URLs
The code used in the video is available below by clicking the link below. When you click the link a new window will open and you then need to copy and paste for the Google Script
In this training, I’m going to demonstrate how to create
an RSS Feed for Twitter. Recently,
Twitter have just switched off their API for the RSS Feed which a lot of people
have been using, and because of that, a lot of people are trying to find out
how to create an RSS Feed.
It will be done, but it’s just a little bit more
complicated.
So first of all, I am going to show you that it does
work, so this is my blog. And if I just
scroll down here, and I have put my RSS Feed in the side bar here, so my
twitter handle is EricWhitman and this is my twitter feed, using the
information that I am about to give to you here.
So, how do you go about creating this? So the first
thing you need to do is create a twitter App.
To do that, it is pretty straight forward. What you need to do is, you need to go to
this URL. This will actually be posted
on my website RSS Feed. You need that to
sign in with your twitter account, and then you need to go to my applications.
You need to go create new application. I shall bring you on to the screen now. Once you are on this screen, what you need to
do is you need to give your app a name.
So I am going to call mine, I have already created RSS Feedone so I am
going to call it Twitter READHEART_RSS_TEST, and the description, you can call
it anything you like as the URL. I will
just put my domain name there, and then the call back Twitter RSS URL. You need to use this Twitter RSS, this URL
here, like that, and then you scroll down here, and click yes I agree, you then
need to enter the captcha code RSS Feed, scroll down, and then create twitter
app. Create, ok, it doesn’t like that,
it has just come up with another warning saying RSS test has already been taken
for a name. So obviously, it has to be a
unique name for the app. So I will put a
dash in there and see if that does it.
Create you twitter app. Right,Twitter RSS Feed and it now says your
application has been successfully created.
Please take some time to update its settings. So, once you have done
that, there’s a few bits of information that you are going to need on here. RSS
Feed In fact, whilst I’m on here, for future reference, if you ever need to get
back at, if you RSS Feed wonder what happens to this, after you have created
it. Twitter RSS If you come back into the URL, which you came to in the first
place, which is Dev.Twitter.com, if you go to my applications, you will Twitter
RSS Feed actually see it when you click on there.
You will actually see your apps that you have created,
listed there, so anyway, here it is.
Now there are a
couple of bits of information that we are going to need on here, we are going
to need the consumer key. Which is this
one here. There. And you are going to need consumer secret as
well, which we will come back to in a minute.
The next thing that you Twitter RSS need to do is to
click the create my access token button here. Like that. The next step is to
configure your Google Script. Twitter RSS Now, you will need a Google account
for this.Twitter RSS If you haven’t got
one you will need to set one up Twitter RSS.
And if you have got one, you will need to log into it. And once you have logged into it, you need to
go to this URL. Which I will also make
available on my website. Twitter RSS Then, once the page has loaded Twitter
RSS. You need to go script as web
app. I have got some codes you need to
put in here. The first thing you can do
is clear off the code that is in here.
So if you just highlight everything and remove it Twitter RSS. Then the next thing you need to do is there
is some Twitter RSS code on my website, which you will need to copy and paste
because you won’t be able to see all of it here Twitter RSS. There is quite a lot of it, so it wouldn’t be
advisable to try and type it in Twitter RSS.
So you need to put that in there.
I then, re-named this, so, I am going to call this twitter RSS
Test. Click Ok.
It will come up with another box, which I will then
call Twitter RSS Test. Click Ok. The
next thing you need to do is RSS Feed, you need to put some information in
here. This sheet that is on my website
has my Twitter RSS information built into it.
You will need to put yours in.
Otherwise you will see my twitter RSS Feed Twitter RSS. So to do that, what you need to do is go back
to the twitter developer site and go back to the app that you have created, and
you need to go to the consumer key here.
Highlight that, make sure you don’t highlight anymore or any less than
all of it RSS Feed.
Copy that, and then come back into here, and you need
to paste it here. You will have a different
number to mine and paste it there. Twitter RSS Then you need to go back here
and you need to get the consumer secret key. Twitter RSS Which is this one
here, again make sure you only highlight what you need. Twitter RSS Then you
need to put that in there like that.
Then, if you scroll down, you will also note that its currently set up
to work with my, twitter handle.
Twitter RSS Feed And what you need to do is you
need RSS Feed to put your twitter handle
or your twitter id in place of mine in each of these positions,RSS Feed so that
you will then see an Twitter RSS Feed with your information feed in. If you want RSS Feedto see my information in
there then that’s great. Just leave it
as it is. RSS Feed The other thing is, if you follow me on twitter RSS Feed, I
will follow you back as well. So once,
you have done all that Twitter RSS. You
need to go to file, save, and the next thing to RSS Feed do is to go to publish
Twitter RSS and go deploy as web app. RSS Feed And then you need to change the
authorisation of who can have access to the app, by selecting this drop down
here. And going to anyone, even
anonymous. Go to here and say save, new
version. Then click deploy Twitter RSS
Feed.
This here, will be your Twitter RSS Feed, once this is
completed, so it might be worth taking a copy of that at this stage. So you are not searching around for it later
on. So, I have copied that on to note
pad, click ok. Twitter RSS The next thing you need to do is go to run and start
and it will come up with this authorisation screen. Twitter RSS Which is just
getting your authorisation to run it really, so you can see authorised, and now
you can run the script.
So close that Twitter RSS Feed, and you need to go
back to run again, and go start and what it will do this time is it will now
get authorisation, once you click authorise RSS Feed it will go to twitter, and
get authorisation from twitter to authorise the app, so, it comes up here, so I
am going to say authorise app Twitter RSS.
So click that.
Just wait for it to come back.
And that is it, so if we now get the URL from before and we paste it in
here like that,RSS Feed you can now see that there is an RSS Feed of my tweets
on twitter, so everything that I have tweeted recently is all showing here Twitter
RSS.
