Question

I’m doing something like this to get the tweets from a list in twitter:

twitterCtx = new TwitterContext();


var Tweets = from tweet in twitterCtx.List
             where tweet.Type == ListType.Statuses && tweet.OwnerScreenName == osn &&
             tweet.Slug == listName  &&
             tweet.Count == 100
             select tweet.Statuses;


return Tweets.SingleOrDefault().Where(x => x.CreatedAt > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-numOfDays)).GroupBy(p => p.User.Name).Select(g => g.First());

I’m getting the latest tweet from a user in the list using the last bit:

.GroupBy(p => p.User.Name).Select(g => g.First());

how can i get the latest 5 tweets by them?

Answer 1

I haven’t used the Twitter API, but the obvious first thought is to change it to:

.GroupBy(p => p.User.Name).Select(g => g.Take(5));

Then you’d get the tweets with something like:

foreach (var group in query)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Tweets for {0}", group.Key);
    foreach (var tweet in group)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("  {0}", tweet.Text); // Or whatever
    }
}
