I’m trying to learn how to work with twitter api. I’m still a little confused. If I want users to tweet using my input text boxes on my site, do I still need a database for those tweets? Or does the api handle the storage for the tweets?
Thank you!
It is all about your requirement and then your design pattern. Infact You don’t need any database to store tweets. In your case where you just want to tweet, You can do it without DB. Infact twitter-rest-api https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api is very good.
If you need to made frequent api call from your app, you can use caching to avoid too many frequent calls. For reference https://github.com/atsiddiqui/ReTweeted
