rails Twitter mentions

Afternoon everyone,

I'm trying to retrieve some twitter mentions using the rails Twitter gem. Retrieving favourite tweets is pretty straightforward, thanks to Ryan Bates;

Twitter.favorites("your_twitter_screen_name", count: 5).each do |tweet| etc...

However, when trying to do the same for mentions, which seems to have the same options in the documentation as favorites, it errors out with with; 

undefined method `each' for "bestluxuryhotel":String

(also after removing the each block )

Does anyone know how to correctly enter the mentions options and format?

thanks in advance, Andy

Also the reason that the each block does not work is because you are returned a stringtype instead of an hash or array.

Take a look at the following: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/mentions

Have fun

I'm not sure, but may be: 

  -Twitter.favorites("your_twitter_screen_name", count: 5).map do |tweet| etc...
