Be sure to enter your API key and API secret. Twitter requires this for all requests. Also, do not include the API version in the base_url as this would break the authorization request.
Usage
Set options
The number of results to return. Each Twitter request has a maximum limit. If you specify a $count greater than this limit, the maximum results will be returned. (Default: 10)
The number of minutes the results of the query should be cached. Twitter sets a request limit per hour, so caching is a good idea. Setting this to 0 (zero) will disable caching. (Default: 30)
This package includes a Tweet object which greatly simplifies the returned results. If you want the full JSON response to be returned, set this to false. (Default: true)
Get tweets
Response formats
JSON
If you $returnEntities is false, you get a CodeZero\Courier\Response object, which contains the actual JSON response.
For more information on this Response object, refer to codezero-be/courier.
Tweets
If you $returnEntities is true, you get an array of CodeZero\Twitter\Entities\Tweet objects. This is a very simplified Tweet object, which only contains the most useful info about the tweet and its user.
For an overview of all available Tweet and User information, take a look at the source.
