Simple PHP Wrapper for Twitter API v1.1 calls

Changelog ||Examples ||Wiki

Instructions in StackOverflow post here with examples. This post shows you how to get your tokens and more.If you found it useful, please upvote / leave a comment! :)

The aim of this class is simple. You need to:

• Include the class in your PHP code
• Create a twitter app on the twitter developer site
• Enable read/write access for your twitter app
• Grab your access tokens from the twitter developer site
• Choose a twitter API URL to make the request to
• Choose either GET / POST (depending on the request)
• Choose the fields you want to send with the request (example:array('screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock'))

You really can't get much simpler than that. The above bullet points are an example of how to use the class for a POST request to block a user, and at the bottom is an example of a GET request.

Normally: If youdon't use composer, don't worry - just include TwitterAPIExchange.php in your application.

require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');

Via Composer:

composer require j7mbo/twitter-api-php

$settings =array('oauth_access_token' =>"YOUR_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN",'oauth_access_token_secret' =>"YOUR_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET",'consumer_key' =>"YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY",'consumer_secret' =>"YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET");

$url ='https://api.twitter.com/1.1/blocks/create.json';$requestMethod ='POST';

$postfields =array('screen_name' =>'usernameToBlock','skip_status' =>'1');

$twitter =newTwitterAPIExchange($settings);echo$twitter->buildOauth($url,$requestMethod)    ->setPostfields($postfields)    ->performRequest();

Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); and everything else is the same:

$url ='https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json';$getfield ='?screen_name=J7mbo';$requestMethod ='GET';$twitter =newTwitterAPIExchange($settings);echo$twitter->setGetfield($getfield)    ->buildOauth($url,$requestMethod)    ->performRequest();

That is it! Really simple, works great with the 1.1 API. Thanks to @lackovic10 and @rivers on SO!
