NAME
Net::Twitter::Lite - A perl interface to the Twitter API
VERSION
version 0.12008
STOP!
You probably want Net::Twitter::Lite::WithAPIv1_1 which has support for Twitter API v1.1.
If you're using a service with an API compatible with Twitter's deprecated API v1, then
you're in the right place.
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Twitter::Lite;
my $nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(
username => $user,
password => $password
legacy_lists_api => 0,
);
my $result = eval { $nt->update('Hello, world!') };
eval {
my $statuses = $nt->friends_timeline({ since_id => $high_water, count => 100 });
for my $status ( @$statuses ) {
print "$status->{created_at} <$status->{user}{screen_name}> $status->{text}\n";
}
};
warn "$@\n" if $@;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a perl interface to the Twitter API v1.
It uses the same API definitions as Net::Twitter, but without the extra bells and whistles
and without the additional dependencies. Same great taste, less filling.
This module is related to, but is not part of the "Net::Twitter" distribution. It's API
methods and API method documentation are generated from "Net::Twitter"'s internals. It
exists for those who cannot, or prefer not to install Moose and its dependencies.
You should consider upgrading to "Net::Twitter" for additional functionality, finer
grained control over features, backwards compatibility with older versions of
"Net::Twitter", and additional error handling options.
CLIENT CODE CHANGES REQUIRED
Legacy Lists API
Twitter re-implemented the Lists API using new endpoints and semantics. For backwards
compatibility, this version of "Net::Twitter::Lite" defaults to the deprecated, legacy
endpoints and semantics. It issues a warning if the "legacy_lists_api" option to new is
not provided.
To enable the new Lists endpoints and semantics, pass "(legacy_lists_api =" 0)> to "new".
To disable the warning, and keep the backwards compatible endpoints and semantics, pass
"(legacy_lists_api =" 1)> to "new".
The "legacy_lists_api" option to "new" sets the default for all lists API method calls.
You can override the default an each API call by passing a "-legacy_lists_api" option set
to 1 or 0.
Support for "legacy_lists_api" option will be removed in a future version and the option
to "new" will be silently ignored.
netrc option
The default "apiurl" changed in version 0.08006. The change should be transparent to
client code, unless you're using the "netrc" option. If so, you'll need to either update
the ".netrc" entry and change the "machine" value from "twitter.com" to "api.twitter.com",
or set either the "netrc" or "netrc_machine" options to "twitter.com".
$nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(netrc_machine => 'twitter.com', netrc => 1);
# -or-
$nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(netrc => 'twitter.com');
OAuth requires callback parameter
Beginning with version 0.03, it is necessary for web applications using OAuth
authentication to pass the "callback" parameter to "get_authorization_url". In the
absence of a callback parameter, when the user authorizes the application a PIN number is
displayed rather than redirecting the user back to your site.
MIGRATING FROM NET::TWITTER 2.x
If you are migrating from Net::Twitter 2.12 (or an earlier version), you may need to make
some minor changes to your application code in order to user Net::Twitter::Lite
successfully.
The primary difference is in error handling. Net::Twitter::Lite throws exceptions on
error. It does not support the "get_error", "http_code", and "http_message" methods used
in Net::Twitter 2.12 and prior versions.
Instead of
# DON'T!
my $friends = $nt->friends();
if ( $friends ) {
# process $friends
}
wrap the API call in an eval block:
# DO!
my $friends = eval { $nt->friends() };
if ( $friends ) {
# process $friends
}
Here's a much more complex example taken from application code using Net::Twitter 2.12:
# DON'T!
my $friends = $nt->friends();
if ( $friends ) {
# process $friends
}
else {
my $error = $nt->get_error;
if ( ref $error ) {
if ( ref($error) eq 'HASH' && exists $error->{error} ) {
$error = $error->{error};
}
else {
$error = 'Unexpected error type ' . ref($error);
}
}
else {
$error = $nt->http_code() . ": " . $nt->http_message;
}
warn "$error\n";
}
The Net::Twitter::Lite equivalent is:
# DO!
eval {
my $friends = $nt->friends();
# process $friends
};
warn "$@\n" if $@;
return;
In Net::Twitter::Lite, an error can always be treated as a string. See
Net::Twitter::Lite::Error. The HTTP Status Code and HTTP Message are both available.
