copied!<p>I made my own Twitter OAuth library. It still uses OAuth but the library is very small.</p> <p>Also, you still need to register an app for it and get the access token.</p> <p>If you want to check it out, here is it: <a href="http://blog.dt.in.th/2010/09/oauth-damnit/" rel="nofollow">I Just Want to Call Twitter’s API With My Own Account!</a></p> <p>Basically you need the <strong>consumer key</strong>, the <strong>consumer secret</strong>, the <strong>access token</strong> and the <strong>access token secret</strong>, so you have to register your application at [dev.twitter.com] (http://dev.twitter.com/) <strong>using the user you want to authenticate</strong>, then you will get the first 2. On the same page, click on "My Access Token" and you will get the last 2.</p> <p>Then you can:</p> <pre><code>$api = new OAuthDamnit(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET); echo $api->get('http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json', array()); </code></pre> <hr> <p>There are other alternatives such as using <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.oauth.php" rel="nofollow">PHP's OAuth Extension</a> which I think might be faster, but is is also very simple to use.</p> <pre><code>$oauth = new OAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION); $oauth->setToken(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET); $oauth->fetch('http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json'); echo $oauth->getLastResponse(); </code></pre> <hr> <p>Or if you don't want to use OAuth at all, you have <a href="http://simpleauthtwitter.heroku.com/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Simple Auth Twitter</strong></a> which can act like a basic auth gateway.</p> <p>You just have to sign it there and it will give you an <strong>API key</strong>. You use that as your Twitter password and use <code>http://simpleauthtwitter.heroku.com/api/</code> as the API endpoint.</p>
