Webhook for twitter

I am developing a tweet app for a ruby ​​rail app and I want the user to use a ruby ​​stone for this. I've experimented quite a bit and everything works well. But I am wondering how I can get notified when some event happens (someone double-checks, mentions me, uses a hashtag, ...). Are there any websites that Twitter provides? If not, what is the best fit to solve the problem (custom choice, automatic request every x minutes, ...)?

Thanks for any guidance.

Regards

You need to create a Twitter application for your purpose. Refer to dev.twitter.com for more details.

Through this Twitter app, you can get the required Twitter data.



It's a bit vague. But Twitter developer website will give you more details.

This URL will help you access Twitter data using Ruby On Rails.

Twitter doesn't have websites. You can use the Twitter Streaming API which is closest to real time, or you can poll the REST API.



Polling can be a pain due to the speed limits, so streaming is your best bet.

I am also looking for a solution. I see Zapier talking about posting to a web check in some twitter events.

But it looks like there will be significant latencies, on the order of 5 or 15 minutes, depending on how much you pay them.