Rather than accessing them via the Net::Twitter::Lite instance, you access them via the
Net::Twitter::Lite::Error instance thrown as an error.
For example:
# DO!
eval {
my $friends = $nt->friends();
# process $friends
};
if ( my $error = $@ ) {
if ( blessed $error && $error->isa("Net::Twitter::Lite::Error)
&& $error->code() == 502 ) {
$error = "Fail Whale!";
}
warn "$error\n";
}
Unsupported Net::Twitter 2.12 options to "new"
Net::Twitter::Lite does not support the following Net::Twitter 2.12 options to "new". It
silently ignores them:
no_fallback
If Net::Twitter::Lite is unable to create an instance of the class specified in the
"useragent_class" option to "new", it dies, rather than falling back to an
LWP::UserAgent object. You really don't want a failure to create the
"useragent_class" you specified to go unnoticed.
twittervision
Net::Twitter::Lite does not support the TwitterVision API. Use Net::Twitter, instead,
if you need it.
skip_arg_validation
Net::Twitter::Lite does not API parameter validation. This is a feature. If Twitter
adds a new option to an API method, you can use it immediately by passing it in the
HASH ref to the API call.
Net::Twitter::Lite relies on Twitter to validate its own parameters. An appropriate
exception will be thrown if Twitter reports a parameter error.
die_on_validation
See "skip_arg_validation". If Twitter returns an bad parameter error, an appropriate
exception will be thrown.
arrayref_on_error
This option allowed the following idiom in Net::Twitter 2.12:
# DON'T!
for my $friend ( @{ $nt->friends() } ) {
# process $friend
}
The equivalent Net::Twitter::Lite code is:
# DO!
eval {
for my $friend ( @{ $nt->friends() } ) {
# process $friend
}
};
Unsupported Net::Twitter 2.12 methods
clone
The "clone" method was added to Net::Twitter 2.x to allow safe error handling in an
environment where concurrent requests are handled, for example, when using
LWP::UserAgent::POE as the "useragent_class". Since Net::Twitter::Lite throws
exceptions instead of stashing them in the Net::Twitter::Lite instance, it is safe in
a current request environment, obviating the need for "clone".
get_error
http_code
http_message
These methods are replaced by Net::Twitter::Lite::Error. An instance of that class is
thrown errors are encountered.
METHODS AND ARGUMENTS
new This constructs a "Net::Twitter::Lite" object. It takes several named parameters, all
of them optional:
username
This is the screen name or email used to authenticate with Twitter. Use this
option for Basic Authentication, only.
password
This is the password used to authenticate with Twitter. Use this option for Basic
Authentication, only.
consumer_key
A string containing the OAuth consumer key provided by Twitter when an application
is registered. Use this option for OAuth authentication, only.
consumer_secret
A string containing the OAuth consumer secret. Use this option for OAuth
authentication, only. the "OAuth" trait is included.
oauth_urls
A HASH ref of URLs to be used with OAuth authentication. Defaults to:
{
request_token_url => "http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
authorization_url => "http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize",
access_token_url => "http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
xauth_url => "https://twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
}
clientname
The value for the "X-Twitter-Client-Name" HTTP header. It defaults to "Perl
Net::Twitter::Lite".
clientver
The value for the "X-Twitter-Client-Version" HTTP header. It defaults to current
version of the "Net::Twitter::Lite" module.
clienturl
The value for the "X-Twitter-Client-URL" HTTP header. It defaults to the
search.cpan.org page for the "Net::Twitter::Lite" distribution.
