I expect it to be my new best friend. It’s based on some some existing methods for getting Data. Some open source projects have very minimal gearhead websites with download links, roadmaps, and release notes.  The SWX website is VERY user friendly for mid-level developers(and well-designed). They  host public server-side PHP, so the AS library works right out of the box.

For this project the AS2 API was the easiest to break in and get the data I wanted which lives in the method userTimeline, but I expect to use SWX on future experiments.
