Help with Abraham's twitteroauth

fottyo · 2013-01-31T17:19:38.000Z

I get a blank page too. The script was working until today. While trying to figure out what went wrong, I went to twitter.com and saw that twitter was down. When it came back up, i checked my script and it still wasn’t working. I checked that I have the correct extensions. I checked and have Openssl and curl and Oauth isn’t installed when i checked in php config. I have bluehost and I’m using PHP 5.3.

<?php include "OAuth.php"; include "twitteroauth.php"; function getConnectionWithAccessToken($oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret) { $connection = new TwitterOAuth("ypwEDRXZKUQWWgXlE6E6g", "eiXSRRNlUxVW4D9TO5an47Yx89i8zSOQ0tsWFX3jC0", $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret); return $connection; } $connection = getConnectionWithAccessToken("373125930-7kOXqeKj8Ifozz6NwdEEP18qLrUv54Nra1LmYMtl", "5ISx0132nFmdSagNoLcykSH7j7xreKZY1pWqAaWxM0s"); $content = $connection->get('statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=infor&count=40'); $x = count($content); for ($i=0; $i<$x; $i++) { echo "
" .$content[$i]->user->screen_name. "\r\n"; echo "
" .$content[$i]->text. "\r\n"; echo "
\r\n"; } ?>

i got it working, not sure how but it’s working.

If that is your real consumer key/secret, you should reset them ASAP.

Hi,

I have a weird issue with twitter oauth, I have to go through clearsessions.php for $_SESSION to be able to pick up the values, otherwise if I dont, the following condition on line 14 in callback.php returns true and I get redirected to clearsessions.php :
if (isset($_REQUEST[‘oauth_token’]) && $_SESSION[‘oauth_token’] !== $_REQUEST[‘oauth_token’])
I tried to var_dump $_SESSION and here is the output (which makes sense according to the condition above : array(1) { [“oauth_status”]=> string(8) “oldtoken” }

I have tried several internet browser, and have tried incognito mode on chrome, but no luck there. I always have to go through clearsessions.php, note that if I comment the line header() and stay on callback.php as I return from twitter.com auth, I cannot go through the entire process if I just go back to redirect.php without going to clearsessions.php first, it would just send me back to callback.php and so on.

I really think that it’s just a local issue as many of my friend don’t experience the same problem, and the script has not been edited, and is hosted on OVH (the biggest french hosting company), here is the url : http://www.la-touline.fr/apit2/, but down teh line any issue I have could be experienced by other people at some point…

I’m really desperate, any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Bastien

PS : Abraham, if you read this, note that I’m the one who sent you an email two days ago, I thought I got it workin when I saw your reply, but I suppose I was wrong. Sorry for the trouble.

update 1 : Ive found an other person who encounters the same issue with the script

update 2 : Ive done a var_dump($_REQUEST); on connect.php, and here are the outputs :

before first connection query (the one which fails), $_REQUEST shows NULL
after going through clearsessions.php : array(2) { [“PHPSESSID”]=> string(26) “ehnkb8qedqhgib3gh5cfi906q4” [“start”]=> string(10) “R118742758” }

I’m not sure I understand where those variable come from as why do I not get them the first time ? Where am i suppose to pull them out from…I mean how can I define them both, are they meant to have a specific value or is it just a random value, I’m really confused…?

edit 3 : Alright, I’ve commented the line sessions_destroy(); in clearsessions.php, and now if I go through clearsessions.php before goin to connect.php, I get a $_REQUEST variable defined, but i still cannot get a query workin after connecting to twitter, but going through clearsessions.php again (still without sessions_destroy() makes it work, and I can egt a query workin after connecting to twitter again.

Alright so if I go over the issue again, there are three interesting cases :

with the script as I d/l it : I need to log twice onto twitter to get a query output
if I comment the header() goin to clearsessions.php in the file callback.php, I cannot get anything workin at all unless i go through clearsessions.php
if I comment destroy_session(); in clearsessions.php, I still need to go through it once to be able to get it workin.

This is really confusing :-/

bastienbotella · 2013-03-02T11:06:39.000Z

Alright, I’ve kind of found a way to get around this issue, Ive created an other page with only a session_start() and a header() goin to connect.php, and this is enough to initialize whatever need to be. I hope that will be useful to somebody else.

Hey Guys,

I am using the twitteroauth by Arbaham.

I wanted to know how [after establishing the connection] can I get the tweets in an xml format?

this is what I have so far:
function getConnectionWithAccessToken($oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret) {
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret);
$connection->format = ‘xml’;
return $connection;

}
    $connection = getConnectionWithAccessToken("xyz", "abc");

$connection->get(‘account/verify_credentials’);
How do i GET an xml and use SimpleXML on a url ?

Please help!

episod · 2013-03-12T14:26:18.000Z

The API no longer supports XML as an output format. API v1.1 is JSON-only.

drooopal · 2013-03-13T14:32:10.000Z

But if I use this:
$connection->get(‘statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=xyz&count=10’);

I do see an xml output. Are u saying that this link will no longer be working in future?

abraham · 2013-03-13T18:33:58.000Z

XML will no longer work in the next month or two. You should be doing the following.

