var oAuth = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService("labnol");
oAuth.setAccessTokenUrl("https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token");
oAuth.setRequestTokenUrl("https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token");
oAuth.setAuthorizationUrl("https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize");
oAuth.setConsumerKey("CONSUMER_KEY");
oAuth.setConsumerSecret("CONSUMER_SECRET");
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch ( api, {
"method": "get",
"oAuthServiceName":"labnol",
"oAuthUseToken":"always"
} );
if (result.getResponseCode() == 200) {
if ( var json = JSON.parse(result.getContentText()) ) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getActiveSheet();
for (var u in json.users) {
var user = json.users[u];
ss.appendRow([
'=image("' + user.profile_image_url + '", 4, 50, 50)' : "",

user.status ? user.status.created_at : "never",
