Menu
The default way to display a twitter feed has stopped working. Here is an example code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
The feed should display below:
<div id="twitter_update_list"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/stackoverflow.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=4">
</body>
</html>
Why is this not working? I suspected that the issue was on Twitter's end but this has not functioned for a while now. I created a fiddle in case you want to play: http://jsfiddle.net/9EvXn/

You need to update your code to Twitter's new API. This code will work:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="twitter_update_list"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=stackoverflow&include_rts=true&count=4&callback=twitterCallback2"></script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Pay attention to this line of code that is updated:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=stackoverflow&include_rts=true&count=4&callback=twitterCallback2
Someone recently wrote this on my blog (as a comment to an article on displaying Twitter feeds):
Just a heads up, if you are using this code I've noticed that it stopped working recently. I believe it is due to Twitter's new API. The culprit is the url that fetches the tweets. here is an updated url that seems to fix the issue:
var url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=' + username + '&count=' + limit + '&callback=?';
So perhaps just slap "api" in front of "twitter.com". And the /1/ I assume is a version number.
Edit: Apparently this was correct :P
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<div id="twitter_update_list"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=stackoverflow&include_rts=true&count=4&callback=twitterCallback2"></script>
looks ok to me.
here, i created a jsfiddle to test: http://jsfiddle.net/RASG/ULZBB/
try editing my jsfiddle, and see if it can help you.
