 1 | # twitter-kv
 2 | 
 3 | > Short lived key-value store using Twitter user feeds.
 4 | 
 5 | ## Background
 6 | 
 7 | Sometimes you'd like to store a simple (key, value) mapping for a short time
 8 | using a service that's already running and is highly available -- like Twitter.
 9 | 
10 | *No access tokens required!*
11 | 
12 | Since HTTP scraping is used under the hood in
13 | [`latest-tweets`](https://github.com/noffle/latest-tweets), only the last couple
14 | dozen tweets will be available, making this ideal for use as a transient store.
15 | 
16 | ## Usage
17 | 
18 | ```js
19 | var resolve = require('twitter-kv')
20 | 
21 | resolve('noffle', 'test', function (err, value) {
22 |   if (err) return console.log(err)
23 | 
24 |   console.log('value:', value)
25 | })
26 | ```
27 | 
28 | This will look for a recent tweet in my timeline of the format
29 | 
30 | ```
31 | key = value
32 | ```
33 | 
34 | If it finds it -- let's say I have a tweet that says `foo = bar` -- I can expect
35 | the following output
36 | 
37 | ```
38 | value: bar
39 | ```
40 | 
41 | ## API
42 | 
43 | ```js
44 | var twitterKv = require('twitter-kv')
45 | ```
46 | 
47 | ### resolve(user, key, cb)
48 | 
49 | Queries the twitter user feed for `user`, looking for an entry of the form `key
50 | = value`. Calls `cb(err, value)` with the most recent value for `key`. Expect
51 | `key` to be `null` if no value was found.
52 | 
53 | ## Install
54 | 
55 | With [npm](https://npmjs.org/) installed, run
56 | 
57 | ```
58 | $ npm install twitter-kv
59 | ```
