TwitterApio

TwitterApio is a small wrapper to use Twitter's API from you PHP app., _(*1)

Installation

Add j3j5/twitterapio to composer.json., _(*2)

"j3j5/twitterapio": "dev-master"

Run composer update to pull down the latest version of Twitter., _(*3)

Configuration

Open up the config.php included with the package and set there all your consumer keys and tokens., _(*4)

Alternatively, you can set your own config array and use it to overwrite the config file when you create the first instance of TwitterApio. The twitter config must be as follows:, _(*5)

$twitter_settings = array(
    'consumer_key'      => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
    'consumer_secret'   => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET',
    'token'             => 'A_USER_TOKEN',
    'secret'            => 'A_USER_TOKEN_SECRET',
);

$api = new TwitterApio($twitter_settings);

Use

Once you have created your own instance of the library, you can use any of the public methods to request from Twitter's API., _(*6)

If you decide to set your tokens from your own app instead of from the config file:, _(*7)

$twitter_settings = array(
    'consumer_key'      => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
    'consumer_secret'   => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET',
    'token'             => 'A_USER_TOKEN',
    'secret'            => 'A_USER_TOKEN_SECRET',
);

$api = new TwitterApio($twitter_settings);

// Now you can do all type of requests
$credentials = $api->get('account/verify_credentials');
$tweet = $api->post('statuses/update', array('status' => 'Testing TwitterApio!!!'));

Or the more interesting ones...the ones with iterators!!, _(*8)

$username = "masaenfurecida";
$tweets = array();
// getTimeline() can be used with any endpoint that returns a timeline (like statuses/mentions_timeline, statuses/home_timeline)
foreach($api->getTimeline('statuses/user_timeline', array('screen_name' => $username, 'count' => 200)) as $page) {
    if(is_array($page) ) {
        $tweets = array_merge($tweets, $page);
    }
}

$followers = array();
foreach($api->getFollowers(array('screen_name' => $username, 'count' => 5000)) as $page) {
    if(is_array($page) ) {
        $followers = array_merge($followers, $page);
    }
}

$friends = array();
foreach($api->getFriends(array('screen_name' => $username, 'count' => 5000)) as $page) {
    if(is_array($page) ) {
        $friends = array_merge($friends, $page);
    }
}
