Getting Feeds from Twitter

Feb 11 2010
tags:

I wanted to add a feed of all of my friends tweets from Twitter. Twitter provides the feed but hides it behind (it seems like htaccess) password protection. The friend feed isn't available yet in the Drupal Twitter module: http://drupal.org/node/690658 (the patch looks fine but I couldn't get the 6--3 dev version to save any user data). I wanted a quick solution and didn't have time to debug that growing module. What to do?

I found here: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/7336 that you just need to use the following:

https://user:password@twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.rss

Now I can grab my friends tweets (using the Feeds module which I at least contributed a patch to) like a normal feed.
