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 yii2-phirehose
Yii2 extension to the Twitter Streaming API
A PHP interface to the Twitter Streaming API (firehose, etc). This library makes it easy to connect to and consume the Twitter stream via the Streaming API.
Installation
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
or add
to the section of your composer.json file.
Usage
Component Configuration
Building a Yii Console Command
Activating extension
You can test Phirehose using the PHP console command:
Twitter will send a stream of follower information for the user account, followed by real-time data as it arrives.
To activate Phirehose as a keep-alive, always-on console command, we'll use the nohup command, e.g. no hangup, and redirect output to dev/null:
Ubuntu will respond with a job id of your process for future monitoring and termination:
[1] 1376
If you wish to check that the process is running, scan the task list for the job id:
ps -e all | grep 1376
You should see something like this:
0 1000 1389 20855 20 0 17436 928 pipe_w S+ pts/8 0:00 grep --color=auto 1376 nohup php yii stream > /dev/null 2>&1
And you can terminate Phirehose by killing the job id:
kill 1376
Record the data received from Twitter
We want to minimize the amount of processing the real-time response needs to perform. Essentially, we just want to record the data received from Twitter to our database—and nothing else. We can do other processing in our own background tasks without slowing Phirehose's streaming connection. My example just takes tweet data from the incoming stream and stores it in the stream table:
Don't forget to change the class in config file.

Goals
- Provide a simple interface to the Twitter Streaming API for PHP applications
- Comply to Streaming API recommendations for error handling, reconnection, etc
- Encourage well-behaved streaming API clients
- Operate independently of PHP extensions (ie: shared memory, PCNTL, etc)
What this library does do
- Handles connection/authentication to the twitter streaming API
- Consumes the stream handing off each status to be enqueued by a method of your choice
- Handles graceful reconnection/back-off on connection and API errors
- Monitors/reports performance metrics and errors
What this library doesn't do
- Decode/process tweets
- Provide any sort of queueing mechanism for asynchronous processing (though some examples are included)
- Provide any sort of inter-process communication
- Provide any non-streaming API functionality (ie: user profile info, search, etc)
How To Use
See the example subdirectory for example usage. In each example file you will need to insert your own oauth token/secret, and the key/secret for the Twitter app you have created.
- filter-oauth.php shows how to follow certain keywords.
- sample.php shows how to get a small random sample of all public statuses.
- userstream-alternative.php shows how to get user streams. (All activity for one user.)
- sitestream.php shows to how to get site streams. (All activity for multiple users.)
Please see the wiki for documentation.

It's recommended that you join (or at least regularly check) this group if you're actively using Phirehose so I can let you know when I release new versions.