useragent_class
The "LWP::UserAgent" compatible class used internally by "Net::Twitter::Lite". It
defaults to "LWP::UserAgent". For POE based applications, consider using
"LWP::UserAgent::POE".
useragent_args
An HASH ref of arguments to pass to constructor of the class specified with
"useragent_class", above. It defaults to {} (an empty HASH ref).
useragent
The value for "User-Agent" HTTP header. It defaults to
"Net::Twitter::Lite/0.11002 (Perl)".
source
The value used in the "source" parameter of API method calls. It is currently only
used in the "update" method in the REST API. It defaults to "twitterpm". This
results in the text "from Net::Twitter" rather than "from web" for status messages
posted from "Net::Twitter::Lite" when displayed via the Twitter web interface.
The value for this parameter is provided by Twitter when a Twitter application is
registered. See
<http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ#HowdoIget%E2%80%9CfromMyApp%E2%80%9DappendedtoupdatessentfrommyAPIapplication>.
apiurl
The URL for the Twitter API. This defaults to "http://twitter.com".
identica
If set to 1 (or any value that evaluates to true), apiurl defaults to
"http://identi.ca/api".
ssl If set to 1, an SSL connection will be used for all API calls. Defaults to 0.
netrc
(Optional) Sets the machine key to look up in ".netrc" to obtain credentials. If
set to 1, Net::Twitter::Lite will use the value of the "netrc_machine" option
(below).
# in .netrc
machine api.twitter.com
login YOUR_TWITTER_USER_NAME
password YOUR_TWITTER_PASSWORD
machine semifor.twitter.com
login semifor
password SUPERSECRET
# in your perl program
$nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(netrc => 1);
$nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(netrc => 'semifor.twitter.com');
netrc_machine
(Optional) Sets the "machine" entry to look up in ".netrc" when "<netrc =" 1>> is
used. Defaults to "api.twitter.com".
legacy_lists_api
If set to 1, this option enables backwards compatibility by using the now
deprecated endpoints and semantics for lists API methods. If set to 0, the new
endpoints and semantics will be used. Only the new lists API methods are
documented here.
If you do not provide this option to "new" a warning is issued. Support for this
option and the legacy lists API methods will be removed in a future version.
wrap_result
(Optional) If set to 1, this option will return an Net::Twitter::Lite::WrapResult
object, which provides both the Twitter API result and the HTTP::Response object
for the API call. See Net::Twitter::Lite::WrapResult for details.
BASIC AUTHENTICATION METHODS
credentials($username, $password)
Set the credentials for Basic Authentication. This is helpful for managing multiple
accounts.
OAUTH METHODS
authorized
Whether the client has the necessary credentials to be authorized.
Note that the credentials may be wrong and so the request may fail.
request_access_token
Returns list including the access token, access token secret, user_id, and screen_name
for this user. Takes a HASH of arguments. The "verifier" argument is required. See
"OAUTH EXAMPLES".
The user must have authorized this app at the url given by "get_authorization_url"
first.
For desktop applications, the Twitter authorization page will present the user with a
PIN number. Prompt the user for the PIN number, and pass it as the "verifier"
argument to request_access_token.
Returns the access token and access token secret but also sets them internally so that
after calling this method, you can immediately call API methods requiring
authentication.
get_authorization_url(callback => $callback_url)
Get the URL used to authorize the user. Returns a "URI" object. For web
applications, pass your applications callback URL as the "callback" parameter. No
arguments are required for desktop applications ("callback" defaults to "oob", out-of-
band).
get_authentication_url(callback => $callback_url)
Get the URL used to authenticate the user with "Sign in with Twitter" authentication
flow. Returns a "URI" object. For web applications, pass your applications callback
URL as the "callback" parameter. No arguments are required for desktop applications
("callback" defaults to "oob", out-of-band).
xauth($username, $password)
Exchanges a username and password for OAuth tokens. Your application must be approved
for XAuth access by Twitter for this method to work. Twitter does not grant XAuth
access for web applications except for a brief period of time to allow them to switch
form Basic authentication to OAuth authentication.
access_token
Get or set the access token.
access_token_secret
Get or set the access token secret.
request_token
Get or set the request token.
request_token_secret
Get or set the request token secret.
access_token_url
Get or set the access_token URL.
authentication_url
Get or set the authentication URL.
authorization_url
Get or set the authorization URL.
request_token_url
Get or set the request_token URL.
xauth_url
Get or set the XAuth access token request URL.
