Ruby: How to pass options to user_timeline method of twitter gem?

Question

I am using sferik gem to get tweets.

I want to pass following extra parameters to method "user_timeline":

count, include_rts and exclude_replies

Is it possible to pass these in as parameters?

If yes, how can I pass these extra parameters to "user_timeline" method and get the appropriate response back according to these extra params?

Thanks for the help!!

Check the documentation here. You should be able to pass the supported options like so:

user_timeline(your_user, {
 :include_rts => true,
 :exclude_replies => true,
 :count => 42 
})

Update As @mudasobwa correctly pointed out in the comment, if you are using ruby 1.9+, you can use the simpler syntax below:

user_timeline(your_user, include_rts: true, exclude_replies: true, count: 42)

As by Ruby 1.9, curly brackets and hashrocket syntax is kinda obsolete: `user_timeline(your_user, include_rts: true, exclude_replies: true, count: 42)`. – Aleksei Matiushkin Mar 29 '16 at 05:56
absolutely! just trying to be safe because OP never mentioned the version. – Shaunak Mar 29 '16 at 05:57
Thanks @Shaunak and @mudasobwa!! – Shashi Mar 29 '16 at 07:53
