Simple PHP Wrapper for Twitter API v1.1 calls
Instructions in StackOverflow post here with examples. This post shows you how to get your tokens and more. If you found it useful, please upvote / leave a comment! :)
The aim of this class is simple. You need to:
- Include the class in your PHP code
- Create a twitter app on the twitter developer site
- Enable read/write access for your twitter app
- Grab your access tokens from the twitter developer site
- Choose a twitter API URL to make the request to
- Choose either GET / POST (depending on the request)
- Choose the fields you want to send with the request (example:
array('screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock')
)
You really can't get much simpler than that. The above bullet points are an example of how to use the class for a POST request to block a user, and at the bottom is an example of a GET request.
Installation
Normally: If you don't use composer, don't worry - just include TwitterAPIExchange.php in your application.
Via Composer: If you realise it's 2015 now and you do use composer, here's what you add to your composer.json file to have TwitterAPIExchange.php automatically imported into your vendors folder:
{
"require": {
"j7mbo/twitter-api-php": "dev-master"
}
}
Of course, you'll then need to run php composer.phar update
.
How To Use
Include the class file
Set access tokens
Choose URL and Request Method
Choose POST fields
Perform the request!
GET Request Example
Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); and everything else is the same:
That is it! Really simple, works great with the 1.1 API. Thanks to @lackovic10 and @rivers on SO!
