Disclaimer: This is just an Idea and I am not so sure if this would work. Nor do I want this to be made for me. This is a little rusty explained idea. Using HttpService to link your twitter account to your game and make it so users in your game can get the latest updates to your game. IF possible you could try using it so when you post a certain hash-tag then it would display it in game except for displaying all your tweets.

I don't remember completely but I think you need to register for a key like all other popular website APIs.

Alternatively, someone could register for a key and create a Lua script that connects to their website or something and gets the tweets from a specific user and returns just the tweet/tweets requested based on date/dates.

Expanding on this idea, a great way to keep your followers involved in your game would to use DataStore to keep up with who has highest score/stats and make your game tweet something such as "PLAYERNAME has just beat OLDPLAYERNAME's Stats." or.... " Weekly Stats(MOST KILLS): 1. PLAYERNAME 2. PLAYERNAME 3. PLAYERNAME "

It would work, but ROBLOX Http Posts don't let us define extra headers (Authentication - as example) which is upsetting. One would have to make a custom thing for it entirely.
