SingleUserOauth

Before you make a request to Twitter's Streaming API, you have to get authenticated using OAuth. This ruby gem will help you to generate unique OAuth Header Token, which is required to make a request to Twitter streaming API's.

• https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/public has very good documentation on making calls to twitter API's.
• This gem implements Single User Oauth type of OAuth authentication.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'single_user_oauth'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install single_user_oauth

oauth_header = SingleUserOauth.generate_header(oauth_params)

  def oauth_params
    {
      request_method: GET,
      requested_url: 'https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json',
      query_params: {
        track: 'trump'
      },
      oauth_consumer_key:    'xyz',
      oauth_token:           'abc',
      oauth_consumer_secret: '123',
      oauth_access_secret:   'def'
    }
  end
