Fetching profile image

[trante]

I'm trying to get profile image. I couldn't find an example in library.
So i used this code:
$params = array( 'screen_name' => $scrName );
$code = $tmhOAuth->request('GET', $tmhOAuth->url('1/users/profile_image') , $params);

But the output is as follows:
< html > < body >You are being redirected.< /body >< /html >

Is it possible to fetch image link by tmhOAuth library?

The profile image URL is located in the user object and it's generally better to get it through /1/users/lookup instead.
(https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/users/lookup).

But, to answer your question, the Twitter API documentation for https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/users/profile_image/%3Ascreen_name says This resource does not return JSON or XML, but instead returns a 302 redirect to the actual image resource.. This means you need to look at the headers of $tmhOAuth response to get the profile image URL.

If you wish to use $tmhOAuth as the way to get these images for caching you can do something like this:

$code = $tmhOAuth->request('GET', $tmhOAuth->url('1/users/profile_image'), array(
  'screen_name' => 'themattharris',
));

if ($code == 302) {
  $profile_image = $tmhOAuth->response['headers']['location'];
}

Hope that helps.
