Prompt Detail:
To get the latest tweet of a Twitter account in Rails 7, you will need to use the Twitter API. Here are the steps to follow:
First, you need to create a Twitter developer account and create a Twitter app to get access to the API.
Once you have created your app, you will need to obtain the API keys and access tokens. These will be used to authenticate your app when making API requests to Twitter.
Next, you will need to add the Twitter gem to your Rails 7 project. You can do this by adding the following line to your Gemfile:
rubygem 'twitter'
Run
bundle install
to install the gem.Create a new instance of the Twitter client with your API keys and access tokens:
rubyclient = Twitter::REST::Client.new do |config| config.consumer_key = "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY" config.consumer_secret = "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET" config.access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" config.access_token_secret = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET" end
Finally, use the
user_timeline
method to retrieve the latest tweet from the Twitter account:rubylatest_tweet = client.user_timeline("TWITTER_ACCOUNT_NAME").first
This will return the most recent tweet from the specified Twitter account.
You can then access the tweet's text, creation time, and other attributes using the
latest_tweet
object.
