Company I work for has set up a twitter handle, and on our website we’re just gonna display like, the last 2 tweets.
As we’re only displaying, is there any advantage of using the API over just the RSS Feed from our profile page?
I know the API has a number of calls restriction…does the RSS Feed?
Cool, cheers
The RSS feed is actually part of the API, so you should be fine as long as you’re able to parse RSS. The RSS feed is public for public profiles and does not require an API key.
More info: Twitter REST API Method: statuses user_timeline
Assuming you’re pulling this down on the server side, make sure you cache the feed so you don’t pull one down for every page load.
