@Zo-Bro-23 can this already be done with #2409?

@Zo-Bro-23, can this already be done with #2409?

On second thought, I don't think such a card is currently possible with the new Twitter API limits. Shields also had problems with their Twitter badge (see badges/shields#8837). @Zo-Bro-23 Let me know what you think.

What do you think twitter should provide an API to do so?

Technically this can be done using #2409, but limitations in the Twutter API need to be watched out for. I might be a bit busy in the upcoming days, so @Aditya-creator-bot feel free to take it up!

Also, based on the discussions I've been having with @anuraghazra and @rickstaa, there's a big chance #2409 might not be merged, so it'll be better to work with internal functions that will be available as our NPM package (not released yet; use @zo-bro-23/github-readme-stats-test for testing purposes).

We need to get the twitter data from some endpoint. Maybe there are twitter endpoints that are not limited, but I haven't yet found them 😅. If you know a solution, please let me know.

No, currently I don't know the solution.

@Aditya-creator-bot see this.

You can get tweets, followers, and likes. Not sure about mentions and views, but there'll likely be another endpoint for those.

Sadly that API is rate limited, so it won't work with the public Vercel instance (see badges/shields#8837). It could work with a Github Action, though.

@rickstaa I meant @Aditya-creator-bot to do it himself for his own personal use. If we're providing it you're right, it will get rate limited. Maybe we can have cards for gitlab, twitter, etc once the GH Action gets implemented.