API METHODS AND ARGUMENTS
Most Twitter API methods take parameters. All Net::Twitter::Lite API methods will accept
a HASH ref of named parameters as specified in the Twitter API documentation. For
convenience, many Net::Twitter::Lite methods accept simple positional arguments as
documented, below. The positional parameter passing style is optional; you can always use
the named parameters in a hash ref if you prefer.
For example, the REST API method "update" has one required parameter, "status". You can
call "update" with a HASH ref argument:
$nt->update({ status => 'Hello world!' });
Or, you can use the convenient form:
$nt->update('Hello world!');
The "update" method also has an optional parameter, "in_reply_to_status_id". To use it,
you must use the HASH ref form:
$nt->update({ status => 'Hello world!', in_reply_to_status_id => $reply_to });
Convenience form is provided for the required parameters of all API methods. So, these
two calls are equivalent:
$nt->friendship_exists({ user_a => $fred, user_b => $barney });
$nt->friendship_exists($fred, $barney);
Many API methods have aliases. You can use the API method name, or any of its aliases, as
you prefer. For example, these calls are all equivalent:
$nt->friendship_exists($fred, $barney);
$nt->relationship_exists($fred, $barney);
$nt->follows($fred, $barney);
Aliases support both the HASH ref and convenient forms:
$nt->follows({ user_a => $fred, user_b => $barney });
Methods that support the "page" parameter expect page numbers > 0. Twitter silently
ignores invalid "page" values. So "{ page => 0 }" produces the same result as "{ page =>
1 }".
In addition to the arguments specified for each API method described below, an additional
"authenticate" parameter can be passed. To request an "Authorization" header, pass
"authenticated => 1"; to suppress an authentication header, pass "authentication => 0".
Even if requested, an Authorization header will not be added if there are no user
credentials (username and password for Basic Authentication; access tokens for OAuth).
This is probably only useful for the "rate_limit_status" method in the REST API, since it
returns different values for an authenticated and a non-authenticated call.
REST API Methods
Several of these methods accept a user ID as the "id" parameter. The user ID can be
either a screen name, or the users numeric ID. To disambiguate, use the "screen_name" or
"user_id" parameters, instead.
For example, These calls are equivalent:
$nt->create_friend('perl_api'); # screen name
$nt->create_friend(1564061); # numeric ID
$nt->create_friend({ id => 'perl_api' });
$nt->create_friend({ screen_name => 'perl_api' });
$nt->create_friend({ user_id => 1564061 });
However user_id 911 and screen_name 911 are separate Twitter accounts. These calls are
NOT equivalent:
$nt->create_friend(911); # interpreted as screen name
$nt->create_friend({ user_id => 911 }); # screen name: richellis
Whenever the "id" parameter is required and "user_id" and "screen_name" are also
parameters, using any one of them satisfies the requirement.

pass the arrayref to "lookup_users".
Use the optional "cursor" parameter to retrieve IDs in pages of 5000. When the
"cursor" parameter is used, the return value is a reference to a hash with keys
"previous_cursor", "next_cursor", and "ids". The value of "ids" is a reference to an
array of IDS of the user's followers. Set the optional "cursor" parameter to -1 to get
the first page of IDs. Set it to the prior return's value of "previous_cursor" or
"next_cursor" to page forward or backwards. When there are no prior pages, the value
of "previous_cursor" will be 0. When there are no subsequent pages, the value of
"next_cursor" will be 0.
