A Ruby gem providing an interface to the X (Twitter) API v1.1, supporting actions like tweeting, following users, and reading timelines via OAuth-authenticated REST clients. The README recommends the newer X gem for new projects or API v2 support.
Use cases
- post tweets from a ruby app
- read a user's twitter timeline
- follow users programmatically on twitter
- integrate twitter api v1.1 into a ruby project
- build a twitter bot in ruby
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Ruby app already using the twitter gem
- you specifically need Twitter API v1.1 endpoints from Ruby
When to avoid
- you need Twitter/X API v2 support
- you are starting a new project (use the X gem instead)
