About

## Discontinued Notice Unfortunately, this extra is now discontinued and no longer supported. Twitter have now closed their API for anything useful unless you pay a subscription so the API that this relied on, is no longer working. Thank you all for using it! ## TwitterX

This package loads Twitter feeds/statuses using the new (and very annoying) Twitter 1.1 API now that Twitter API 1.0 has shutdown. You will need to create a Twitter app and get the keys and tokens and call the TwitterX snippet which will load your statuses. This uses a chunk to quickly format the display of your statuses. Example of this in use on my homepage:

This now supports basic Twitter searches and multiple screen_name values when viewing timelines.
