# twitterHelper
JS Twitter helper. Get data from Twitter without using its API.
## Warning
It's based on a current implementation of URL structure of Twitter. It may change unexpectedly in the future.
## Usage
This helper helps to get Twitter data, like user timeline from Twitter, without using OAuth API. It will fetch data that are accessible through Twitter widgets.
### Get user tweets
Gettings user tweets is super simple. Just run the following method:
```javascript
twitterHelper.getTweetsByUsername('sunpietro');
```
And listen to the `tweetsByUsernameFetched` event dispatched onto the **BODY** DOM element. The event will contain tweets data (the latest 20 tweets by default).
```javascript
document.body.addEventListener('tweetsByUsernameFetched', callback, false);
```
## Browser support
Tested only with the latest browsers versions available on the market. ES6 support is required.
