Short lived key-value store using Twitter user feeds.
Sometimes you'd like to store a simple (key, value) mapping for a short time using a service that's already running and is highly available -- like Twitter.
No access tokens required!
Since HTTP scraping is used under the hood in
latest-tweets, only the last couple
dozen tweets will be available, making this ideal for use as a transient store.
var resolve = require('twitter-kv')
resolve('noffle', 'test', function (err, value) {
if (err) return console.log(err)
console.log('value:', value)
})This will look for a recent tweet in my timeline of the format
key = value
If it finds it -- let's say I have a tweet that says foo = bar -- I can expect
the following output
value: bar
var twitterKv = require('twitter-kv')Queries the twitter user feed for user, looking for an entry of the form key = value. Calls cb(err, value) with the most recent value for key. Expect
key to be null if no value was found.
With npm installed, run
$ npm install twitter-kv
