TweetStream is a Ruby library providing simple EventMachine-based access to Twitter's Streaming API. It supports sample streams, keyword tracking, user following, user streams, and Site Streams with OAuth authentication.
Use cases
- consume a sample of all tweets in real time
- track tweets matching specific keywords
- follow tweets from a set of user ids
- consume Twitter user streams
- consume Twitter Site Streams for multiple accounts
When to choose
- you are building a Ruby application that needs real-time Twitter data
- you want an EventMachine-based streaming client with OAuth support
- you already use the Twitter gem and want compatible objects
When to avoid
- you need a client for a platform other than Twitter
- you are not using Ruby or EventMachine
- you need actively maintained support, as the project sees only occasional releases
