With Twitter turning off
the API 1.0 faucet on 6/11/2013, we have several sites that now fail to display timelines. I've been looking for an "If you did that, now do this" example. Here was Twitter's announcement.

Here is what we were originally doing to show
the Twitter timeline via API 1.0.
<div id="twitter">
<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/companytwitterhandle.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>
<div style="float:left;"><a href="https://twitter.com/companytwitterhandle" target="_blank">@companytwitterhandle</a> | </div>
<div class="twitterimg"> </div>
</div>
Initially I tried changing
the version in
the JavaScript reference URL like so, which did not work.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline/companytwitterhandle.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>
Then I looked at
the Twitter API
documentation (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview) which lacks a clear transition example. I don't have 4 or 5 hours to delve into that, or into this disheveled FAQ (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/faq#17750).
Then I found this API
documentation regarding
the user timeline. So I changed
the URL again as shown below.
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=companytwitterhandle&count=1"></script>
That did not work.
Using jQuery or C# ASP.NET MVC, how can I transition that interface from Twitter API 1.0 to Twitter API 1.1? My first preference would be for a browser client side implementation if that is possible. Please include a code example. Thanks.
