another twitter library for rust
This is an early library for interacting with Twitter. So far the only thing I've implemented is getting an access token and looking up a user. The aim with this is complete integration with Twitter's v1.1 API.
To authenticate a user and request an access token:
```rust extern crate egg_mode;
let consumertoken = eggmode::Token::new(consumerkey, consumersecret); let requesttoken = eggmode::requesttoken(&consumertoken, "oob").unwrap(); let authorizeurl = eggmode::authorizeurl(&requesttoken);
//show authorize_url to the user, have them sign in to Twitter there, and enter the PIN that //Twitter gives them
let (accesstoken, userid, username) = eggmode::accesstoken(&consumertoken, &requesttoken, pin).unwrap(); ```
As the last line shows, this also returns the User ID and username of the user that authenticated with your application. With this access token, all of the other Twitter functions become available.
The file examples/basic.rs shows the process of loading an access token and using that to show
some information about the authenticated user.
