Why is this code not working? I need it to get the latest tweets for the search tag dog and then submit a status update with a reply to the user who sent the tweet with the search tag dog. I am using Abraham's twitteroauth found here: https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth/downloads
<?php
require_once('twitteroauth.php');
define('CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMERKEYHERE');
define('CONSUMER_SECRET', 'SECRET HERE');
define('ACCESS_TOKEN', 'TOKENHERE');
define('ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET', 'TOKENSECRETHERE');
$twitter = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);
$twitter->host = "http://search.twitter.com/";
$search = $twitter->get('search', array('q' => 'dog', 'rpp' => 5));
$twitter->host = "https://api.twitter.com/1/";
foreach($search->results as $tweet) {
$status = '#$tweet->from_user Here my reply would go';
$twitter->post('statuses/update', array('status' => $status));
}
?>
I have entered my consumer key, secret and tokens but removed them here.
Thanks!
The Twitter search API is separate from the REST API and doesn't require authentication. So using OAuth probably won't work.

I had a small problem in using twitter oauth in order to get some user data.
// TWITTER APP KEYS
$consumer_key = 'some data';
$consumer_secret = 'some data';
// GETTING ALL THE TOKEN NEEDED
$oauth_verifier = $_GET['oauth_verifier'];
$token_secret = $_COOKIE['token_secret'];
$oauth_token = $_COOKIE['oauth_token'];
// EXCHANGING THE TOKENS FOR OAUTH TOKEN AND TOKEN SECRET
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $oauth_token, $token_secret);
$access_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", array(
"oauth_verifier" => $oauth_verifier
));
$accessToken = $access_token['oauth_token'];
$secretToken = $access_token['oauth_token_secret'];
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $accessToken, $secretToken);
$connection->get("users/search");
$content = $connection->get("account/verify_credentials");
$media1 = $connection->upload('media/upload', [
'media' => $this->session->image['generatedAbs']
]);
$parameters = [
'media_id' => implode(',', [
$media1->media_id_string
])
];
$result = $connection->post('account/update_profile_banner', $parameters);
now I want to retrieve some information like the name and last name of the connected user , his profile picture link , email adress and his location if it's possible
I read the official twitter dev documentation and i didn't find a way how to use it in my method , i tried to debug my controller using this way
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $accessToken, $secretToken);
$connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/profile_banner.json?screen_name=twitterapi");
$result = json_decode($connection);
// debug the returned result
Zend_Debug::dump($result,$label="debug gass" , $echo= true);
So to retrieving information from twitter using php and Twitter Oauth is super easy , just allow me to enumerate the steps
1) Getting an oauth_token and oauth_verifier (steps are clearly explained in the question
2) The funny part is now :D , you need to copy paste the following in the controller of you callback page:
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $accessToken, $secretToken);
$content = $connection->get("account/verify_credentials");
Now you really have finished everything , just debug the result :D
Zend_Debug::dump($content->profile_image_url , $label = "achref gassoumi", $echo = true);
ps: i used zend debugger since i'm working , if you are working with other framework or with pure php just echo the following result for example :
echo $credentials->screen_name;
echo $credentials->profile_image_url ;
echo $credentials->location;
echo $credentials->profile_background_image_url;
To retrieve other information you might need please visit the official twitter Oauth documentation of GET account/verify_credentials.
I want to follow/unfollow some friends who authorize my Twitter app.
For example:
User signs in with my twitter application and he wants to follow some people
How does it work? I wrote some code here but not working, The session works fine, The user signs in but create/friendship not working, why?
<?php
session_start();
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
require_once('tmhOAuth.php');
require_once('tmhUtilities.php');
require_once('twitteroauth.php');
require 'twconfig.php';
echo $_SESSION['oauth_token'];
echo "<br />";
echo $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret'];
$twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerKeySecret, $_SESSION['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret'] );
$twitteroauth->post('friendships/create', array('screen_name' => 'savanpaun'));
?>
Simply put, I want people follow/unfollow friends using signup in my application directly.
here is a sample code to follow someone.I’ve had used Abraham library you can get it from here
https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth.
