I want to get total number of following count in twitter using TwitterAPIExchange API but the result does not contain following data.
How can i do this any idea?
The followers_count and friends_count are availabel but not following_count.
You can use the following code for follower counter:
<?php
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php'); //https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php
/** Access token (https://dev.twitter.com/apps/) **/
$access_token_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"
);
$twitter_api_url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json';
$getfield = '?screen_name=YOUR SCREEN NAME';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($access_token_settings);
$follow_count=$twitter->setGetfield($getfield)->buildOauth($twitter_api_url, $requestMethod)->performRequest();
$data = json_decode($follow_count, true);
$followers_count=$data[0]['user']['followers_count'];
echo $followers_count;
?>
For parsing data into xml format you can use following code:
<?php
$xml_data = new SimpleXMLElement(urlencode(strip_tags('https://twitter.com/users/google.xml')), null, true);
echo "Follower count: ".$xml_data->followers_count;
?>
Hope this helps.

With this code, I can upload image and print Media ID but I can't post a tweet with image. Could you help me?
Thanks
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
set_include_path('/home/.....');
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
/** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => "...",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "...",
'consumer_key' => "...",
'consumer_secret' => "..."
);
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$file = file_get_contents('aaa.jpg');
$data = base64_encode($file);
// Upload image to twitter
$url = "https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json";
$method = "POST";
$params = array(
"media_data" => $data,
);
$json = $twitter
->buildOauth($url, $method)
->setPostfields($params)
->performRequest();
// Result is a json string
$res = json_decode($json);
// Extract media id
$id = $res->media_id_string;
print_r($id);
////// Code is working to this line and can print media id like 213213214123123
$url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json";
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$requestMethod = 'POST';
$response = $twitter->setPostfields(
array('status' => '', 'media_ids' => $id)
)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
The media_id value can be used to create a Tweet with an attached photo using the statuses/update endpoint. Use your media_id as a parameter in the Statuses/update
I want to count all the tweets that are getting returned from below Twitter API Script. I couldnt find out how to count the tweets that get returned in array json..

$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => "XXXX",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "YYYY",
'consumer_key' => "XXX",
'consumer_secret' => "YYYY"
);
/** Perform a GET request and echo the response **/
/** Note: Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); **/
// Twitter Search API goes back to max last 7 days
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json';
$getfield = '?q=%24neos&count=100&since=2017-09-4';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$twitter_data = json_decode($twitter->setGetfield($getfield)->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)->performRequest(), true);
print_r ($twitter_data);
$countTweets = count($twitter_data['statuses']);

The php code below should work however, I receive an error, empty response, from my server. Ive tried shutting down firewall but no luck. Can you please help me I have been trying different methods for ages I have no idea whats wrongs. Thank you.
<?php
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
/** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => "",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "",

'consumer_secret' => ""
);
$url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json";
$requestMethod = "GET";
$getfield = '?q=cloud%20computing&count=5&result_type=popular';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
echo $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
?>
you need to use json_decode : http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => "xxx",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "xxx",
'consumer_key' => "xxx",
'consumer_secret' => "xxx"
);
$url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json";
$requestMethod = "GET";
$getfield = '?q=cloud%20computing&count=5&result_type=popular';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$response = $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
$string = json_decode($response, true); // there you handle twitter response
print_r($string); // here is the echo'd result, not needed after
// from here, you have access to the data
// then, a foreach loop will give you access to whatever you want to echo
foreach($string['statuses'] as $tweets) {
$tweet = $tweets['text'];
echo "<p>Tweet: $tweet </p>";
}
?>
updated with the loop example
How to get my followers count number with PHP.
I found this answer here: Twitter follower count number, but it is not working because API 1.0 is no longer active.
I have also tried with API 1.1 using this URL: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=google but is is showing an error(Bad Authentication data).
Here is my code:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=google'), true);
echo $data[0]['followers_count'];
If do it without auth (replace 'stackoverflow' with your user)
$.ajax({
url: "https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/widgets/followbutton/info.json?screen_names=stackoverflow"
dataType : 'jsonp',
crossDomain : true
}).done(function(data) {
console.log(data[0]['followers_count']);
});
with php
$tw_username = 'stackoverflow';
$data = file_get_contents('https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/widgets/followbutton/info.json?screen_names='.$tw_username);
$parsed = json_decode($data,true);
$tw_followers = $parsed[0]['followers_count'];
Twitter API 1.0 is deprecated and is no longer active. With the REST 1.1 API, you need oAuth authentication to retrieve data from Twitter.
Use this instead:
<?php
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php'); //get it from https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-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"
);
$ta_url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json';
$getfield = '?screen_name=REPLACE_ME';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$follow_count=$twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($ta_url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
$data = json_decode($follow_count, true);
$followers_count=$data[0]['user']['followers_count'];
echo $followers_count;
?>
Parsing the XML might be easier in some cases.
Here's a solution (tested):
<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(urlencode(strip_tags('https://twitter.com/users/google.xml')), null, true);
echo "Follower count: ".$xml->followers_count;
?>
Hope this helps!
Is the only way to get the follower count number in plain text is using cURL? or does the twitter API provides any such option?
https://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=tvdw (my profile, just replace the screen name)
Also available as XML: https://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.xml?screen_name=tvdw
Obtaining it in PHP:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=tvdw'), true);
echo $data[0]['followers_count'];
In API version 1.1 you can use: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/users/show
the 'followers_count' field should contain the follower count number.
In API version 1 which is deprecated you can use: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/users/show
