A tool for connecting to the twitter 1.1 API (via WordPress http API) using your Twitter app credentials.

To get started, simply pass your twitter app's credentials to Twitter::start( $your_credentials ). The only thing that matters is that this array is in this order, the keys can be anything. You can even pass them in with a query string: '0=YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY&1=YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET&2=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN&3=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET'

I tried to purposely leave the names of these values out of the source code so that your app's credentials are somewhat secured through obscurity. I preferred this since my plugin that depends on this library will be distributed.

$app = array(
	'consumer_key'        => 'YOUR CONSUMER KEY',
	'consumer_secret'     => 'YOUR CONSUMER SECRET',
	'access_token'        => 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN',
	'access_token_secret' => 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET',
);
// initiate your app
$TwitterWP = TwitterWP::start( $app );

• Check if a user exits

   $TwitterWP->user_exists( $user = '' );

• Get a number of a user's tweets

   $TwitterWP->get_tweets( $user = '', $count = 1 );

• Get a number of search term tweets

   $TwitterWP->get_search_results( $search, $count = 100 );

• Get a number of tweets from a user's list

   $TwitterWP->get_list_tweets( $user = '', $list = '', $count = 1 );

• Get a number of tweets from a user's favorites

   $TwitterWP->get_favorite_tweets( $user = '', $count = 1 );

• Access the user profile endpoint

   $TwitterWP->get_user( $user = '' );

• Check your apps rate limit status

   $TwitterWP->rate_limit_status( $params = array() );

• A generic helper for querying twitter via the bearer token.

   $TwitterWP->token_endpoint( $trail, $params = array() );

• Returns your twitter app credentials (if they exist)

   $TwitterWP->get_app_creds();

<?php
/**
 * Example TwitterWP usage
 */
function twitterwp_example_test() {

	require_once( 'lib/TwitterWP.php' );

	// app credentials
	// (must be in this order)
	$app = array(
		'consumer_key'        => 'CONSUMER_KEY',
		'consumer_secret'     => 'CONSUMER_SECRET',
		'access_token'        => 'ACCESS_TOKEN',
		'access_token_secret' => 'ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET',
	);
	// initiate your app
	$tw = TwitterWP::start( $app );

	// Also works:
	// $tw = TwitterWP::start( '0=CONSUMER_KEY&1=CONSUMER_SECRET&2=ACCESS_TOKEN&3=ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET' );

	$user = 'jtsternberg';
	// bail here if the user doesn't exist
	if ( ! $tw->user_exists( $user ) ) {
		return;
	}

	echo '<div id="message" class="updated">';
	echo '<pre>'. print_r( $tw->get_tweets( $user, 5 ), true ) .'</pre>';
	echo '</div>';

	// Now let's check our app's rate limit status
	$rate_status = $tw->rate_limit_status();
	echo '<div id="message" class="updated">';

	if ( is_wp_error( $rate_status ) ) {
		$tw->show_wp_error( $rate_status );
	} else {
		echo '<pre>'. print_r( $rate_status, true ) .'</pre>';
	}

	echo '</div>';

}
add_action( 'all_admin_notices', 'twitterwp_example_test' );