Returns: HashRef|ArrayRef[Int]
friends_ids
friends_ids(id)
alias: following_ids
Parameters: id, user_id, screen_name, cursor
Required: id
Returns a reference to an array of numeric IDs for every user followed by the
specified user. The order of the IDs is reverse chronological.
Use the optional "cursor" parameter to retrieve IDs in pages of 5000. When the
"cursor" parameter is used, the return value is a reference to a hash with keys
"previous_cursor", "next_cursor", and "ids". The value of "ids" is a reference to an
array of IDS of the user's friends. Set the optional "cursor" parameter to -1 to get
the first page of IDs. Set it to the prior return's value of "previous_cursor" or
"next_cursor" to page forward or backwards. When there are no prior pages, the value
of "previous_cursor" will be 0. When there are no subsequent pages, the value of
"next_cursor" will be 0.
Returns: HashRef|ArrayRef[Int]
friendship_exists
friendship_exists(user_a, user_b)
alias: relationship_exists
alias: follows
Parameters: user_id_a, user_id_b, screen_name_a, screen_name_b, user_a, user_b
Required: user_a, user_b
Tests for the existence of friendship between two users. Will return true if user_a
follows user_b, otherwise will return false.
Use of "user_a" and "user_b" is deprecated. It has been preserved for backwards
compatibility, and is used for the two-argument positional form:
$nt->friendship_exists($user_a, $user_b);
Instead, you should use one of the named argument forms:
$nt->friendship_exists({ user_id_a => $id1, user_id_b => $id2 });
$nt->friendship_exists({ screen_name_a => $name1, screen_name_b => $name2 });
Consider using "show_friendship" instead.
Returns: Bool
friendships_incoming
friendships_incoming(cursor)
Parameters: cursor
Required: cursor
Returns an HASH ref with an array of numeric IDs in the "ids" element for every user
who has a pending request to follow the authenticating user.
Returns: HashRef
friendships_outgoing
friendships_outgoing(cursor)
Parameters: cursor
Required: cursor
Returns an HASH ref with an array of numeric IDs in the "ids" element for every
protected user for whom the authenticating user has a pending follow request.
Returns: HashRef
geo_id
geo_id(id)
Parameters: id
Required: id
Returns details of a place returned from the "reverse_geocode" method.
Returns: HashRef
geo_search
Parameters: lat, long, query, ip, granularity, accuracy, max_results,
contained_within, attribute:street_address, callback
Required: none
Search for places that can be attached to a statuses/update. Given a latitude and a
longitude pair, an IP address, or a name, this request will return a list of all the
valid places that can be used as the place_id when updating a status.
Conceptually, a query can be made from the user's location, retrieve a list of places,
have the user validate the location he or she is at, and then send the ID of this
location with a call to statuses/update.
This is the recommended method to use find places that can be attached to
statuses/update. Unlike geo/reverse_geocode which provides raw data access, this
endpoint can potentially re-order places with regards to the user who is
authenticated. This approach is also preferred for interactive place matching with the
user.
Returns: HashRef
get_configuration
Parameters: none
Required: none
Returns the current configuration used by Twitter including twitter.com slugs which
are not usernames, maximum photo resolutions, and t.co URL lengths.
It is recommended applications request this endpoint when they are loaded, but no more
than once a day.
Returns: HashRef
get_languages
Parameters: none
Required: none
Returns the list of languages supported by Twitter along with their ISO 639-1 code.
The ISO 639-1 code is the two letter value to use if you include lang with any of your
requests.
Returns: ArrayRef[Lanugage]
get_list
Parameters: list_id, slug, owner_screen_name, owner_id
Required: none
Returns the specified list. Private lists will only be shown if the authenticated user
owns the specified list.
Returns: List
get_lists
alias: list_lists
Parameters: user_id, screen_name, cursor
Required: none
Returns the lists of the specified (or authenticated) user. Private lists will be
included if the authenticated user is the same as the user whose lists are being
returned.
