robertodoering/twitter_api/workflows/test/badge.svg?branch=master)

This dart package provides a well documented wrapper for the [Twitter v1.1

API](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1).

To access the v2 endpoints, check out [twitter-api-v2](https://github.com/twitter-dart/twitter-api-v2).

## Why use this package?

To make the usage as convenient and comfortable as possible, this package provides

interfaces for the various endpoints of the Twitter API. Documentation for each

request is available as dart docs and each request's parameters can be changed as

named parameters.

The various data structures returned by Twitter are parsed into data models in

an isolate.

## Example usage

![example](.media/example.png)

## Twitter API key

Get your Twitter API key

[here](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apply-for-access).

## Features

### Implemented endpoints

The implemented API endpoints are available as methods in the corresponding

service. The request parameters can be set through named parameters and the

response will be parsed into a data object for maximum convenience.

Find a list of implemented endpoints [here](https://github.com/robertodoering/twitter_api/wiki/Implemented-API-endpoints).

---

If an API endpoint is not yet implemented, a request can be made to that

endpoint by manually using the `TwitterClient` from the `TwitterApi` object.

See [Making a custom request to the Twitter

API](https://github.com/robertodoering/twitter_api/wiki/Making-a-custom-request-to-the-Twitter-API)

for an example.

### Error handling

Requests made by the client can throw the following errors:

* `TimeoutException` when a request hasn't returned a response for some time

  (defaults to 10s, can be changed in the `TwitterClient`).

* `Response` when the received response does not have a 2xx status code. Most

  responses include additional error information that can be parsed manually

  from the response's body. Check out the Twitter Developer documentation of

  the endpoint for possible error responses (Hyperlinked in the dart doc for

  each endpoint).

* Other unexpected errors in unlikely events (for example when parsing the

  response).

---

For an example of uploading media files to Twitter, see [Attaching media to a

Tweet](https://github.com/robertodoering/twitter_api/wiki/Attaching-media-to-a-Tweet).

## Development

### Contribution

I appreciate any contributions to this package. Any not yet implemented endpoints can

be added similarly to the other implementations. Feel free to reach out to me to ask any questions.

Please make sure `dartanalyzer` doesn't report any problems before opening a pull request.
