Client Setup

To use sockethub from within the browser, you'll be establishing a websocket client and sending and receiving simple JSON objects to the client.

First, include the

sockethub-client.js

script, and then the following sequence connects to Sockethub, sets your Twitter credentials, and fetches your tweets:

This example assumes you're running Sockethub on

localhost:10550

The 4 values you have to put in for the Twitter credentials can be obtained by registering a Twitter app and then also generating an access token.

Now watch the console. You should see a series of "messages" events after a few "completed" events, logged to the console.

For more examples, you can browse to

http://localhost:10550/examples

and for more documentation see the Sockethub Wiki.
