README
======

[](#readme)

Twitter Consumer
----------------

[](#twitter-consumer)

As of the 1.1 version of the Twitter REST API, all requests require OAuth.

On 11-Mar-2013, Twitter released Application-only authentication to allow requests on behalf of an APPLICATION, as opposed to on behalf of a specific USER.

This library implements the new authentication for public resources like user timelines.

See  for more info.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This library is installable via composer.

```
"require": {
    "joshmoody/twitter-consumer": "dev-master"
},

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// Get new instance of the twitter consumer.
$consumer = new joshmoody\Twitter\Consumer('your-consumer-key', 'your-consumer-secret);

// Fetch a joshmoody\Twitter\Response object
$response = $consumer->request('statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=joshmoody');

// Get the result as a stdclass object
$timeline = $timeline->result();

// ...or as RSS
$rss = $timeline->rss(array('feed_title'=>'Tweets from @username', 'feed_url' => 'http://yourdomain.com/path/to/rss/feed', 'feed_description'=>'My Tweets'));

// ...or as JSON encoded
$json = $timeline->json();

```
