OptionalapiKey

apiKey?: string

The apiKey (cookie) to use for authenticating Rettiwt against Twitter API.

Optionaldelay

delay?: number | () => number | Promise<number>

The delay (in ms) to use between concurrent request.

Can either be a number or a function that returns a number synchronously or asynchronously.

OptionalerrorHandler

errorHandler?: IErrorHandler

Optional custom error handler to define error conditions and process API/HTTP errors in responses.

Optionalheaders

headers?: { [key: string]: string }

Optional custom HTTP headers to add to all requests to Twitter API.

Remarks

Custom headers can be useful for proxies, avoiding rate limits, etc.

Optionallogging

logging?: boolean

Whether to write logs to console or not.

OptionalmaxRetries

maxRetries?: number

The maximum number of retries to use.

Remarks

Recommended to use a value of 5 combined with a delay of 1000 to prevent error 404.

OptionalproxyUrl

proxyUrl?: URL

Optional URL to proxy server to use for requests to Twitter API.

Remarks

When deploying to cloud platforms, if setting IRettiwtConfig.authProxyUrl does not resolve Error 429, then this might be required.
