Twitter API v 1.1 code in PHP

Question

I am using twitter API v1.1 to get tweets in my web application the code for getting tweets is as $name = 'zkalvi'; $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json/".$name; $tweets = json_decode(file_get_contents($url)); echo '<ul>'; foreach($tweets as $tweet) { echo '<li>'.$tweet->text.'</li>';
} echo '</ul>'; and $name = 'zkalvi'; $url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json/".$name; $tweets = simplexml_load_file($url); echo '<ul>'; foreach($tweets as $tweet) { echo '<li>'.$tweet->text.'</li>'; } echo '</ul>'; both of these codes are not showing the tweets. Please help me why the tweets are not showing and how could I show the tweets? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

first of all, the way you are calling is wrong, your url should be like this https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=zkalvi.

By this url you will get following output

{"errors":[{"message":"Bad Authentication data","code":215}]}

This is because , in twitter 1.1 version, most of thing needs authentication. So better you use twitter server side library for getting results.

Here is link for twitteroauth library for php twitteroauth
