Facebook & Twitter Bot
TIBCO provides a Twitter Plugin and a Facebook Plugin for TIBCO BusinessWorks. Last week I had time to test this. Looks like an easy job to get it running. I registered at developers.facebook.com and created an App for testing. Submitting Posts to Facebook, polling Posts or fetching user data works good. A token is required to query the FB api. I got one using the Graph API Explorer. But that token expires after an hour or so. Facebook requires an Oauth2 authentication for obtaining tokens. Oauth2 is not part of the Facebook Plugin nor the standard TIBCO BW palette. So will have to check how to get an longer lasting token or implement some logic in BW query one it from Facebook using Oauth2. For twitt first registered here dev.twitter.com to obtain authentication data. Twitter Plugin comes with Oauth1 so thats working, at least until Twitter upgrades to Oauth2 ;) Polling timelines works like a charm with the plugin … let’s see what more can be done
