FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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-account-info

A package to get basic account info for a Twitter account without requiring a Twitter API login.

Latest Version on Packagist Tests Total Downloads

This is a basic package to get the number of followers and other basic account info from Twitter without the complications of the official Twitter API. As a non-official project it should not be considered totally reliable, and as of v1.0 this relies on a Nitter instance, so if they all break, this will too.

Abandoned

With twitter cracking down on API and scraping systems, the nitter workaround is so unreliable this package has become unusuable.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

You may require a Http Client library if you don't have one in your project. See here for more.

For a fast fix you can simply install guzzle first like so:

Usage

You use the system by passing in a twitter username

If your HTTP Client isn't automatically discovered you can pass it into the constructor:

Nitter

As of V1.0 this package relies on scraping the alternative twitter front end Nitter.

Nitter has multiple instances and by default this package will randomly use one of four (see: RandomNitterUrl class).

To specify a specific instance you can pass a url string in with the username:

For more advance use (like random selection, or running an uptime check to pick a currently working nitter site) you can pass in any class that implements NitterUrlInterface - which simply needs to return a url string from a static method getUrl.

You can find a helpful list of possible nitter instances here

Testing

For client packages be sure to avoid running tests that would execute a web request. Use Mockery to fake the Twitter AccountInfo class and return a manually created AccountInfo object.
