Simple PHP Wrapper for Twitter API v1.1 calls

Instructions in StackOverflow post here with examples. This post shows you how to get your tokens and more. If you found it useful, please upvote / leave a comment! :)

The aim of this class is simple. You need to:

• Include the class in your PHP code
• Create a twitter app on the twitter developer site
• Enable read/write access for your twitter app
• Grab your access tokens from the twitter developer site
• Choose a twitter API URL to make the request to
• Choose either GET / POST (depending on the request)
• Choose the fields you want to send with the request (example: array('screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock'))

You really can't get much simpler than that. Here is an example of how to use the class for a POST request to block a user, and at the bottom is an example of a GET request.

require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php'); 

$settings = array( 'oauth_access_token' => "YOUR_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN", 'oauth_access_token_secret' => "YOUR_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET", 'consumer_key' => "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY", 'consumer_secret' => "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET" ); 

$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/blocks/create.json'; $requestMethod = 'POST'; 

$postfields = array( 'screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock', 'skip_status' => '1' ); 

$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings); echo $twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod) ->setPostfields($postfields) ->performRequest(); 

Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); and everything else is the same:

$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json'; $getfield = '?screen_name=J7mbo'; $requestMethod = 'GET'; $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings); echo $twitter->setGetfield($getfield) ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod) ->performRequest(); 

That is it! Really simple, works great with the 1.1 API. Thanks to @lackovic10 and @rivers on SO!
