How to have my twitter timeline in my website

Question

I've been searching through the twitter API but can't find the right docs. What I need is not a simple timeline to embed on the website. I need to be able to allow visitors to the site to reply to tweets and also enable a follow button on the embedded timeline.

Are these functionalities possible on the twitter API? Especially the one allowing visitors to reply on the embedded timeline.

I would really appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction and any examples would be great too.

Answer 1

You'll need to write the code, but the API supports all of these things:

1. For a timeline, here are a couple to look at:

   • The Home Timeline, or

   • The User Timeline

2. Use statuses/update to reply.

3. Use friendships/create to follow.
