I am retrieving tweets from multiple accounts (around 20) and displaying them on a page. The request are very slow and my page takes one to two minutes to load. I am using the twitteroauth library (PHP).
Here’s the function
//twitter credentials and connection
$consumer_key = variable_get('tw_consumer_key', 'XXXXX); //consumer key
$consumer_secret = variable_get('tw_consumer_secret', 'XXXXXX'); // consumer secret
$oauth_token = variable_get('tw_access_token', 'xxxxxxx'); //oAuth Token
$oauth_token_secret = variable_get('tw_access_token_secret', 'xxxxxxxxx'); //oAuth Token Secret
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret);
$connection->host = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/";
//Retrieve feeds now
foreach ($twitter_accounts as $account_twitter) {
if (!empty($account_twitter['lien'])) {
$page_url = $account_twitter['lien'];
$twitter_name = $account_twitter['compte'];
$query = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=' . $twitter_name . '&exclude_replies=true&include_rts=true&include_entities=true';
$content = $connection->get($query);
if (sizeof($content) > 0 && empty($content->errors)) {
$tw_tweets['posts'] = $content;
$tw_tweets['url'] = $page_url;
$twitter_feeds[] = $tw_tweets;
}//end if sizeof
else {
if (!empty($content->errors)) {
$error = '';
$error = (isset($content->errors[0]->message)) ? $content->errors[0]->message : '';
$error .= (isset($content->errors[0]->code)) ? ' code' . $content->errors[0]->code : '';
watchdog("custom'', 'Twitter Account ' . $account_twitter['compte'] . ' failed to return results :' . $error);
}
}
}
}
Is the API slow ?
Anyone knows if the problem is with twitter ?
