<td colspan=2><tt>A python interface into the Twitter API<br>
<br>
By default, the <a href="#Api">Api</a> caches results for 1 minute.<br>
<br>
Example usage:<br>
<br>
To create an instance of the twitter.<a href="#Api">Api</a> class, with no authentication:<br>
<br>
>>> import twitter<br>
>>> api = twitter.<a href="#Api">Api</a>()<br>
<br>
To fetch a single user's public status messages, where "user" is either<br>
a Twitter "short name" or their user id.<br>
<br>
>>> statuses = api.<a
href="#Api-GetUserTimeline">GetUserTimeline</a>(user)<br>
>>> print [s.text for s in statuses]<br>
<br>
To use authentication, instantiate the twitter.<a
href="#Api">Api</a> class with a<br>
consumer key and secret; and the oAuth key and secret:<br>
<br>
>>> api = twitter.<a href="#Api">Api</a>(consumer_key='twitter consumer key',<br>
consumer_secret='twitter consumer secret',<br>
access_token_key='the_key_given',<br>
access_token_secret='the_key_secret')<br>
<br>
To fetch your friends (after being authenticated):<br>
<br>
>>> users = api.<a href="#Api-GetFriends">GetFriends</a>()<br>
>>> print [u.name for u in users]<br>
<br>
To post a twitter status message (after being authenticated):<br>
<br>
>>> status = api.<a href="#Api-PostUpdate">PostUpdate</a>('I love python-twitter!')<br>
>>> print status.text<br>
I love python-twitter!<br>
<br>
There are many other methods, including:<br>
<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-PostUpdates">PostUpdates</a>(status)<br>
>>> api.<a
href="#Api-PostDirectMessage">PostDirectMessage</a>(user, text)<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-GetUser">GetUser</a>(user)<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-GetReplies">GetReplies</a>()<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-GetUserTimeline">GetUserTimeline</a>(user)<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-GetStatus">GetStatus</a>(id)<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-DestroyStatus">DestroyStatus</a>(id)<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-GetFriends">GetFriends</a>(user)<br>
>>> api.<a href="#Api-GetFollowers">GetFollowers</a>()<br>