Returns: Hashref
get_privacy_policy
Parameters: none
Required: none
Returns Twitter's privacy policy.
Returns: HashRef
get_tos
Parameters: none
Required: none
Returns the Twitter Terms of Service. These are not the same as the Developer Rules of
the Road.

authenticated user must own the list to be able to remove members from it. Note that
lists can't have more than 500 members, and you are limited to removing up to 100
members to a list at a time with this method.
Please note that there can be issues with lists that rapidly remove and add
memberships. Take care when using these methods such that you are not too rapidly
switching between removals and adds on the same list.
Returns: List

user icon. Does not require authentication. Note that the public timeline is cached
for 60 seconds so requesting it more often than that is a waste of resources.
If user credentials are provided, "public_timeline" calls are authenticated, so they
count against the authenticated user's rate limit. Use "->public_timeline({
authenticate => 0 })" to make an unauthenticated call which will count against the
calling IP address' rate limit, instead.
Returns: ArrayRef[Status]
rate_limit_status
Parameters: none
Required: none
Returns the remaining number of API requests available to the authenticated user
before the API limit is reached for the current hour.
Use "->rate_limit_status({ authenticate => 0 })" to force an unauthenticated call,
which will return the status for the IP address rather than the authenticated user.
(Note: for a web application, this is the server's IP address.)
Returns: RateLimitStatus

reverse_geocode
reverse_geocode(lat, long)
Parameters: lat, long, accuracy, granularity, max_results
Required: lat, long
Search for places (cities and neighborhoods) that can be attached to a
statuses/update. Given a latitude and a longitude, return a list of all the valid
places that can be used as a place_id when updating a status. Conceptually, a query
can be made from the user's location, retrieve a list of places, have the user
validate the location he or she is at, and then send the ID of this location up with a
call to statuses/update.
There are multiple granularities of places that can be returned -- "neighborhoods",
"cities", etc. At this time, only United States data is available through this
method.
lat Required. The latitude to query about. Valid ranges are -90.0 to +90.0 (North is
positive) inclusive.
long
Required. The longitude to query about. Valid ranges are -180.0 to +180.0 (East
is positive) inclusive.
accuracy
Optional. A hint on the "region" in which to search. If a number, then this is a
radius in meters, but it can also take a string that is suffixed with ft to
specify feet. If this is not passed in, then it is assumed to be 0m. If coming
from a device, in practice, this value is whatever accuracy the device has
measuring its location (whether it be coming from a GPS, WiFi triangulation,
etc.).
granularity
Optional. The minimal granularity of data to return. If this is not passed in,
then "neighborhood" is assumed. "city" can also be passed.
max_results
Optional. A hint as to the number of results to return. This does not guarantee
that the number of results returned will equal max_results, but instead informs
how many "nearby" results to return. Ideally, only pass in the number of places
you intend to display to the user here.
Returns: HashRef
saved_searches

the required id parameter. This information includes design settings, so third party
developers can theme their widgets according to a given user's preferences. You must
be properly authenticated to request the page of a protected user.
Returns: ExtendedUser
similar_places
similar_places(lat, long, name)
Parameters: lat, long, name, contained_within, attribute:street_address, callback
Required: lat, long, name
Locates places near the given coordinates which are similar in name.
Conceptually you would use this method to get a list of known places to choose from
first. Then, if the desired place doesn't exist, make a request to "add_place" to
create a new one.
The token contained in the response is the token needed to be able to create a new
place.
Returns: HashRef
subscribe_list

"locations" that encode the location's WOEID (a Yahoo! Where On Earth ID
<http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/geoplanet/>) and some other human-readable information
such as a the location's canonical name and country.
When the optional "lat" and "long" parameters are passed, the available trend
locations are sorted by distance from that location, nearest to farthest.
Use the WOEID returned in the location object to query trends for a specific location.
