Twitter API - Ruby Twitter Gem

Question

How can I access Twitter::Cursor hash values returned by the Twitter API?

I am following the Jumpstartlab Microblogger tutorial for using the Twitter gem via the jumpsta

Answer 1

Access the 'friends' object in the same way you accessed the 'followers' object earlier in the tutorial in order to get a list of your followers' screen names.

To get an array of followers' screen names:

screen_names = @client.followers.collect {|f| @client.user(f).screen_name }

To get an array of friends' screen names:

screen_names = @client.friends.collect {|f| @client.user(f).screen_name }

To get the last tweet of a friend, you can use the object_id's you posted above, as:

last_tweet = @client.user(object_id).status.tweet

I hope this helps. I was caught on this issue for a while too.
