go get gopkg.in/tweetlib.v2

And then you can import it in your code like this:

tweetlib's Issues

Application only client using golang.org/x/oauth2

Here is simpler way to create an application only client.

import (
    "golang.org/x/net/context"
    "golang.org/x/oauth2/clientcredentials"
    "gopkg.in/tweetlib.v2"
)

var conf = &clientcredentials.Config{
    ClientID:     consumerKey,
    ClientSecret: consumerSecret,
    TokenURL:     "https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token",
}

func handler(cox context.Context, w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
oauth2Client := conf.Client(ctx)
    client, err := tweetlib.New(oauth2Client)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    u, err := client.User.Show("golang", nil)

If you are not using appengine just add :

import "golang.org/x/oauth2
[...]
oauth2Client := conf.Client(oauth2.NoContext)

Works like a charm :)

Btw great work! This is by far the cleanest twitter go client I've found so far. I'll submit some pull requests to complete the API coverage.
