This gist will let you retrieve a series of tweets using the twitter v1.1 API. There's a few steps you have to do before you use this. 1. First, you need to go to http://dev.twitter.com/apps and create a new application. 2. You'll also need to download this library. https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth (You only need the tmhOAuth.php file) …

tweets_json.php

<?php
require 'tmhOAuth.php'; // Get it from: https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth

// Use the data from http://dev.twitter.com/apps to fill out this info
// notice the slight name difference in the last two items)

$connection = new tmhOAuth(array(
  'consumer_key' => '',
	'consumer_secret' => '',
	'user_token' => '', //access token
	'user_secret' => '' //access token secret
));

// set up parameters to pass
$parameters = array();

if ($_GET['count']) {
	$parameters['count'] = strip_tags($_GET['count']);
}

if ($_GET['screen_name']) {
	$parameters['screen_name'] = strip_tags($_GET['screen_name']);
}

if ($_GET['twitter_path']) { $twitter_path = $_GET['twitter_path']; }  else {
	$twitter_path = '1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json';
}

$http_code = $connection->request('GET', $connection->url($twitter_path), $parameters );

if ($http_code === 200) { // if everything's good
	$response = strip_tags($connection->response['response']);

	if ($_GET['callback']) { // if we ask for a jsonp callback function
		echo $_GET['callback'],'(', $response,');';
	} else {
		echo $response;	
	}
} else {
	echo "Error ID: ",$http_code, "<br>\n";
	echo "Error: ",$connection->response['error'], "<br>\n";
}

I guess the gist description doesn't take markdown formatting, so here is the same thing, but a lot prettier.

This gist will let you retrieve a series of tweets using the twitter v1.1 API. There's a few steps you have to do before you use this.

2. You'll also need to download this library. https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth (You only need the tmhOAuth.php file)
3. You might need to download this certificate (http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem) and place it in the same folder as this php file.

You can call this php file directly to get the most recent tweets from the user owning the app.

You can also pass along some parameters

• tweets_json.php?count=10 //get the last 10 tweets
• tweets_json.php?count=10&screen_name=planetoftheweb //same as above from the planetoftheweb account (me)
• tweets_json.php?count=10&screen_name=planetoftheweb&callback=listTweets //same as above with a jsonp wrapper (listTweets();)

Hope this is useful to someone, I'll do a video explaining things soon.

Oh yeah...the video tutorial is now live on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQaPt-gQVRI)

i got an error "Error ID: 401
Error: " when i type the directory of "tweets_json.php" from my server.

I love this one. I was looking for a simple script that:

1. Returned a JSON feed of all of my tweets
2. Was easy to set up
3. Didn't require me to learn how to use the new Twitter API (yet)

I watched the YouTube video twice and followed the instructions. I was returning JSON from my Twitter feed in less than 15 minutes. Solid.

I have tried to get this working but am getting:
Fatal error: Call to a member function request() on a non-object in ******/index.php on line 29

$http_code = $connection->request('GET', $connection->url($twitter_path), $parameters );

hey show the index.php file too
how to convert that data coming on browser from my tweet feed to html and stylize my way

i got an error "Error ID: 401
Error: " when i type the directory of "tweets_json.php" from my server.

thanks :D

Is there a way to use this to pull tweets from a list, rather than from a user? I thought it would be as simple as changing the URL and adding the necessary parameters, but that just throws a 400 error.

found error400 while running tweets_json.php" from my server. how to remove it?

Thanks for you

Great tutorial! I almost have it working. The only thing I think I am missing is the definition of the "callback=listTweets". Can anyone provide the code for "listTweets"? In the youtube video, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQaPt-gQVRI), around 6:25, the author mentions he programmed listTweets in his "php document". I assume he is referring to the "tweets_json.php" but I'm not sure. BTW I am new to the API functionality.

I am viewing the video in youtube you have made, and I followed all your instruction but I had encountered these problem:

Notice: Undefined index: count in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 17

Notice: Undefined index: screen_name in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 21

Notice: Undefined index: twitter_path in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 25

Notice: Undefined index: callback in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 34
[]

How to solve this?

Any one help i got this error in browser
Notice: Undefined index: count in C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\tweets_json.php on line 17

Notice: Undefined index: screen_name in C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\tweets_json.php on line 21

Notice: Undefined index: twitter_path in C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\tweets_json.php on line 25
Error ID: 0
Error: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\cacert.pem CApath: C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter

Is it possible to get tweet fav(likes) and retweets count.
