Get protected tweets with Twitter API

At this point, most of you know that Twitter fixed the problem with Protected tweets not being protected at all.

I'm looking everywhere and have only found some links to oAuth for authentication. But what i can't find is a way to capture protected tweets. To make the question a little bit simpler. Can somebody help me with a bit of code to retrieve my own private tweets?

Situation (C# and/or Java will help me):

My own tweets are protected and i would like to Fetch those protected tweets and put them in.. say: A text file. What is the best way to achieve this?

Hope somebody can help.

Solution

  • Like the comment above said. Tweetshark is the way to go.

    You will first need to make a twitter application. Then follow this documentation:

    http://tweetsharp.codeplex.com/documentation

    It will explain how to authenticate with Twitter with a mobile app, silverlight or a normal website. Pick correctly !

    To get your tweets you simply need to use the TwitterServiceyou used and do this:

    List<TwitterStatus> lstTweets = service.ListTweetsOnHomeTimeline().ToList();

    Hope this helps abit.
