php script to extract tweets from json data
I have a script in linux mint that fetches twitter statuses using the following input from the command line:
php twitter.php show username number
The script returns the output in JSON format.
How can I add to this script so that it removes the twitter statuses only from the json data and displays them in a list?
The code is shown below (my developer token data has been removed).
php twitter.php show username number
The script returns the output in JSON format.
How can I add to this script so that it removes the twitter statuses only from the json data and displays them in a list?
The code is shown below (my developer token data has been removed).
<?php
session_start();
require_once("twitteroauth.php"); //Path to twitteroauth library
$task = $argv[1];
$twitteruser = $argv[2];
$twitterkeyword = $argv[2];
$notweets = $argv[3];
$consumerkey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$consumersecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$accesstoken = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$accesstokensecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
if ($task == "show") {
function getConnectionWithAccessToken($cons_key, $cons_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret) {
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($cons_key, $cons_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret);
return $connection;
}
$connection = getConnectionWithAccessToken($consumerkey, $consumersecret, $accesstoken, $accesstokensecret);
//if ($task == "show") {
$tweets = $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=".$twitteruser."&count=".$notweets);
echo json_encode($tweets);
//echo $tweets;
}
echo $notweets

Please post the test data (the JSON string) that represents what you're working with. Please show us what you would want the PHP script to produce after parsing the JSON string. Armed with that information, we can probably show you a tested and working code sample.

Hi Ray,
Here is the output from the command:
php gettweets.php show Intel 2
I would like it look like:
username
'date and time' 'tweet'
Here is the output from the command:
php gettweets.php show Intel 2

It seems to almost work but i'm not sure where it is going wrong.
Just make sure you are getting json file that you have exampled in your post.
To make sure
after this line
$tweet_data = json_decode($json_data,tru
put
print_r($tweet_data);
Now check whether it does have a std object 'user' or not.
or you may submit output here and i can check what could be wrong.

PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant user - assumed 'user' in /home/cmoncada/scripts/getThis occurs because of the way PHP handles constants, versus the way it handles quoted literal strings in array keys. This article explains it. See especially the part about time bombs.tweets.php on line 35
