What is the best Twitter API wrapper/library for .NET?

Question

I'm looking for a way to programatically generate a twitter feed for a .NET application. Any recommendations as to a good wrapper for the twitter api to ease the work?

Answer 1

Twitter API is so simple that you even don't need to use any existing library.

A few blog posts on this subject:

• Calling the Twitter API in C#
• Twitter API - Submit a post in C#
• Twitter API - Get a list of your friends in C#
• OAuth Base Class in C#
• Using OAuth to Send Updates to Twitter Using C#

Answer 2

Hi,

there is a linq to twitter project on codeplex:

http://www.codeplex.com/LinqToTwitter

Besides the Yedda library, you can read Pedro Santos' blog on his experience.

Answer 3

You can also check out Twitteroo. But Yedda is better. I have a hobby Twitter client project which looks like Google Talk (named jata). It ca be found here in codeplex if you are interested.

Answer 4

Here is a list of all the C# libraries listed on twitter's website.

Here is a link to Twitter's REST API documentation.

Answer 5

All good answers, LinqToTwitter good. Also check out my post explaining the basics of using the Twitter API from C#/LINQ, including being aware of rate limits. (Which is important to understand).

Coming soon - a version of my code that automatically adjusts request speed to your rate limit. (Which is either 100/hr by default, or 20,000/hr if you or your site is "white listed").

Answer 6

tweetsharp.com looks like it should be a decent option as well.

Answer 7

Twitterizer looks like it may be worth a look - it's even open source now... http://www.twitterizer.net/
