iPhone SDK Simple Twitter Question

Question

Hi Everyone,

I'm just playing around with the iPhone SDK and wanted to make a really simple Twitter app but I'm not sure how to do this. I just need to fetch the last 5 updates from a user just through their username. For instance, if I type in "mashable", I should get mashable's 5 latest updates. How would I do that?

Thanks so much ahead of time!

Answer 1

Did you support twitter login yet? If yes, you just need to call the Rest API using some NSUrlConnection

Answer 2

Last I checked, MGTwitterEngine was the gold-standard free library to drop in for Twitter access via Objective-C.
