Twitter Exporter

An lightweight exporter written in go that exposes very simple metrics like twitter_followers and twitter_following as gauge values for a prometheus server to scrape.

This is a project very early in development so expect breaking changes.

Usage

Set up the following environment variables

TWITTER_TOKEN=<your twitter bearer token>
TWITTER_HANDLE=<account of the metrics you wish to scrape>

and then run

go run main.go

Use Cases

A typical use case would require you to have a prometheus server scraping metrics for your twitter exporter at every X interval which can then be used to graph on dashboards like grafana.
