Prepare

Set the API key and API key secret to environment variables.

export GOTWI_API_KEY='your-api-key'
export GOTWI_API_KEY_SECRET='your-api-key-secret'

Request with OAuth 1.0a User Context

With this authentication method, each operation will be performed as the authenticated Twitter account. For example, you can tweet as that account, or retrieve accounts that are blocked by that account.

Example: Get your own information.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/michimani/gotwi"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/fields"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/user/userlookup"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/user/userlookup/types"
)

func main() {
	in := &gotwi.NewClientInput{
		AuthenticationMethod: gotwi.AuthenMethodOAuth1UserContext,
		OAuthToken:           "your-access-token",
		OAuthTokenSecret:     "your-access-token-secret",
	}

	c, err := gotwi.NewClient(in)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	p := &types.GetMeInput{
		Expansions: fields.ExpansionList{
			fields.ExpansionPinnedTweetID,
		},
		UserFields: fields.UserFieldList{
			fields.UserFieldCreatedAt,
		},
		TweetFields: fields.TweetFieldList{
			fields.TweetFieldCreatedAt,
		},
	}

	u, err := userlookup.GetMe(context.Background(), c, p)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println("ID:          ", gotwi.StringValue(u.Data.ID))
	fmt.Println("Name:        ", gotwi.StringValue(u.Data.Name))
	fmt.Println("Username:    ", gotwi.StringValue(u.Data.Username))
	fmt.Println("CreatedAt:   ", u.Data.CreatedAt)
	if u.Includes.Tweets != nil {
		for _, t := range u.Includes.Tweets {
			fmt.Println("PinnedTweet: ", gotwi.StringValue(t.Text))
		}
	}
}

go run main.go

You will get the output like following.

Example: Tweet with poll.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/michimani/gotwi"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/tweet/managetweet"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/tweet/managetweet/types"
)

func main() {
	in := &gotwi.NewClientInput{
		AuthenticationMethod: gotwi.AuthenMethodOAuth1UserContext,
		OAuthToken:           "your-access-token",
		OAuthTokenSecret:     "your-access-token-secret",
	}

	c, err := gotwi.NewClient(in)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	p := &types.CreateInput{
		Text: gotwi.String("This is a test tweet with poll."),
		Poll: &types.CreateInputPoll{
			DurationMinutes: gotwi.Int(5),
			Options: []string{
				"Cyan",
				"Magenta",
				"Yellow",
				"Key plate",
			},
		},
	}

	res, err := managetweet.Create(context.Background(), c, p)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err.Error())
		return
	}

	fmt.Printf("[%s] %s\n", gotwi.StringValue(res.Data.ID), gotwi.StringValue(res.Data.Text))
}

go run main.go

You will get the output like following.

[1462813519607263236] This is a test tweet with poll.

Request with OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token

This authentication method allows only read-only access to public information.

Example: Get a user by user name.

⚠ This example only works with Twitter API v2 Basic or Pro plan. see details: Developers Portal

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/michimani/gotwi"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/fields"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/user/userlookup"
	"github.com/michimani/gotwi/user/userlookup/types"
)

func main() {
	c, err := gotwi.NewClient(&gotwi.NewClientInput{
		AuthenticationMethod: gotwi.AuthenMethodOAuth2BearerToken,
	})
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	p := &types.GetByUsernameInput{
		Username: "michimani210",
		Expansions: fields.ExpansionList{
			fields.ExpansionPinnedTweetID,
		},
		UserFields: fields.UserFieldList{
			fields.UserFieldCreatedAt,
		},
		TweetFields: fields.TweetFieldList{
			fields.TweetFieldCreatedAt,
		},
	}

	u, err := userlookup.GetByUsername(context.Background(), c, p)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println("ID:          ", gotwi.StringValue(u.Data.ID))
	fmt.Println("Name:        ", gotwi.StringValue(u.Data.Name))
	fmt.Println("Username:    ", gotwi.StringValue(u.Data.Username))
	fmt.Println("CreatedAt:   ", u.Data.CreatedAt)
	if u.Includes.Tweets != nil {
		for _, t := range u.Includes.Tweets {
			fmt.Println("PinnedTweet: ", gotwi.StringValue(t.Text))
		}
	}
}

go run main.go

You will get the output like following.

ID:           581780917
Name:         michimani Lv.861
Username:     michimani210

Request with OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with PKCE

If you already have a pre-generated access token (e.g. OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with PKCE), you can use NewClientWithAccessToken() function to generate a Gotwi client.

in := &gotwi.NewClientWithAccessTokenInput{
	AccessToken: "your-access-token",
}

c, err := gotwi.NewClientWithAccessToken(in)
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}

See below for information on which authentication methods are available for which endpoints.

Twitter API v2 authentication mapping | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform

Error handling

Each function that calls the Twitter API (e.g. retweet.ListUsers()) may return an error for some reason. If the error is caused by the Twitter API returning a status other than 2XX, you can check the details by doing the following.

res, err := retweet.ListUsers(context.Background(), c, p)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Println(err)

	// more error information
	ge := err.(*gotwi.GotwiError)
	if ge.OnAPI {
		fmt.Println(ge.Title)
		fmt.Println(ge.Detail)
		fmt.Println(ge.Type)
		fmt.Println(ge.Status)
		fmt.Println(ge.StatusCode)

		for _, ae := range ge.APIErrors {
			fmt.Println(ae.Message)
			fmt.Println(ae.Label)
			fmt.Println(ae.Parameters)
			fmt.Println(ae.Code)
			fmt.Println(ae.Code.Detail())
		}

		if ge.RateLimitInfo != nil {
			fmt.Println(ge.RateLimitInfo.Limit)
			fmt.Println(ge.RateLimitInfo.Remaining)
			fmt.Println(ge.RateLimitInfo.ResetAt)
		}
	}
}
