How to Retrieve Twitter Timeline and Hashtags in PHP

How to Retrieve Twitter Timeline and Hashtags in PHP (Twitter OAuth API 1.1)

So, here we offer a guide that explains how to retrieve user timeline and hashtag with Twitter REST API 1.1.

Before we start, we need:

• You need to create an application.https://dev.twitter.com/apps.
• Now, you need to get your consumer key, consumer secret, access token and access token secret.
• We use a Twitter Library called?CodeBird-PHP.
• To make all the tweets we retrieve pretty, we will be using?Grid-A-Licious

?

THE HTML

Since all HTML Markup will be generated by jQuery, we only need a?div?with an id called#jstwitter

 
 <div id="jstwitter"></div>
 <div class="item">
 {IMG}
 <div class="tweet-wrapper">
 <span class="text">{TEXT}</span>
 <span class="time">
 <a href="{URL}" target="_blank">{AGO}</a>
 </span>
 by
 <span class="user">{USER}</span>
 </div>
 </div>
 

THE CSS

We are going to create a Pinterest style with Grid-A-Licious.

 
 #jstwitter {
 position: relative;
 }
 #jstwitter .item {
 -webkit-border-radius:5px;
 -moz-border-radius:5px;
 border-radius:5px;
 -webkit-box-shadow:0 0 3px 1px rgba(100,100,100,0.2);
 -moz-box-shadow:0 0 3px 1px rgba(100,100,100,0.2);
 box-shadow:0 0 3px 1px rgba(100,100,100,0.2);
 overflow:hidden;
 background: #fff;
 }
 #jstwitter .tweet-wrapper {
 padding:10px;
 -webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
 -moz-box-sizing:border-box;
 box-sizing:border-box;
 line-height:16px;
 }
 #jstwitter .item a {
 text-decoration: none;
 color: #03a8e5;
 }
 #jstwitter .item img {
 width:100%;
 }
 #jstwitter .item a:hover {
 text-decoration: underline;
 }
 #jstwitter .item .text {
 display:block;
 }
 #jstwitter .item .time, #jstwitter .tweet .user {
 font-style: italic;
 color: #666666;
 }
 
 

THE PHP CODE

We're not going to write our own PHP OAuth authentication, we will be using a Twitter Library called CodeBird-PHP (CodeBird Documentation)

 
 <?
 //We use already made Twitter OAuth library
 //https://github.com/mynetx/codebird-php
 require_once ('codebird.php');
 ?
 //Twitter OAuth Settings
 $CONSUMER_KEY = '...';
 $CONSUMER_SECRET = '...';
 $ACCESS_TOKEN = '...';
 $ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = '...';
 ?
 //Get authenticated
 Codebird::setConsumerKey($CONSUMER_KEY, $CONSUMER_SECRET);
 $cb = Codebird::getInstance();
 $cb->setToken($ACCESS_TOKEN, $ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);
 ?
 //retrieve posts
 $q = $_POST['q'];
 $count = $_POST['count'];
 $api = $_POST['api'];
 ?
 //https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline
 //https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/search/tweets
 $params = array(
 'screen_name' => $q,
 'q' => $q,
 'count' => $count
 );
 ?
 //Make the REST call
 $data = (array) $cb->$api($params);
 ?
 //Output result in JSON, getting it ready for jQuery to process
 echo json_encode($data);
 ?>
 
 

The Javascript / jQuery

Depend on the parameters, you can either search for hashtag, or load a user timeline. The script sends the parameters to the PHP file, and PHP script gets us authenticated, and PHP returns Twitter data in JSON format. The following scripts read the data and parse them in to HTML markup.

For more information about the Twitter Object, you can read it here.

User Timeline Search Tweets

 
 $(function() {????????
 ????????????
 JQTWEET = {
 ?
 // Set twitter hash/user, number of tweets & id/class to append tweets
 // You need to clear tweet-date.txt before toggle between hash and user
 // for multiple hashtags, you can separate the hashtag with OR, eg:
 // hash: '%23jquery OR %23css'????????????
 search: '%23heroes2013', //leave this blank if you want to show user's tweet
 user: 'quenesstestacc', //username
 numTweets: 21, //number of tweets
 appendTo: '#jstwitter',
 useGridalicious: true,
 template: '<div class="item">{IMG}<div class="tweet-wrapper"><span class="text">{TEXT}</span>\

 link: function(tweet) {

 var http = m2.match(/w/) ? 'http://' : '';
 return '<a class="twtr-hyperlink" target="_blank" href="' + http + m1 + '">' + ((m1.length > 25) ? m1.substr(0, 24) + '...' : m1) + '</a>' + m4;
 });
 },
 ?
 at: function(tweet) {
 return tweet.replace(/\B[@?]([a-zA-Z0-9_]{1,20})/g, function(m, username) {
 return '<a target="_blank" class="twtr-atreply" href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=' + username + '">@' + username + '</a>';

 });
 },
 ?
 clean: function(tweet) {
 return this.hash(this.at(this.list(this.link(tweet))));
 }
 } // ify
 ?
 ?
 };????????
 ?
 });
 
 

And finally, you run the script like this:

 
 $(function () {
 // start jqtweet!
 JQTWEET.loadTweets();
 });
