- I used the Twitter, Instagram & Google Maps API'S.
- I used the Google Maps API to display some New School locations I frequent on a map along with a pop up label that appears when you click on the marker.
- I used the twitter API to do two things. Firstly to send out a tweet (one of a possible six within an array) every 20 seconds on my Twitter Feed and secondly to send out a bot generated reply everytime someone follows me on twitter.
- I used the Instagram API to grab the images from my instagram and post them onto an HTML page.
Twitter API
I used the Twitter API to perform 2 tasks:
- To send out one of six possible tweets every 20 seconds.
We run the node server
The Array with the selection of tweets, Math.random is used to randomize the order
The Result
- To send out a pre-generated message anytime my account was followed.
First we run the node server
Which runs the follow function
Resulting in the bot reply upon recieving a new follower
Google Maps API
- I used the google maps API to generate a map with multiple markers.
- All locations are Newschool owned places that I frequent.
- I used geographical coordinates to accurately pinpoint the locations using http://www.latlong.net/.
The Locations are defined in the locations array along with the coordinates
The Result:
The Infowindow is a label that appears when the marker is clicked. There's actually no discernible word limit but I chose to just add the Laocation name associated with the marker
Instagram API
I used the Instagram API to grab the images uploaded to my instagram account and then using jQuery append them to an unordered list in list form.
