Get Users Profile Pic (Twitter API)

in General Discussion • Other • 4 months ago

Hey guys,

since a few days, I'm looking for a way to get Twitter Users Profile Picture. I had a look at Twitter API, but I don't understand the script how to realize this in Processing. Could someone please so kind to provide me?

Many thanks.

This works:

PImage webImg;
void setup() {
String url = "https://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image?screen_name=BarackObama&size=bigger";
webImg = loadImage(url, "gif");

}
void draw() {
background(0);
image(webImg, 0, 0);
}

v.k.

Well... I've created a textfield. When I write for example the twitter username "Processing", then I get the follower count.

Now, I will integrate the original profile image. So the image should be automatically displayed, when I write a username in this textfield.
