Display twitter feed in-game

Questions & Answers

Hey everyone, I would like to display a twitter feed in-game, but I don’t know where to start. I have been looking all over the internet and stumbled on plug-ins like Fabric for Unity by Twitter itself. However, that isn’t quite what I need with the monetization tools and things like that. It seems like a simple task. Does anyone have knowledge about this subject?

use WWW and WWWForm classes to query the Twitter Rest Api : documentation here :

  1. Authentication overview | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform
  2. Unity - Scripting API: WWW
  3. Unity - Scripting API: WWWForm

Some .Net Library you may look into them :

I have no experience with this, but can’t you just use the Twitter API ?

Well, if you think about it, the solution to your problem can be divided to the following:

  • Authenticate the player to Twitter, if what’s required is to get the user’s own customized feed.

  • Fetch the tweets using Twitter’s API

  • Display the tweets in a way that is non-intrusive to the experience

Could you please elaborate if your question is related to all or some of the above?
