1. About

---

Twitter-PHP is a simple PHP wrapper for Twitter 1.1 REST API.
It supports application-only authentication and single-user OAuth.

To get started just create application on Twitter developer site and follow instruction below.

It's really simple, take a look:

$twitter = new \TwitterPhp\RestApi($consumerKey,$consumerSecret,$accessToken,$accessTokenSecret);
$connectionUser = $twitter->connectAsUser();
$connectionUser->post('statuses/update',array('status' => 'Hello World!'));

1. Installation

---

• Include RestApi.php in your application

    require_once 'Twitter-php/RestApi.php';
  

• Or install via composer

     {
      "require": {
        "vojant/twitter-php": "dev-master"
      }
     }
  

2. Usage

---

<?php

require_once 'Twitter-php/RestApi.php';

$consumerKey = 'YOUR CONSUMER KEY';
$consumerSecret = 'YOUR CONSUMER SECRET';
$accessToken = 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN';
$accessTokenSecret = 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET';

$twitter = new \TwitterPhp\RestApi($consumerKey,$consumerSecret,$accessToken,$accessTokenSecret);

Login as application

$connection = $twitter->connectAsApplication();

Call API

$data = $connection->get(RESOURCE,PARAMETERS)

Login as user

$connectionUser = $twitter->connectAsUser();

Call API / GET and POST

$data = $connection->get(RESOURCE,PARAMETERS);
$data = $connection->post(RESOURCE,PARAMETERS)

3. Examples

<?php

include 'RestApi.php';

/*

 */
$consumerKey = 'YOUR CONSUMER KEY';
$consumerSecret = 'YOUR CONSUMER SECRET';
$accessToken = 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN';
$accessTokenSecret = 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET';


/*

$twitter = new \TwitterPhp\RestApi($consumerKey,$consumerSecret,$accessToken,$accessTokenSecret);

$data = $connection->get('/statuses/user_timeline',array('screen_name' => 'TechCrunch', 'exclude_replies' => 'true'));

/*
