Description:

monkehTweet is a custom-written ColdFusion wrapper to interact with the Twitter RESTful API.

The interface is managed through the single monkehTweet facade object, which contains over 70 methods to interact and manage updates/queries through Twitter.

Developed to be as easy to use as possible, monkehTweets provides the ability to return the response data in either XML (default), JSON, RSS or Atom feeds (where applicable / permitted by the calling method).


== Debugging ==

The monkehTweet facade object accepts a third non-required parameter to toggle the format of the response output.
This allows the response to be output as a string or as structural information through the use of XmlParse() or DesrializeJSON() (depending on the output format)

08/08/2011 - Version 1.2.9

There was an issue with rate limits not increasing to the allowed 350 per hour when running authenticated requests through OAuth, but instead sticking to using the standard 150 per hour of unauthenticated requests. This has been resolved.

- rate limit through authenticated requests issues resolved with revision of request handling and parameters being sent in URL query string
- addition of checkHeader argument to the majority of functions to assist in debugging headers
   
Thanks to Gary Stanton and Ray Majoran for finding the issue with the rate limits on authenticated requests.


29/06/2011 - Version 1.2.8

- revised error message handling and output (thanks to Joel (cajunJoel) for the suggestion)

10/06/2011 - Version 1.2.7

- resolved issue with getUserTimeline() 401 error

20/04/2011

- resolved authentication issue with getFollowersIDs() method

11/04/2011

   - getRetweets()
   - retweetedBy()
   - retweetedByIDs()
   - geoSearch()
   - geoSimilarPlaces()
   - addMemberToList()
   - deleteListMember()
- resolved minor authentication issues with getUserTimeline() and friendshipExists() methods

10th September 2010 - OAuth authentication added to replace removed Basic Authentication.
