Answer 1

TweetSharp seems to be a decent option too .

Answer 2

Microsoft.Owin.Security.Twitter for authentication + C # user code with HttpClient and Json.NET

Something like:

using (var client = new HttpClient()) { client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/"); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = authValue; var response = await client.GetAsync("search/tweets.json"); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); var tweets = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Tweets>(json); } } 

Good to read:

• Extending HttpClient with OAuth to Access Twitter (February 2012)
• Web API call from .NET client (C #)
• White Papers: OAuth API , REST API , Streaming API

Answer 3

There is a linq to twitter project on codeplex:

Besides the Yedda library , you can read the “Feather Santos” blog from his experience.

Answer 4

Here is a list of all the libraries listed on the Twitter website.

Here is a link to the Twitter REST API documentation.

Here is a link to the Twitters streaming API documentation

Answer 5

You will find an updated list of .NET Twitter libraries on Twitter's developer site:

Twitter Developers: Twitter Libraries (for .NET)

• DotNetOpenAuth by Andrew Arnott - OpenID, OAuth, and InfoCard library.
• Hammock by Daniel Crena is an HTTP API client that supports OAuth authentication.
• LINQ to Twitter by Joe Mayo is a LINQ provider for the Twitter API.
• Chris OAuth-Dot-Net is an OAuth library for customers and suppliers.
• TweetSharp by Daniel Crenna and Jason Diller - Twitter API library built with Hammock
• DigitallyBorn's Twitterizer - Twitter API Library (Requires .NET> 3.5)
• TwitterVB by Duane Roelands - VB.NET Twitter API Library.

Answer 6

All good answers, LinqToTwitter is good. Also check out my post explaining the basics of using the Twitter API from C # / LINQ, including considering speed limits. (What is important to understand).

http://stuff.seans.com/2009/04/04/a-simple-net-twitter-api-wrapper-using-linq/

Coming soon is the version of my code that automatically adjusts the request speed to your speed limit. (The default is 100 or an hour, or 20,000 / hour if you or your site is white.)

Answer 7

Twitterizer looks like it might be worth it - even open source ... http://www.twitterizer.net/

Answer 8

You can also check Twitteroo . But the food is better. I have a hobby Twitter client project that looks like Google Talk (called jata). Here you can find it here in the codex if you are interested.
