FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package twitter-api-consumer
Twitter API Consumer
_
This is the small library to make calls to Twitter API. It uses kriswallsmith/buzz for HTTP.
Twitter API supports OAuth2 but for application-only authentication. This library currently supports OAuth2, but there are plans for OAuth1a too.
The concept for this library is to use Twitter API with as small as 4 lines of code
If you're using Symfony2 and Dependecy Injection you can even do this is 3 lines
By default the $result variable contains Result object implementing ArrayAccess, Countable, Iterator interfaces, with the structure equivalent to json response from the Twitter API. It gets it from DefaultConverter class. However you can change it, by using converters. Converter is the special class that implements ConverterInterface with just one method "convert". It gets raw input as a parameter, which by default is json string.
You can inject converter class for given API method into $consumer object like this:
And converter class is very simple and can look like this:
return array('data' => $result['statuses'], 'metainfo' => $result['search_metadata']);
Of course you can do more complicated conversion, like creating and persisting database objects and return for example Doctrine ArrayCollection.
The whole point of converter class is to externalize data conversion from one format to another and give you control over it. You can (and you should) inject converters via DI in Symfony2 like this (this is just an example):
yaml
twitter.consumer: class: %twitter.oauth2.consumer.class% arguments: [ @buzz, %twitter.app_id%, %twitter.secret% ] calls: - [ setConverter , ["/1.1/search/tweets.json", "@tweet.converter" ] ]
You can also paginate over the result. All you need to do is to make sure that your converter class returns following key:
The class TwitterSearchConverter above is the example converter which you can use for result pagination. This is how you do it:
$result = $consumer->execute($query); $api_calls++;
do { printf("Queried %s times, last time found %s tweets\n", $api_calls, count($result));
foreach($result as $key => $tweet) echo $tweet['text'] . "\n";
} while(($result = $consumer->execute($result->nextQuery())) && $api_calls++);
