How to send direct message to your followers
via twitter using rails
Step-1 : authenticate twitter with rails
require 'twitter'
def twitter
client = TwitterOAuth::Client.new(
:consumer_key => 'consumer key',
:consumer_secret => 'consumer secret key'
)
request_token = client.request_token(:oauth_callback =>'callback url' )
session[:request_token] = request_token.token
session[:request_token_secret] = request_token.secret
redirect_to request_token.authorize_url
end
// redirect url (callback url)
twitter_authorize(params[:oauth_verifier])
.....
.....
end
Step-2 : configure your twitter account
def twitter_direct_message_to_friends
Twitter.configure do |config|
config.consumer_key = 'consumer key'
config.consumer_secret = 'consumer secret key'
end
@client = Twitter::Client.new(
:oauth_token => 'oauth token',
:oauth_token_secret => 'oauth secret token'
)
end
Step-3 : fetch twitter friends
// try in console
@client.methods
// you will get following result
=> [:new, :method_missing, :respond_to?, :adapter, :adapter=, :connection_options, :connection_options=, :consumer_key, :consumer_key=, :consumer_secret, :consumer_secret=, :endpoint, :endpoint=, :gateway, :gateway=, :oauth_token, :oauth_token=, :oauth_token_secret, :oauth_token_secret=, :proxy, :proxy=, ..... ]
all_followers = @client.follower_ids // we get all followers
friend_list = @client.follower_ids.ids // we get all followers ids
// we are sending direct message so we need only ids so that we use second
Step-4: Send direct message to 1 friend
Twitter.direct_message_create('screen_name', "message") // send direct message
Step-5: Send direct message to all friend
friend_list.each do |id|
Twitter.configure do |config|
config.consumer_key = 'consumer key'
config.consumer_secret = 'consumer secret key'
config.oauth_token = 'oauth token',
config.oauth_token_secret = 'oauth secret token'
end
Twitter.direct_message_create('twitter friend id', "message") // send direct message
end
