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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package xima-twitter-client

![Extension icon](Resources/Public/Icons/Extension.svg) # TYPO3 extension `xima_twitter_client` [![Supported TYPO3 versions](https://typo3-badges.dev/badge/xima_twitter_client/typo3/shields.svg)](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/xima_twitter_client) [![Composer](https://typo3-badges.dev/badge/xima_twitter_client/composer/shields.svg)](https://packagist.org/packages/xima/xima-twitter-client)

This extension uses the Twitter/X API v2 to import and display tweets. It provides a scheduler command for automated imports and a content element for frontend display.

Requirements

To use the Twitter API, you need a developer account at developer.twitter.com. Register your application and obtain:

The database must be configured to use the utf8mb4 charset and collation. The standard MySQL utf8 charset does not support 4-byte characters such as emojis, which are common in tweets. Without utf8mb4, saving tweets containing emojis will produce an SQL error.

Install

Composer

  2. Add a new Account record inside this folder
  3. Enter the Twitter username you want to fetch tweets from
  4. Configure the maximum number of tweets to fetch

--dry-run Validate configuration without fetching tweets
-v Verbose output with detailed error messages

Examples

Configuration

Site Settings

Extension Configuration

Key Description Example

api_secret Twitter API Secret
access_key Twitter Access Token
access_secret Twitter Access Token Secret
image_storage FAL storage path for downloaded images 1:Images/Twitter

Troubleshooting

API Authentication Errors

Ensure all four API credentials are correctly configured. Use the --dry-run option to validate your configuration:

Image Storage Errors

Make sure the configured image_storage path exists and is writable. The path should be a valid FAL combined identifier (e.g., 1:Images/Twitter).

Rate Limiting

The Twitter API has rate limits. If you encounter rate limit errors, reduce the import frequency or the number of tweets fetched per account.
