Twitter API

[wsg14]

Where's the best place to learn the twitter API other than the actual twitter API wiki? Thanks.

I think that should help.

The twitter API is actually really simple to use. IMO the API wiki is without a doubt the best place to learn it, but if you don't want to use that I'd suggest using Jaysuns link, even though I believe the wiki will tell you everything you need to know.

The wiki is going to tell you everything you need to know, and it is updated and changed so much, that's the best place to learn if you want the most up to date and accurate information on the correct methods and procedures to use.

My main problem is I don't know how to convert what it's saying into PHP.

Sorry to go off-topic, but does anybody actually use twitter anymore? lol.

And, I imagine the twitter website would be the best place..

Yeah, of course they use it.. tons.

I've looked at those, they don't really say what they're doing. They just give you code. You've worked with the twitter API before, no? Mind giving me an example PHP code to post to Twitter?

[Dentafrice]

All those have examples.

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/20199.html

That's the MyTwitter library.. that's not just giving you code.. that's giving you tons of examples.

If you can't read through the API docs, and at least try to understand it, then there's no use in you trying yet, until you build up your skills.. because it is really relatively easy.

You're just sending POST requests to the server that are authenticated.

Just read through the doc, and you should be able to understand it..

Don't be a complete moron, of course people use Twitter. More people use it now than ever before.
