Question

I’m trying to assign the boolean value from a Twitter user’s attribute (i.e. ‘verified’) to a variable, but I”m not having much luck. I’m using Ruby — here’s the code:

profile = Twitter.users({"Oprah" => :verified})

    if profile == true
        puts "This profile is verfied."
    else
        puts "This profile is NOT verified."
    end

It always defaults to the else statement regardless of whether or not the Twitter user has been verified or not. I know I’m forgetting to do something simple. Any thoughts?

Try this

verified = Twitter.user("Oprah").verified

if verified
    puts "This profile is verfied."
else
    puts "This profile is NOT verified."
end

user Twitter.user for single user, and Twitter.users for many users

profiles = Twitter.users(["Oprah","dad"])
profiles.each do |profile|
  if profile.verified
     puts "#{profile.name} profile is verfied."
  else
     puts "#{profile.name} profile is NOT verified."
  end
end
