POGet Tweets from EpiTwitterJson
text
Body
copied!<p>I've been banging my head against the wall for a few days now trying to do something that should be so simple. I am trying to use Jaison Mathai's EpiTwitter library to retrieve tweets from my account. Here is my code to get my tweets:</p> <pre><code><?php $twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($__TWITTER['ConsumerKey'], $__TWITTER['ConsumerSecret'],$__TWITTER['MyAccessToken'],$__TWITTER['MyAccessTokenSecret']); $twitterInfo= $twitterObj->get_accountVerify_credentials(); $twitterInfo->response; // ^ This part works fine, I can get my user info and profile pic and whatnot $username = $twitterInfo->screen_name; $tjson = $twitterObj->get('statuses/user_timeline.json', array("screen_name"=>$username)); </code></pre> <p>As far as I can tell, ^ this also works as it should. If I var_dump($tjson), I can see the tweets that I want to access, among a HUGE mess of other data.</p> <p>My question boils down to this: from this point, how can i simply print out each tweet returned? Here's what I've tried so far:</p> <pre><code>foreach($tjson as $tweet) print($tweet) //^ Throws IllegalArgumentException, "Not an array or object" foreach($tjson->responseText as $tweet) print($tweet) //^ Warning: illegal argument. Doesn't print anything print_r($tjson->response) //Prints NULL </code></pre> <p>I thought $tjson->response would be what I want, because in the __get method in EpiTwitterJson, there is a line: <code>$this->response = json_decode($this->responseText, 1);</code>. Right after this line if I <code>var_dump($this->response)</code>, I get my tweets along with a little less data than var_dump($tjson) before. If on that same line I <code>print($this->response['status']['text'])</code>, I get a nice string of my tweet, which is exactly what I want. </p> <p>What I don't quite understand is why $this->response is set inside of the EpiTwitterJson class, but $tjson->response is NULL in my code. I've looked and looked and looked but I can't seem to find any code snippets to get tweets with this library specifically. I think it's just one of those things that must be so obvious and simple that my brain refuses to accept it. Obviously I could just crawl through $tjson->responseText, but I thought the whole point of the EpiTwitterJson class was so I would not have to do that? The <strong>ideal</strong> answer to my question will be code to boil down my $tjson object so i can say </p> <pre><code>foreach(something as $tweet) //do stuff with the tweet </code></pre> <p>Second best answer would be code to do this with another library. I only chose the EpiTwitter lib because it 'supports async' which sounds kinda cool if I ever decide to use it, and because it seemed like the simplest (ie least lines of code on my part). Quite frankly I really care more about making this work than understanding it; I can figure out what it all means later on.</p>
