This package hides away the complexity of "talking" to the Twitter API, but instead offers a few simple functions to execute some basic queries.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- All queries require an **API key** and **API secret** to generate App Credentials
- Authorization will be triggered automatically behind the scenes
- Fetch a user's tweets with a single method call
- Search Twitter for a hash tag or keyword
- Get the results in standard JSON format, or use our simplified `Tweet` objects
- Optional Caching (only [Laravel](http://www.laravel.com/ "Laravel") implementation included, see [codezero-be/courier](https://github.com/codezero-be/courier))
- Optional [Laravel](http://www.laravel.com/ "Laravel") ServiceProvider included
