Twitterizer Problems

Question

I am trying to figure out if twitterizer is still relevant. The library looks really old. And the current project i am working on uses it. I am using the following code...

private static OAuthTokens OAuthTokens()
        {
            var accessToken = "<insert>";
            var accessTokenSecret = "<insert>";
            var consumerKey = "<insert>";
            var consumerSecret = "<insert>";

            return new OAuthTokens
            {
                ConsumerKey = consumerKey,
                ConsumerSecret = consumerSecret,
                AccessToken = accessToken,
                AccessTokenSecret = accessTokenSecret
            };
        }

if i do the following call

var responseFollowersIds = TwitterFriendship.FollowersIds(credentials, new UsersIdsOptions()
            {
                UseSSL = true,
                APIBaseAddress = "http://api.twitter.com/1.1/",
                ScreenName = screenName
            });

I can see that i have followers and that the request being made looks like this

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json?screen_name=screenname&cursor=-1

notice that i set the APIBaseAddress to the latest version, but if i try and get the followers i use the following

var responseFollowers = TwitterFriendship.Followers(credentials, new FollowersOptions
            {
                ScreenName = screenName,
                UseSSL = true,
                APIBaseAddress = "http://api.twitter.com/1.1/",
            });

But then i get an error

{"errors":[{"message":"Sorry, that page does not exist","code":34}]}

upon further investigation i realized that TwitterFriendship.Followers request url is wrong and that is buried deep in the twitterizer code. The request made is

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/followers.json?cursor=-1&screen_name=screenname

and should be

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json

according to the new twitter documentation. Is there an easy way to fix it?

Answer 1

A little bit late, but just in case anyone faces this problem again. You can easily fix it by modifiying the code of Twitterizer at \Methods\User\FollowersCommand.cs, look for the constructor and change the URL of the method:

public FollowersCommand(OAuthTokens tokens, FollowersOptions options)
: base(HTTPVerb.GET, "followers/list.json", tokens, options)
