Because of the Twitter API 1.0 retirement as of June 11th 2013, the script below does not work anymore.
// Create curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// Set url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/myscreenname.json?count=10");
// Return the transfer as a string
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// Close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
if ($output)
{
$tweets = json_decode($output,true);
foreach ($tweets as $tweet)
{
print_r($tweet);
}
}
How can I get the user_timeline (recent statuses) with the least code possible?
I found this: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline
but I get the following error:
"{"errors":[{"message":"Could not authenticate you","code":32}]}"
There are a lot of classes out there but after trying several none of them seem to work because of these updates at Twitter, plus some of them are pretty advanced classes with a lot of functionality that I don’t really need.
What is the simplest/shortest way to get the recent user statuses with PHP?