also this is a twitter documentation you can check it out
https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/friendships/create. and to unfollow someone just use 'friendships/destroy'
<?php
echo "<pre>";
$consumerKey = 'your consumer key';
$consumerSecret = 'your consumer secret key';
$oAuthToken = 'your oauth token';
$oAuthSecret = 'your oauth secret';
require_once('twitteroauth.php');
$tweet = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, $oAuthToken, $oAuthSecret);
//get friend list
$list= $tweet->post('friendships/create', array('screen_name' => 'archish9'));
var_dump(json_decode($list));
print_r($list);
?>
I copy paste you example and replace in the last line with destroy command
<?php
session_start();
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
require_once('tmhOAuth.php');
require_once('tmhUtilities.php');
require_once('twitteroauth.php');
require 'twconfig.php';
echo $_SESSION['oauth_token'];
echo "<br />";
echo $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret'];
$twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerKeySecret, $_SESSION['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret'] );
$twitteroauth->post('friendships/destroy', array('user_id' => 'iduser'));
?>
this line
$twitteroauth->post('friendships/destroy', array('user_id' => 'iduser'));
I hope that this help you in some way
best
Hi all i developed an application for posting tweet using PHp with twitter api 1.1. But that option is only working for me only. If any one authenticated and try to send tweet using that. It's posting tweet on my wall.
How to make this generalized for anyone.
YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET = 'xxxx';
$twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth(YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET);
// Requesting authentication tokens, the parameter is the URL we will be redirected to
$request_token = $twitteroauth->getRequestToken('http://xxxx/xxxx/getTwitterData.php');
//print_r($request_token);
$twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth(YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET, $request_token['oauth_token'], $request_token['oauth_token_secret']);
$tmessage = $_POST['message'];
$content = $twitteroauth->post('statuses/update', array('status' => $tmessage));
it's posting tweets on your wall because you're using access token and secret of the app, or you're the authenticated user. You need to log in the user you want to post for, get their access token and secret, then use consumer key, secret, user access token and user access secret to post on their behalf.
It's a bit unclear what you're trying to do, but here's a sample post action with Abraham William's library, which you're using:
require_once('twitteroauth.php');
$key = "***";
$secret = "***";
$token = "***";
$token_secret = "***";
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($key, $secret, $token, $token_secret);
$message = "whatever";
$status = $connection->post($message);
$response= $connection->http_code;
if($response !=200){
echo "ERROR";
}else{
echo "life is good";
}
I'm unable to get any results following to post a tweet from php. I've registered my app with twitter and got my credentials. I've made a page called access_tokens.php, and downloaded an OAuth library called tmhOAuth.php. I'm following an example tutorial exactly, and nothing seems to be appearing - is there any help that can be offered?
access_tokens.php
<?php
$consumer_key = 'xx';
$consumer_secret = 'xx';
$user_token = 'xx';
$user_secret = 'xx';
//xx is the replacement for my actual values
?>
post_tweet.php
<?php
//Load the app's keys into memory
require 'app_tokens.php';
//Load the tmOAuth library
require 'tmhOAuth.php';
//Create an OAuth connection to the Twitter API
$connection = new tmhOAut(array(
'consumer_key' => $consumer_key,
'consumer_secret'=> $consumer_secret,
'user_token' => $user_token,
'user_secret' => $user_secret
));
//Send a tweet
$code = $connection -> request('POST',
$connection -> url('1.1/statuses/update'),
array('status' => 'Hello Twitter'));
//A response code of 200 is a success
if ($code == 200){
print "Tweet sent";
}
else{
print "Error:$code";
}
?>
Find if that OAuth library has support yet, because I tried to do the same thing some months ago and I found some posts telling that since march it couldn't be used no more. Anyway, I'm not sure if it was that library, but if you code twitter related you have to be aware that they change their API often.
I am currently trying to integreate twitter into a php web app that I am working on with OAuth.
I have an HTML page which provides a link to the twitter app authentication url which appears to be working fine and is showing the authentication screen.
Below is the code that calls the function.
if (!isset($_GET['oauth_token']))
{
//include("phpHandler/twitterLib/secret.php");
getTwitterURL($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
}
The consumer_key and consumer_secret are included within a php file.
