Display twitter feed in-game
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?
hey, looking to do the same thing, did you ever find out how to do this?

I have no experience with this, but can't you just use the Twitter API ?
use WWW and WWWForm classes to query the Twitter Rest Api : documentation here :
Some .Net Library you may look into them :

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?
Hi @majedzayer,
I cant answer for @kevinbunity but my scenario is quite basic and would happily contend with the following:
have the game display tweets from a pre-deter$$anonymous$$ed followee. For example, the game will only show tweets from BBC Breaking News (@BBCBreaking).
To display say the last 5 tweets with each tweet appearing for approx. 5-10 seconds before moving to the next.
So I don't think authentication is required as I'm not looking for the user to customize the feed. I may be wrong, I don't know as I've never done this before and could really use some help.
