twitter-api-php

Simple PHP Wrapper for Twitter API v1.1 calls

Using this wrapper, API calls can be performed using only a few parameters.

Instructions:

• Create a twitter app: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/, enable read/write access in apps, and grab your access tokens.
• Choose a URL to make a request to from: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/ (example https://api.twitter.com/1.1/blocks/create.json)
• Choose the corresponding request method for the URL above (either GET or POST)
• Choose your postfields (example 'screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock')

Put this data into the following format and use the following code example (contained in index.php)

<?php
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');

/** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
$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 for REST request, see: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/ **/
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/blocks/create.json';
$requestMethod = 'POST';

/** POST fields required by the URL above. See relevant docs as above **/
$postfields = array(
    'screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock', 
    'skip_status' => '1'
);

/** Perform a POST request and echo the response **/
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
echo $twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
             ->setPostfields($postfields)
             ->performRequest();

/** Perform a GET request and echo the response **/
/** Note: Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); **/
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json';
$getfield = '?username=J7mbo';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
echo $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
             ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
             ->performRequest();      
             
/** Perform a simple search (Oauth isn't needed here) **/
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
echo $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
             ->search($url);

And that's it! Thanks to @lackovic10 and also @rivers on SO!
