tweety v1.0.10
#Tweety Use twitter through your terminal
##Installing
$ npm install tweety -g##Usage:
###Initializing Identify yourself! You'll only have to do this once.
$ tweety initIt'll prompt you to visit a URL, that URL will ask you to identify the app on twitter, and then it'll show you a code. Back on the command line, enter that code and the app will save your tokens on a local json file.
###Sending:
To send a message, just run the following command:
$ tweety someUserName "The complete message"Note that if your message is longer than 140 characters, tweety will split it into as many parts as required and it'll send all parts sequentially. I should also point out, when typing the username you're sending your message to - you do not need to put an @ at the beginning. If you were to send a message to me (@ImJaken) then your command would look like this:
$ tweety ImJaken "Hey Jaken!"###Receiving / Reading
With tweety you can do both: listing the latest 20 messages of your inbox, or reading a specific message. Here is how:
####Listing inbox In order to read the latest 20 messages of your inbox, just use the following command:
$ tweety read inboxYou'll get a list of messages with the id of the message, the screen name of the sender, when was it send, and a small part of the text. Something like this:
--- [ Inbox ](last 20 messages) ---
