Project description
# Twitterspawn
Asynchronous, concurrent requests to the Twitter REST API, that respect Twitter's rate limits, using [gevent](http://www.gevent.org/) and [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/).
See [example.py](https://github.com/swinton/twitterspawn/blob/develop/example.py) for a working example.
## Usage
Basically:
```python
import twitterspawn
# Define callback (can define 1 per request)
def callback(response):
print "Got", response
# Add requests + callbacks
twitterspawn.add_request("https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json",
dict(params=dict(screen_name="steveWINton")),
callback)
twitterspawn.add_request("https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json",
dict(params=dict(screen_name="twitter")),
callback)
twitterspawn.add_request("https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json",
dict(params=dict(screen_name="catbinlady")),
callback)
# Add workers
twitterspawn.add_worker(access_token="YOUR_FIRST_ACCESS_TOKEN",
access_token_secret="YOUR_FIRST_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET",
consumer_key="YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY",
consumer_secret="YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET",
header_auth=False)
twitterspawn.add_worker(access_token="YOUR_SECOND_ACCESS_TOKEN",
access_token_secret="YOUR_SECOND_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET",
consumer_key="YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY",
consumer_secret="YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET",
header_auth=False)
# Go!
twitterspawn.go()
```
