Minimal Objective-C HTTP client for testing UTF8 decoding issues

This example demonstrates a minimal Objective-C HTTP client that requests a single tweet from Twitter’s API and tests whether the response body can be decoded as UTF-8, logging either the decoded tweet text or an error. The code uses the Cocoa and Foundation frameworks (`NSURL`, `NSMutableURLRequest`, `NSHTTPURLResponse`, `NSURLConnection`) to perform a synchronous GET request against a local server URL. It explicitly checks for an HTTP 200 status and then attempts to create an `NSString` from the response data using `NSUTF8StringEncoding`, outputting a success or failure message via `NSLog`. The embedded tweet ID and emoji reference indicate the purpose is to validate proper handling of multibyte characters.

Minimal node.js server to pass Twitter API responses through JSON parse and stringify

This example demonstrates a minimal Node.js HTTP server that acts as a proxy for Twitter API requests, forcing JSON responses to pass through `JSON.parse` and `JSON.stringify`. It shows how to round-trip JSON data to validate or reformat it before sending it to the client. The server uses the built-in `http`, `https`, and `url` modules to listen on port 1337, filter URLs ending in `.json`, and forward those requests to `api.twitter.com`. The response is accumulated in a `Buffer`, parsed, and re-stringified before delivery, with error handling included.

Gist 85761

This example shows an Objective-C networking client handling a login response, checking whether the received object is of type `KMLoginResponse` before casting it to access staff login details. The code defines a method `request:didReceiveResponse:` on a class inheriting from `KMRequest`, which releases the request, forwards the response to a delegate, and then verifies class membership using `isKindOfClass:`. The implementation relies on the `KMResponse` base class and delegate callbacks for asynchronous communication, though the conditional logic is flawed because it uses `isKindOfClass:` on the class object rather than the instance, preventing the cast from ever succeeding. The example originates from a gist by Caged.

Gist d0ab7ec2c10ce36c96a324e961078911

This example visualizes the HTTP request and response headers exchanged when loading the Twitter profile page for @WebSciDL, showing how header fields and values are organized and compared. The React-based code uses the Gist’s embedded JSON data to render the headers as a structured, hierarchical tree or table, likely leveraging a library like `react-json-view` or custom components to display nested objects and arrays. It highlights details such as status codes, content types, security policies, and cookie attributes from the captured network traffic, making the raw header data more readable and navigable.

fussing with UTF-16 surrogate encoding in Javascript

This example demonstrates how JavaScript encodes Unicode code points above U+FFFF into UTF-16 surrogate pairs, using functions like `escapeUTF16` and `makeSurrogate` to convert a code point such as U+1F339 (a rose emoji) into the escaped `\ud83c\udf39` sequence. The code implements the surrogate math from the Wikipedia UTF-16 specification, applying bitwise shifts and masking to derive lead and trail surrogates for supplementary planes. It then verifies the result by parsing the escaped string with `JSON.parse` and comparing it to the literal surrogate pair. The source is a standalone gist with no external libraries or data visualization dependencies.

html: load latest tweet

This example fetches and displays the user’s most recent tweet, showing the tweet text and associated metadata in a simple card layout. It uses the Fetch API to load data from a local or remote JSON endpoint, then renders the content into an unordered list with blockquotes and figure elements. The code relies on standard DOM manipulation methods to insert the tweet’s text and any embedded media or author details, though no external visualization libraries are employed. The layout is styled with minimal CSS, and the data source is assumed to be a JSON response containing the latest tweet object. The figure element is left empty, suggesting it may hold an image or avatar in a fuller implementation.

really simple Flickr API code for as3

This example demonstrates a minimal ActionScript 3 Flickr API client that retrieves geotagged photos and exposes their metadata for custom visualization. It uses the `URLLoader`, `URLRequest`, and `URLVariables` classes to make REST calls to `api.flickr.com/services/rest/`. The code chains two API calls—first `flickr.people.findByUsername` to resolve a user ID, then `flickr.photos.search` with `has_geo` and `extras` parameters to fetch photo titles and coordinates. A custom `getURL` method constructs image URLs from farm, server, ID, and secret fields, while the returned XML is parsed directly without additional libraries.

Gist 360936

This example demonstrates a Tumblr API client in Ruby, showing how to fetch and model blog posts through a `Post` class that wraps raw post data in a `Hashie::Mash`. The code reveals the workflow of querying the Tumblr API via HTTParty, with support for pagination, post-type filtering, and direct lookup by ID. The visualization highlights the library’s role as an interface layer, not a rendering tool, as it contains no charting or drawing logic—instead, it focuses on data retrieval and object mapping. The example is purely code-based, with no visual output, emphasizing the API’s data-access patterns rather than graphical representation.

Requires

This example demonstrates scraping public Twitter profiles with Puppeteer, a headless Chrome automation library, to extract tweet content, timestamps, embedded image URLs, and adaptive media containers. It also shows scraping a live webpage via the Wayback Machine to capture a full-page screenshot at 1920x1080 resolution. The script uses Puppeteer’s `page.evaluate` to run DOM queries, Bluebird’s `Promise.delay` for controlled waiting, and `fs-extra` to write the collected tweet data as JSON. It navigates pages, clicks "show more" links, and scrolls to trigger dynamic content loading before saving results.
