tang/twitter-rest-api

Classes that interface with Twitter REST API v1.1 using Application-only authentication

Twitter API Library for Applications

Install

You can install this package through Composer:, _(*1)

https://packagist.org/packages/tang/twitter-rest-api, _(*2)

Getting Started

Visit https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ to define an application on Twitter and save your API key information., _(*3)

Currently this library only supports application-only authentication. This means that any request to the API for endpoints that require user context, such as posting tweets, will not work., _(*4)

Searching tweets

$twitterSearch = new Tang\TwitterRestApi\TwitterApi([
    'api_key' => API_KEY,
    'api_secret' => API_SECRET
]);

$json = $twitterSearch->authenticate()->get('search/tweets', [
    'q' => 'laravel'
]);

You can pass in a 3rd argument to the TwitterApi::get() and this will return the JSON decoded., _(*5)

Getting a user's timeline

$twitterApi = new Tang\TwitterRestApi\TwitterApi([
    'api_key' => API_KEY,
    'api_secret' => API_SECRET
]);

$json = $twitterApi->authenticate()->get('statuses/user_timeline', [
    'screen_name' => 'uscitp',
    'count' => 10,
    'exclude_replies' => true
]);

You can pass in any application level base route to the get method along with query string params passed as an array., _(*6)