Below is the code that gets the twitter authorisation url.
function getTwitterUrl($consumer_key, $consumer_secret)
{
$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$url = $twitterObj->getAuthorizationUrl();
echo '<a class="linkButtons" href="'.$url.'">Add Twitter</a>';
}
This redirect back to the page fine and then I call the authentication method to retrieve info like twitter username. Below is the function that does the authentication
function authenticate($consumer_key, $consumer_secret)
{
require ("twitterLib/EpiCurl.php");
require ("twitterLib/EpiOAuth.php");
require ("twitterLib/EpiTwitter.php");
require ("twitterLib/secret.php");*/
$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$twitterObj->setToken($_GET['oauth_token']);
$token = $twitterObj->getAccessToken();
$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$twitterObj->setToken($token->oauth_token, $token->oauth_token_secret);
$token = $twitterObj->getAccessToken();
$twitterObj->setToken($token->oauth_token, $token->oauth_token_secret);
$_SESSION['ot'] = $token->oauth_token;
$_SESSION['ots'] = $token->oauth_token_secret;
$twitterInfo= $twitterObj->get_accountVerify_credentials();
echo '<pre>';
print_r($twitterInfo->response);
}
The echo and print_r is to show the response return from twitter.
I am getting the following error printed out in the array
Array (
[error] => Invalid / expired Token
[request] => /account/verify_credentials.json )
How can I fix this error. I don't know why its invalid or expired, I have closed the browser and started again but get the same error appear.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Your access token will be invalid if a user explicitly rejects your application from their settings or if a Twitter admin suspends your application. If your application is suspended there will be a note on your application page saying that it has been suspended.
Many users trust an application to read their information but not necessarily change their name or post new statuses. Updating information via the Twitter API - be it name, location or adding a new status - requires and HTTP POST. We stuck with the same restriction when implementing this. Any API method that requires an HTTP POST is considered a write method and requires read & write access.
Whatever your storage system may be, you'll need to begin storing an oauth_token and oauth_token_secret (collectively, an "access token") for each user of your application. The oauth_token_secret should be stored securely. Remember, you'll be accessing these values for every authenticated request your application makes to the Twitter API, so store them in a way that will scale to your user base. When you're using OAuth, you should no longer be storing passwords for any of your users.
require '../tmhOAuth.php';
require '../tmhUtilities.php';
$tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth(array(
'consumer_key' => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
'consumer_secret' => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET',
'user_token' => 'AN_ACCESS_TOKEN',
'user_secret' => 'AN_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET',
));
// we're using a hardcoded image path here. You can easily replace this with an uploaded image-see images.php example)
// 'image = "#{$_FILES['image']['tmp_name']};type={$_FILES['image']['type']};filename={$_FILES['image']['name']}",
$image = "./dickvandyke.jpg';
$code = $tmhOAuth->request('POST', 'https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
array(
'media[]' => "#{$image}",
'status' => "Don't slip up" // Don't give up..
),
true, // use auth
true // multipart
);
if ($code == 200) {
tmhUtilities::pr(json_decode($tmhOAuth->response['response']));
} else {
tmhUtilities::pr($tmhOAuth->response['response']);
}
I've managed to find the problem. I always creating two new EpiTwitter objects in the authenticate function.
I worked on new Twitter API. It is working fine for me with following code I did.
<?php
require "vendor/autoload.php";
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
$consumer_key = "XXXXXXX";
$consumer_secret = "XXXXXXX";
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$request_token= $connection->oauth('oauth/request_token', array('oauth_callback' => "http://callbackurlhere.com/callback.php"));
$url = $connection->url("oauth/authorize", array("oauth_token" => $request_token['oauth_token']));
header('Location: '. $url);
?>
callback.php code below to obtain the permanent oauthToken and save it in database for further use:
<?php
require "vendor/autoload.php";
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
// session_start();
if(isset($_REQUEST['oauth_verifier'])){
$oauth_access_token = $_REQUEST['oauth_token'];
$oauth_access_token_secret = $_REQUEST['oauth_verifier'];
$consumer_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$consumer_secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret,$oauth_access_token , $oauth_access_token_secret );
$access_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", array("oauth_verifier" => $oauth_access_token_secret));
var_dump($access_token); die("--success here--");// Obtain tokens and save it in database for further use.
}
?>