$connection->get(‘statuses/user_timeline’, array(‘screen_name’ => ‘xyz’, ‘count’ => 10));

tommyrva · 2013-03-30T20:26:00.000Z

This may be a stupid question, but if I’m

Having people sign in
Being re-directed back to my site with the token in the url

The user is then signed in, and the library can get their access token. So then if I want to fire a static tweet that just says “tweet” from that user’s account where do I put that? Should I make a new file?

I just want to run it through an ajax call so when a button is pressed, it sends a tweet from that user’s account. I have a more sophisticated long-term plan, but i can figure it out from there if I can just get that working.

$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, $access_token[‘oauth_token’], $access_token[‘oauth_token_secret’]);

/* If method is set change API call made. Test is called by default. */
$content = $connection->get(‘account/verify_credentials’);
$connection->post(‘statuses/update’, array(‘status’ => ‘Tweet’));

Iman82GM · 2013-04-29T09:34:53.000Z

Hi,

I’m using this code to show the latest tweets but it just prints out “null”. What’s wrong with this code? I’ve defined the tokens and keys properly (not included the code here)…

require_once(‘twitteroauth.php’);
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, $usertoken, $usersecret);
$tweets = $connection->get(“statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=myname&count=10”);
echo json_encode($tweets);

abraham · 2013-04-29T18:56:37.000Z

@credo61 please use code comments so it is easier to read your code.

You should be formatting it like this.

$tweets = $connection->get(“statuses/user_timeline”, array(“screen_name” => “myname”, “count” => 10));

imsoumyajit · 2013-06-25T17:49:41.000Z

I want to import all the friends list into my application. How can I do that. So far I managed to see many data by calling $content . I also want to post status at my application and it should be posted at twitter and if I also post something on twitter it will be displayed at my application.

Hello @abraham

I’m not able to create favourites.is not working. I’ve update host url to 1.1 but there is some issue.

below is the error :
object(stdClass)#88 (1) {
[“errors”] => array(1) {
[0] => object(stdClass)#98 (2) {
[“message”] => string(31) “Sorry, that page does not exist”
[“code”] => int(34)
}
}

can you please help on that.
Thanks

abraham · 2013-06-27T16:31:00.000Z

What is the API path you are using? It does not exist anymore for v1.1. Make sure the API method you are using is listed in the docs.

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1

mesocialdev1 · 2013-06-28T07:56:49.000Z

Hello @abraham thanks for quick reply. So here below i’ve paste the code of mine.

// this is the function to favorite and unfavorite tweet
public function favoriteTwitterStatus($user_id,$status_id,$account_name,$str_favorite)
{

	$connection= $this->getTwitterConnection($user_id,$account_name);
	//$responce = $connection->post('favorites/create/'.$status_id);        
    try{
		if($str_favorite == 'Favorite')
		{			     
			$responce = $this->postApiData('favorites/create/'.$status_id,'',$connection);               
		}
		else
		{
			$responce = $this->postApiData('favorites/destroy/'.$status_id,'',$connection);				
		}                      
    }
    catch(Exception $e){
        echo $message = $e->getMessage();
        exit;                  
    }
}

// this function will handle all post requests
// To post/update twitter data
public function postApiData($request,$params = array(),$connection)
{
if($params == null)
{
$data = $connection->post($request);
}
else
{
$data = $connection->post($request,$params);
}

    // Need to check the error code for post method      
    if($data->errors['0']->code == '88' || $data->errors['0']->message == 'Rate limit exceeded')
    {
        throw new Exception( 'Sorry for the inconvenience,Please wait for minimum 15 mins. You exceeded the rate limit');
    }
    else
    {
        return $data;
    }                  
}

// below is the host url	
public $host = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/";

have i made any mistake over here ?

Thanks

abraham · 2013-06-28T20:58:41.000Z

Please use code formatting.

Your paths are wrong. Look at the update methods in the documentation: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1#92

mesocialdev1 · 2013-07-01T09:18:37.000Z

Thanks @abraham. Yes problem is resolved. Yes will use code formatting.

Thanks a lot for quick help.

Hi I have been using Abraham Williams’ TwitterOAuth Library for PHP.

It all works perfectly but I’ve notice in the Chrome browser having freshly invoked Chrome there is a problem whereby this line (13) is invoked in callback.php

/* If the oauth_token is old redirect to the connect page. */
if (isset($_REQUEST[‘oauth_token’]) && $_SESSION[‘oauth_token’] !== $_REQUEST[‘oauth_token’]) {
$_SESSION[‘oauth_status’] = ‘oldtoken’;
header(‘Location: ./clearsessions.php’);
}

And therefore the user is returned to the sign in page. If they click Sign in with Twitter a second time, it works.

The same problem doesn’t appear to happen in Firefox 22 or Internet Explorer 10.

If anyone can help it’d be hugely appreciated.

Steve
