Get tweets from specific user with Code Igniter

Question

I'm trying to get tweets from a specific user but can't find a way to do this from within Code Igniter. I saw several pages looking for solutions like:

• How get last 10 tweets of certain user using php?
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/422879/best-twitter-php-library
• http://www.jaisenmathai.com/articles/twitter-async-documentation.html
• https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION

But all of them seems to be for authorization and not for get tweets. Any help or advice on this topic?

Answer 1

Use this library on github :

TwitterFetecher for codeigniter and Read the documenation

Place TwitterFetcher.php on libraries folder .

on your controller /action load it

public function home() {
$this->load->library('twitterfetcher');

        $tweets = $this->twitterfetcher->getTweets(array(
            'consumerKey'       => 'yourkey',
            'consumerSecret'    => 'yourkey',
            'accessToken'       => 'yourkey',
            'accessTokenSecret' => 'yourkey',
            'usecache'          => true,
            'count'             => 2,  //this how many tweets to fectch
            'numdays'           => 30
        ));
    $data['twiites'] = $tweets  ; 
  $this->load->view('home/home',$data);
 }

CHAW!
