    The easiest way to access the twitter api in PowerShell is to use one of the modules, that wrap around it, like MyTwitter.

    A detailed description on how to get started with the this module can be found here: https://adamtheautomator.com/twitter-module-powershell/.

    If you have to avoid external modules, you can use Invoke-RestMethod to call the api directly.

    The article linked above describes, how to create an access token and the api reference can be found here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/api-reference

    Another option is PSTwitterAPI. It provides a function for +125 Twitter API endpoints.

    Import-Module PSTwitterAPI

$OAuthSettings = @{
  ApiKey = ''
  ApiSecret = ''
  AccessToken = ''
  AccessTokenSecret = ''
}

Set-TwitterOAuthSettings @OAuthSettings

# Use one of the API Helpers provided:
$TwitterUser = Get-TwitterUsers_Lookup -screen_name 'mkellerman'

# Send tweet to your timeline:
Send-TwitterStatuses_Update -status "Hello World!! @mkellerman #PSTwitterAPI"

# Send DM to a user:
$Event = Send-TwitterDirectMessages_EventsNew -recipient_id $TwitterUser.Id -text "Hello @$($TwitterUser.screen_name)!! #PSTwitterAPI"

# Get the tweets you would see on your timeline:
$TwitterStatuses = Get-TwitterStatuses_HomeTimeline -count 100

# Get tweets from someone elses timeline (what they tweeted):
$TwitterStatuses = Get-TwitterStatuses_UserTimeline -screen_name 'mkellerman' -count 400

# Search for tweets:
$Tweets = Get-TwitterSearch_Tweets -q '#powershell' -count 400
