Display Twitter Post

Hi,

I've searched about for a while but I'm yet to find a clear answer.
Is it at all possible to simply display a tweet as text within an application built in Unity?

For example, a home screen which shows the latest tweet from a given account.

I've looked at tools such as Fabric, but they seem convoluted and unnecessary. Ideal, I'd like to be able to achieve this without additional plugins etc.

I'm an able coder so a point in the right direction should set up me up nicely.

Thanks in advance.

 

I doubt you can do this without a plugin, but I'm not sure I know what you are looking for. Do you mean read a tweet from someones post and then transfer that to a Unity text?

You'll need to look at the twitter api and it may require their plugin, which I"m pretty sure is required to do a post, so reading a post would make sense here. While it could be possible to use an http get or something to get the text, there may be no way to target to get anything.

 

Yes as @Brathnann said, you have to use the twitter API for that. Which now has a OAuth 2.0 authentication for application use (1.1 for user functions).
Fabric is there for ease of use, but you can write your own if you wish. But you'll have to implement your own (https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/application-only)

A Http Get is a bad idea. It might work today, but stop tomorrow. So you'll be at the mercy of your html parser and twitter changes to their website.
