What's the method to get all tweets for a given query?
- You need to login to http://dev.twitter.com to create an application and capture the below elements and store them in a file [app_tokens.php]
consumer_key = '';
consumer_secret = '';
user_token = '';
user_secret = '';
user_secret = '';
?>
- Download/unzip [tmhOAuth-master] from https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth and store under the same directory [ie Sites for Mac]
- Keep the below code with a file name [search.php]
< ? php
require 'app_tokens.php';
require 'app_tokens.php';
require 'tmhOAuth-master/tmhOAuth.php';
$query = htmlspecialchars($_GET['query']);
if (empty($query)) {
$query = "ModiInAmerica";
}
$connection = new tmhOAuth(array(
'consumer_key' => $consumer_key,
'consumer_secret' => $consumer_secret,
'user_token' => $user_token,
'user_secret' => $user_secret
));
// Get the timeline with the Twitter API
$http_code = $connection->request('GET',
$connection->url('1.1/search/tweets'),
array('q' => $query, 'count' => 100, 'lang' => 'en'));
// Request was successful
if ($http_code == 200) {
// Extract the tweets from the API response
$response = json_decode($connection->response['response'],true);
$tweet_data = $response['statuses'];
// Accumulate tweets from results
$tweet_stream = '[';
foreach ($tweet_data as $tweet) {
// Add this tweet's text to the results
$tweet_stream .= ' { "tweet": ' . json_encode($tweet['text']) . ' },';
}
$tweet_stream = substr($tweet_stream, 0, -1);
$tweet_stream .= ']';
// Send the tweets back to the Ajax request
print $tweet_stream;
}
// Handle errors from API request
else {
if ($http_code == 429) {
print 'Error: Twitter API rate limit reached';
}
else {
print 'Error: Twitter was not able to process that request';
}
}
?>
- Under browser run localhost/~username/search.php
