How to print Twitter API request reply? - php

Question

I want to print all the tweets from the reply. What am I missing?
https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
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' => ""
);
/** Perform a GET request and echo the response **/
/** Note: Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); **/
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json';
$getfield = '?q=%23twitter';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$response = $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
foreach ($response->statuses as $tweet) {
echo $tweet->text;
}

Answer 1

The performRequest() method returns a JSON string, not an array, so you need to decode it $array = json_decode($response, true);.

Answer 2

You just have to use:
`echo $response;`
or instead:
echo $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
but I recommend using the first approach.
