This gist will let you retrieve a series of tweets using the twitter v1.1 API. There's a few steps you have to do before you use this. 1. First, you need to go to http://dev.twitter.com/apps and create a new application. 2. You'll also need to download this library. https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth (You only need the tmhOAuth.php file) …
<?php
require 'tmhOAuth.php'; // Get it from: https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth
// Use the data from http://dev.twitter.com/apps to fill out this info
// notice the slight name difference in the last two items)
$connection = new tmhOAuth(array(
'consumer_key' => '',
'consumer_secret' => '',
'user_token' => '', //access token
'user_secret' => '' //access token secret
));
// set up parameters to pass
$parameters = array();
if ($_GET['count']) {
$parameters['count'] = strip_tags($_GET['count']);
}
if ($_GET['screen_name']) {
$parameters['screen_name'] = strip_tags($_GET['screen_name']);
}
if ($_GET['twitter_path']) { $twitter_path = $_GET['twitter_path']; } else {
$twitter_path = '1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json';
}
$http_code = $connection->request('GET', $connection->url($twitter_path), $parameters );
if ($http_code === 200) { // if everything's good
$response = strip_tags($connection->response['response']);
if ($_GET['callback']) { // if we ask for a jsonp callback function
echo $_GET['callback'],'(', $response,');';
} else {
echo $response;
}
} else {
echo "Error ID: ",$http_code, "<br>\n";
echo "Error: ",$connection->response['error'], "<br>\n";
}
// You may have to download and copy http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

Is there a way to use this to pull tweets from a list, rather than from a user? I thought it would be as simple as changing the URL and adding the necessary parameters, but that just throws a 400 error.

Great tutorial! I almost have it working. The only thing I think I am missing is the definition of the "callback=listTweets". Can anyone provide the code for "listTweets"? In the youtube video, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQaPt-gQVRI), around 6:25, the author mentions he programmed listTweets in his "php document". I assume he is referring to the "tweets_json.php" but I'm not sure. BTW I am new to the API functionality.

I am viewing the video in youtube you have made, and I followed all your instruction but I had encountered these problem:

Notice: Undefined index: count in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 17

Notice: Undefined index: screen_name in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 21

Notice: Undefined index: twitter_path in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 25

Notice: Undefined index: callback in C:\xampp\htdocs\Maps\tweets_json.php on line 34
[]

How to solve this?
