I created a WordPress plugin using Abraham TwitterOAuth v1.1 and now I am trying to update it to v2 but getting lost in the Docs on how to implement the changes for TwitterOAuth. Here is my v1.1 code with a few changes to hide my credentials:
function my_twitter_feed_shortcode() {
// Twitter API credentials
$consumer_key = 'XXXXXX';
$consumer_secret = 'XXXXXX';
$access_token = 'XXXXXX';
$access_token_secret = 'XXXXXX';
// Create a TwitterOAuth instance
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $access_token, $access_token_secret);
// Fetch tweets using the API
$tweets = $connection->get('statuses/user_timeline', ['screen_name' => 'XXXXXX', 'count' => 10]);
// Generate HTML markup for the tweets
$html = '<ul>';
foreach ($tweets as $tweet) {
$html .= '<li>' . $tweet->text . '</li>';
}
$html .= '</ul>';
// Return the generated HTML
return $html;
}
add_shortcode('my_twitter_feed', 'my_twitter_feed_shortcode');
So after updating for v2 $connection->setApiVersion('2'); fetching the tweets no longer works. I also updated the code to try and use the demo v2 code and test my results: $tweets = $connection->get('users', ['ids' => ######]); so the updated code is now:
function stride_twitter_feed_shortcode() {
// Twitter API credentials
$consumer_key = 'XXXXXX';
$consumer_secret = 'XXXXXX';
$access_token = 'XXXXXX';
$access_token_secret = 'XXXXXX';
// Create a TwitterOAuth instance
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $access_token, $access_token_secret);
// Set API Version 2
$connection->setApiVersion('2');
// Fetch tweets using the API
$tweets = $connection->get('users', ['ids' => ######]);
// Generate HTML markup for the tweets
$html = '<ul>';
foreach ($tweets as $tweet) {
$html .= '<li>' . $tweet->text . '</li>';
}
$html .= '</ul>';
// Return the generated HTML
return $html;
}
add_shortcode('stride_twitter_feed', 'stride_twitter_feed_shortcode');
While this returns the ID, Name, & Username when debugging (doesn't return anything to the screen so still have to figure that part out) I am not sure how to show the timeline like in v1.1. The updated Timeline endpoint in the Docs say v2 is: /2/users/:id/tweets but how do I get that working in TwitterOAuth? Tried a few different things with no luck, so any help would be great.
UPDATE: Updated code thanks to @andytela, I also added a few things. Added the ability to let twitter generate my ID instead, just update twitter_name. I also am filtering out replies, showing retweets with their name, handle, avatar. Also I only need 3 results so I used foreach ($tweets->data as $index => $tweet) { to get the index of each tweet and then at the end I used this to stop once it reached the 3rd one (array index 2):
if ($index === 2) {
break;
}
Here is my full plugin code:
require_once( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'vendor/autoload.php');
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
function my_twitter_feed_shortcode() {
// Twitter API credentials
$consumer_key = 'XXXXXX';
$consumer_secret = 'XXXXXX';
$access_token = 'XXXXXX';
$access_token_secret = 'XXXXXX';
$bearer_token = 'XXXXXX';
// Create a TwitterOAuth instance
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $access_token, $access_token_secret, $bearer_token);
$connection->setApiVersion('2');
// Fetch tweets using the API
$response = $connection->get('users/by/username/twitter_name');
$user_id = $response->data->id;
$tweets = $connection->get(
"users/$user_id/tweets",
[
'max_results' => 5,
'tweet.fields' => 'created_at,author_id,public_metrics,referenced_tweets',
'expansions' => 'attachments.media_keys,author_id,referenced_tweets.id,referenced_tweets.id.author_id',

$tweetTime = date('h:i A', strtotime($tweet->created_at));
$authorId = $tweet->author_id;
$author = $tweets->includes->users[array_search($authorId, array_column($tweets->includes->users, 'id'))];
$authorName = $author->name;
$authorHandle = $author->username;
$authorAvatar = $author->profile_image_url;
$authorVerified = $author->verified;
// Check if the tweet is a retweet
if (isset($tweet->referenced_tweets) && !empty($tweet->referenced_tweets)) {
$retweetedTweetId = $tweet->referenced_tweets[0]->id;
foreach ($tweets->includes->tweets as $retweetedTweet) {
if ($retweetedTweet->id === $retweetedTweetId) {
$retweetedAuthorId = $retweetedTweet->author_id;

break;

Change this line
$tweets = $connection->get('users', ['ids' => ######]);
To this
$tweets = $connection->get("users/######/tweets" );
Worked for me
Then just change the loop to this
foreach ($tweets->data as $tweet) {
To get the tweets out
