A Hubot script using the Twitter streaming API to track tweets from keywords/users and will publish them in realtime in the room subscription has been created.

• Install via npm

npm install hubot-twitterstream --save

• Add the following code in your external-scripts.json file.

["hubot-twitterstream"]

• Create an application on https://dev.twitter.com
• Set the following environment variables before running hubot

export HUBOT_TWITTERSTREAM_CONSUMER_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export HUBOT_TWITTERSTREAM_CONSUMER_SECRET=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export HUBOT_TWITTERSTREAM_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export HUBOT_TWITTERSTREAM_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

• Run hubot

bin/hubot

Assuming you're using this script wity hubot-auth, so first you need to assign proper role to your username to access twitterbot commands

<your_bot_name> <your_user_name> has twitterbot role

Subscribe to keywords (launch command multiple times for multiple keywords):

<your_bot_name> twitterstream track github

Unsubscribe to keywords:

<your_bot_name> twitterstream untrack github

Subscribe to someone tweets:

<your_bot_name> twitterstream follow nodejs
// will listen to tweets from @nodejs

Unsubscribe from someone tweets:

<your_bot_name> twitterstream unfollow nodejs

List subscriptions in current room:

<your_bot_name> twitterstream list

Clear subscriptions in current room:

<your_bot_name> twitterstream clear

Note: The subscriptions are persisted in hubot brain so they will be restored on restart.

I'm working on this script to keep it update and functional as much as I can,
So feel free to buy me a cup of coffee :)
