NAME
RSS::From::Twitter - Convert Twitter page to RSS
VERSION
This document describes version 0.08 of RSS::From::Twitter (from Perl distribution RSS-From-Twitter), released on 2017-07-10.
SYNOPSIS
# Use command-line scripts get-rss-from-twitter{,-list,-search,-user}FUNCTIONS
get_rss_from_twitter
Usage:
get_rss_from_twitter(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]Convert Twitter page to RSS.
In June 2013, Twitter retired the RSS v1 API (e.g. http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=blah, etc). However, its replacement, the v1.1 API, is not as straightforward to use (e.g. needs auth). This function scrapes the Twitter search result page (e.g. https://twitter.com/search?q=blah) and converts it to RSS. I wrote this because I have other scripts expecting RSS input.
Expect breakage from time to time though, as scraping method is rather fragile.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
