Twitter API - Ruby Twitter Gem

Question

How can I access Twitter::Cursor hash values returned by the Twitter API?

I am following the Jumpstartlab Microblogger tutorial for using the Twitter gem via the jumpsta

Answer 1

those answers didn't helped me to get the last message (maybe the API changed in the meantime), that's how I finally did it:

    def everyones_last_tweet
      puts "\n\n here are the latest tweets of your friends:"
      friends = @client.friends.collect { |f| @client.user(f) }
      friends.each do |friend|
        puts "\n\n#{friend.screen_name} wrote: \n\t #{friend.status.text}"
      end
    return ""
end

I'm not happy with that return string though

Answer 2

Access the 'friends' object in the same way you accessed the 'followers' object earlier in the tutorial in order to get a list of your followers' screen names.

To get an array of followers' screen names:

screen_names = @client.followers.collect {|f| @client.user(f).screen_name }

To get an array of friends' screen names:

screen_names = @client.friends.collect {|f| @client.user(f).screen_name }

To get the last tweet of a friend, you can use the object_id's you posted above, as:

last_tweet = @client.user(object_id).status.tweet

I hope this helps. I was caught on this issue for a while too.
