Search for vines through twitter. (Unpolished example of it in use)[http://vinefeed.heroku.com]

Enter some twitter search query like #tags or @user and getting vine information from the results of that query. Returns a Promises/A+ promise using when.js.

Enter a query with the options:

require('vine-search').search({
    query: String = Twitter search query. Default: ""
    retweets: Bool = return retweet results or not. Default: false
    count: Int = Number of results to return. Default: 10
    resultType: String` = Can be either:
        "recent": return only the most recent results in the response. This is the default.
        "mixed": Include both popular and real time results in the response.
        "popular": return only the most popular results in the response.
    maxId: Int = Returns results with an ID less than (that is, older than) or equal to the specified ID. 
    maxRetries: Int = The maximum about of retries. Default: 3
});

It returns an object of strings.

{  
  user: Twitter username
  id : ID of tweet 
  text : Tweet text
  vineUrl : URL of vine video page
  vidUrl : Direct URL of video (for using your own video solution)
  thumbUrl : Thumbnail of the video 
}

Unrealistic usage Example:

function successCallback(results) {
    console.log(results);
}

function failCallback(reason) {
    console.error(reason);
}

var testSearch = vine.search({count: 20});
testSearch.then(successCallback, failCallback)

TODO:

• Stream API (should be pretty easy)
• better retry logic for lack of results. Instead of just blank retrying, concatenate results and retry with updated max_id
• add since_id support.
