Introduction

A TypeScript SDK for the Twitter API. This library is built with TypeScript developers in mind, but it also works with JavaScript.

You can find examples of using the client in the examples/ directory

Note: Only Twitter API V2 is supported

Features

• Full type information for requests and responses
• OAuth2 support
• Supports Node.js 14+. Doesn't work in browser environments due to the Twitter API not supporting CORS

import { Client } from "twitter-api-sdk";
const client = new Client("MY-BEARER-TOKEN");

For more information about authentication go here

✨ Do you know @ChromeDevTools will auto detect and prefer the common test selectors like data-test-id, data-cy, data-qa, etc when recording your user flows?

These selectors make the recording more resilient to changes. Try it in Chrome Canary!

Pro tip 🔥

If you're building MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) into your app, make sure you add the autocomplete attribute.

Fun fact: npm package names such as "-", "g" or "D" are valid.

E.g. the "-" package has 25k weekly downloads and 184 dependents because people accidentally install it. 😱

These things really scare me. 😅
