Instructions for Use
= Instructions for Use =
You Before using, you must enter your Twitter username and password. == Queries from Tweets == Once running, the gramplet will listen to ''all'' tweets from everyone, and respond to ''any'' tweet in this format:  #genealogy Research <SURNAME> in <LOCATION> For example:
#genealogy Researching Russell in UT
#genealogy Researching Morris in FL
 
These tweets will cause Gramps to search through its database, looking for the surname "Russell", with the string "UT" in the place fields.
 
== Data entry from Tweets ==
 
As another example of what you can do with this gramplet, in this case you can take a tweet and have it put information into your database. It listens for any tweet of the form:
 
# genealogy Note <NOTEID> <MESSAGE>
 
For example:
#genealogy Note N0002 Remember to visit Crown Hill Cemetery on visit to Indianapolis in March
 
The message will be appended onto note N0002.
 
NOTE: '''tweets can be seen by all people, so this is in no way private information. You could encrypt the message if you wanted.'''
