A simple twitter feed reader that shows the latest 10 tweets from @salesforce user timeline. The feed is updated every minute to reflect any new tweets on the timeline. The feed can also be filtered on a search query.
External APIs used: Front End: JQuery Underscore Backbone
Back End: twitter-api-php (courtesy James Mallison https://github.com/J7mbo)
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
This application's Front End has been created using Backbone for an MVC client-side architecture.
It has been registered on the Twitters developers site to use Application based authentication (no user sign-in required, credentials created for the application to be authenticated on the Twitter REST API with Read and Write permissions). Application credentials, screen name and count (of tweets) have been hard-coded for simplicity.
Supporting PHP wrapper twitter-api-php has been used to perform API requests in PHP.
EDIT (5/7) Added config.ini to hold Twitter API authorization parameters and the screen name, count for the GET user timeline request. (to improve code reusability)
