Need simple Twitter API v1.1 example to show timeline using jQuery or C# ASP.NET
- by Ken Palmer
With Twitter turning off the API 1.0 faucet on 6/11/2013, we have several sites that now fail to display timelines. I've been looking for an "If you did that, now do this" example. Here was Twitter's announcement.

Here is what we were originally doing to show the Twitter timeline via API 1.0.
<div id="twitter">
<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/companytwitterhandle.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>
<div style="float:left;"><a href="https://twitter.com/companytwitterhandle" target="_blank">@companytwitterhandle</a> | </div>
<div class="twitterimg"> </div>
</div>
Initially I tried changing the version in the JavaScript reference URL like so, which did not work.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline/companytwitterhandle.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>
Then I looked at the Twitter API documentation (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview) which lacks a clear transition example. I don't have 4 or 5 hours to delve into that, or into this disheveled FAQ (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/faq#17750).
Then I found this API documentation regarding the user timeline. So I changed the URL again as shown below.
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=companytwitterhandle&count=1"></script>
That did not work.
Using jQuery or C# ASP.NET MVC, how can I transition that interface from Twitter API 1.0 to Twitter API 1.1? My first preference would be for a browser client side implementation if that is possible. Please include a code example. Thanks.
