Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a !tweet script that will show the latest tweet. I know I have to use this api:
http://api.newtimenow.com/last-tweet/?q=TWITTERNAME

But I have no idea how to get that line of text into a !tweet command. Someone told me to use sockets and regex but after reading a guide I'm still struggeling on where to even begin.

Thank you for your time I hope someone can help me out or maybe have a script already that I can edit and use.

With kind regards,
Ry

Here's a quick and dirty script i made for someone a while back, and testing shows it still works. It does use a different API, so if you need to have the API you mentioned, it might be able to be adapted for that.

Code:
; Tweets can be fetched by either typing into channel: !tweetstalker accountname1 accountname2 etc
; or typing in mirc: /tweetstalker #OutputChannel accountname1 accountname2 etc
; Currently it throws a lot of debug messages to status window, that can be eliminated once you've got it working
; Output to @tweetstalker window is:
; #OutputChannel accountname <tweet message | error messages like "no tweets were found" or "that page does not exist">
; Issues I can think of off the top of my head:
; * If !tweetstalker requests in channel are allowed, people will immediately search for obscene words
;   a command to close it, so if there's an error message i don't know about yet, the socket stays open forever
; * if line contains *twitter.com* i assume it's a real tweet, but it may not display anything for error messages
;   i've not yet encountered besides "not an account", "locked private or banned", or "no tweets made".
;   i dunno if it's possible for that guy's query to be seen as blocked.

; FYI: the script makes a queue for incoming requests like: #channel1 acct1 acct2 #channel2 acct3 acct4 acct5
;   so any word beginning with # changes the output, so acct1+2 goes to #channel1 and acct3+4+5 go to #channel2

; This looks for someone typing: !tweetstalker accountname [optional additional account(s) ]
on *:TEXT:!tweetstalker *:#:{ tweetstalker # $2- }

; can also get tweets by doing: /tweetstalker #OutputChannel accountname [ optional additional accoutname(s) ]

; examples of: 1) active account 2) account with no tweets 3) skipped invalid 4) banned 5) no such account
; //tweetstalker $chan(1) taylorswift13 doesnotexist invalid!string nero euryfhsyatweor