Returns: ArrayRef[Location]
trends_current

Returns the top 20 trending topics for each hour in a given day.
Returns: HashRef
trends_location
trends_location(woeid)

of "trend" objects that encode the name of the trending topic, the query parameter
that can be used to search for the topic on Search, and the direct URL that can be
issued against Search. This information is cached for five minutes, and therefore
users are discouraged from querying these endpoints faster than once every five
minutes. Global trends information is also available from this API by using a WOEID
of 1.
Returns: ArrayRef[Trend]

status update with text identical to the authenticating user's current status will be
ignored.
status
Required. The text of your status update. URL encode as necessary. Statuses over
140 characters will cause a 403 error to be returned from the API.
in_reply_to_status_id
Optional. The ID of an existing status that the update is in reply to. o Note:
This parameter will be ignored unless the author of the tweet this parameter
references is mentioned within the status text. Therefore, you must include
@username, where username is the author of the referenced tweet, within the
update.
lat Optional. The location's latitude that this tweet refers to. The valid ranges for
latitude is -90.0 to +90.0 (North is positive) inclusive. This parameter will be
ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is disabled,
or if there not a corresponding long parameter with this tweet.
long
Optional. The location's longitude that this tweet refers to. The valid ranges
for longitude is -180.0 to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive. This parameter
will be ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is
disabled, or if there not a corresponding lat parameter with this tweet.
place_id
Optional. The place to attach to this status update. Valid place_ids can be found
by querying "reverse_geocode".
display_coordinates
Optional. By default, geo-tweets will have their coordinates exposed in the status
object (to remain backwards compatible with existing API applications). To turn
off the display of the precise latitude and longitude (but keep the contextual
location information), pass "display_coordinates =" 0> on the status update.
Returns: Status

update_profile_background_image
update_profile_background_image(image)
Parameters: image, use
Required: image
Updates the authenticating user's profile background image. The "image" parameter must

[ $file, $filename ]
[ $file, $filename, Content_Type => $mime_type ]
[ undef, $filename, Content_Type => $mime_type, Content => $raw_image_data ]
The first value of the array ($file) is the name of a file to open. The second value
($filename) is the name given to Twitter for the file. If $filename is not provided,
the basename portion of $file is used. If $mime_type is not provided, it will be
provided automatically using LWP::MediaTypes::guess_media_type().
$raw_image_data can be provided, rather than opening a file, by passing "undef" as the
first array value.
Returns: ExtendedUser
update_with_media
update_with_media(status, media)
Parameters: status, media[], possibly_sensitive, in_reply_to_status_id, lat, long,
place_id, display_coordinates
Required: status, media

The "media[]" parameter is an arrayref with the following interpretation:
[ $file ]
[ $file, $filename ]
[ $file, $filename, Content_Type => $mime_type ]
[ undef, $filename, Content_Type => $mime_type, Content => $raw_image_data ]
The first value of the array ($file) is the name of a file to open. The second value
($filename) is the name given to Twitter for the file. If $filename is not provided,
the basename portion of $file is used. If $mime_type is not provided, it will be
provided automatically using LWP::MediaTypes::guess_media_type().
$raw_image_data can be provided, rather than opening a file, by passing "undef" as the
first array value.
The Tweet text will be rewritten to include the media URL(s), which will reduce the
number of characters allowed in the Tweet text. If the URL(s) cannot be appended
without text truncation, the tweet will be rejected and this method will return an
HTTP 403 error.
Returns: Status

"next_page", "refresh_url", and "max_id". The statuses are returned in "results". To
iterate over the results, use something similar to:
my $r = $nt->search($searh_term);
for my $status ( @{$r->{results}} ) {
print "$status->{text}\n";
}
Returns: HashRef
ERROR HANDLING
When "Net::Twitter::Lite" encounters a Twitter API error or a network error, it throws a
"Net::Twitter::Lite::Error" object. You can catch and process these exceptions by using
"eval" blocks and testing $@:
eval {
my $statuses = $nt->friends_timeline(); # this might die!
for my $status ( @$statuses ) {
#...
