I am attempting to fetch the latest tweet from a specific account with twurl so it can be done in the command prompt. I am not too familiar with the Twitter API which is why I'm asking. I don't belive there is any way to fetch the latest tweet without fetching all the tweets they have made for the past 5 days and filtering it out, but I could be wrong.

- First, you should authorize your twitter app and account with consumer API and secret keys.
twurl authorize -consumer-key <key> -consumer-secret <secret>
- Then can get the latest twitts of the specific user using
GET statuses/user_timeline
.
- by screen_name :
twurl 1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=noradio&count=1
- by user_id :
twurl 1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?user_id=12345&count=1
Please refer to twurl for more information about requests.
