Twitter API in Networking Education

Network Education API

Learn how to integrate Twitter API in networked applications architecture with practical HTTP examples

Learning Path

Authentication

Secure API Access

Implement authentication using Bearer tokens and OAuth protocols for network services


{`Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN`}

Network API Tutorial

GET /2/tweets

Endpoint Overview

Retrieve tweet data using identifiers across networked services

ids Array

123456789012


{`curl -G https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
--data-urlencode "ids=123456789012"`}

POST /2/tweets

Endpoint Overview

Create and post tweets using HTTP POST requests in network applications

text # String

Hello from network API


{`curl -X POST https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text":"Hello from network API"}'`}

Best Practice: Token Bucket Algorithm

Implement rate limit management using token bucket pattern to handle API quotas effectively


{`// Pseudocode for token bucket management
let tokens = MAX_LIMIT;
let lastTime = Date.now();

function useToken() {
  const now = Date.now();
  tokens += Math.floor((now - lastTime) * (RATE_LIMIT/3600));
  lastTime = now;
  
  if (tokens >= 1) {
    tokens--;
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}`}