}
};
if ( $@ ) {
# friends_timeline encountered an error
if ( blessed $@ && $@->isa('Net::Twitter::Lite::Error' ) {
#... use the thrown error obj
warn $@->error;
}
else {
# something bad happened!
die $@;
}
}
"Net::Twitter::Lite::Error" stringifies to something reasonable, so if you don't need
detailed error information, you can simply treat $@ as a string:
eval { $nt->update($status) };
if ( $@ ) {
warn "update failed because: $@\n";
}
AUTHENTICATION
Net::Twitter::Lite currently supports both Basic Authentication and OAuth. The choice of
authentication strategies is determined by the options passed to "new" or the use of the
"credentials" method. An error will be thrown if options for both strategies are
provided.
BASIC AUTHENTICATION
To use Basic Authentication, pass the "username" and "password" options to "new", or call
"credentials" to set them. When Basic Authentication is used, the "Authorization" header
is set on each authenticated API call.
OAUTH AUTHENTICATION
To use OAuth authentication, pass the "consumer_key" and "consumer_secret" options to new.
Net::OAuth::Simple must be installed in order to use OAuth and an error will be thrown if
OAuth is attempted without it. Net::Twitter::Lite does not require Net::OAuth::Simple,
making OAuth an optional feature.
OAUTH EXAMPLES
See the "examples" directory included in this distribution for full working examples using
OAuth.
Here's how to authorize users as a desktop app mode:
use Net::Twitter::Lite;
my $nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(
consumer_key => "YOUR-CONSUMER-KEY",
consumer_secret => "YOUR-CONSUMER-SECRET",
);
# You'll save the token and secret in cookie, config file or session database
my($access_token, $access_token_secret) = restore_tokens();
if ($access_token && $access_token_secret) {
$nt->access_token($access_token);
$nt->access_token_secret($access_token_secret);
}
unless ( $nt->authorized ) {
# The client is not yet authorized: Do it now
print "Authorize this app at ", $nt->get_authorization_url, " and enter the PIN#\n";
my $pin = <STDIN>; # wait for input
chomp $pin;
my($access_token, $access_token_secret, $user_id, $screen_name) =
$nt->request_access_token(verifier => $pin);
save_tokens($access_token, $access_token_secret); # if necessary
}
# Everything's ready
In a web application mode, you need to save the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret
somewhere when you redirect the user to the OAuth authorization URL.
sub twitter_authorize : Local {
my($self, $c) = @_;
my $nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(%param);
my $url = $nt->get_authorization_url(callback => $callbackurl);
$c->response->cookies->{oauth} = {
value => {
token => $nt->request_token,
token_secret => $nt->request_token_secret,
},
};
$c->response->redirect($url);
}
And when the user returns back, you'll reset those request token and secret to upgrade the
request token to access token.
sub twitter_auth_callback : Local {
my($self, $c) = @_;
my %cookie = $c->request->cookies->{oauth}->value;
my $nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(%param);
$nt->request_token($cookie{token});
$nt->request_token_secret($cookie{token_secret});
my $verifier = $c->req->param->{oauth_verifier};
my($access_token, $access_token_secret, $user_id, $screen_name) =
$nt->request_access_token(verifier => $verifier);
# Save $access_token and $access_token_secret in the database associated with $c->user
}
Later on, you can retrieve and reset those access token and secret before calling any
Twitter API methods.
sub make_tweet : Local {
my($self, $c) = @_;
my($access_token, $access_token_secret) = ...;
my $nt = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(%param);
$nt->access_token($access_token);
$nt->access_token_secret($access_token_secret);
# Now you can call any Net::Twitter::Lite API methods on $nt
my $status = $c->req->param('status');
my $res = $nt->update({ status => $status });
}
