Combine feeds
-------------

[](#combine-feeds)

*mixedfeed* can combine multiple social feeds so you can loop over them and use some common data fields such as `feedItemPlatform`, `normalizedDate` and `canonicalMessage`. *mixedfeed* will sort all your feed items by *descending* `normalizedDate`, but you can configure it to sort *ascending*:

```
new MixedFeed([…], MixedFeed::ASC);
```

Each feed provider must inject these three parameters in feed items:

- `feedItemPlatform`: This is your social network name as a *string* i.e. «twitter». It will be important to cache your feed and for your HTML template engine to render properly each feed item.

For example, if you are using *Twig*, you will be able to include a sub-template for each social-platform.

```
{% for socialItem in mixedFeedItems %}
{% include ‘social-blocks/‘ ~ socialItem.feedItemPlatform ~ ‘.html.twig’ %}
{% endfor %}
```

- `normalizedDate`: This is a critical parameter as it allows *mixedfeed* to sort *reverse chronologically* multiple feeds with heterogeneous structures.
- `canonicalMessage`: This is a useful field which contains the **text content** for each item over **all** platforms. You can use this to display items texts within a simple loop.

Use *FeedItem* instead of raw feed
----------------------------------

[](#use-feeditem-instead-of-raw-feed)

If you need to serialize your MixedFeed to JSON or XML again, you should not want all the raw data contained in each social feed item. So you can use the `$feed->getAsyncCanonicalItems(12);` method instead of `getItems` to get a more concise object with essential data: `RZ\MixedFeed\Canonical\FeedItem`. *FeedItem* will provide these fields:

- id `string`
- platform `string`
- author `string`
- link `string`
- title `string`
- message `string`
- likeCount `int|null`
- shareCount `int|null`: Share, comments or retweet count depending on platform.
- images `Image[]`
    - url `string`
    - width `integer`
    - height `integer`
- dateTime `DateTime`
- tags `array` (only used with `MediumFeed`)
- raw `stdClass` to access raw API object if canonical item fields are not enough

When FeedItem has images, `FeedItem::$images` will hold an array of `RZ\MixedFeed\Canonical\Image` objects to have better access to its `url`, `width` and `height` if they're available.

Each feed provider must implement how to *hydrate* a `FeedItem` from the raw feed overriding `createFeedItemFromObject()`method.

Feed providers
--------------

[](#feed-providers)

Feed provider classDescription`feedItemPlatform`MediumFeedCall over `https://medium.com/username/latest` endpoint. It only needs a `$username` and an optional `$userId` for better consistency over requests (Medium seems to apply cache on their username requests even after changing a query parameter, i.e. post limit). *Medium* allows maximum 14 posts per requests.`medium`InstagramOEmbedFeedCall over `https://api.instagram.com/oembed/` endpoint. It only needs a `$embedUrls` array`instagram_oembed`GraphInstagramFeedCall over `graph.instagram.com/$userId/media` endpoint with [Basic Display API](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api). It needs a `$userId` and an `$accessToken`. **Warning**: Access token must be refreshed every 60 days, use `RefreshInstagramAccessToken``instagram`InstagramFeed*Deprecated*: Call over `/v1/users/$userId/media/recent/` endpoint. It needs a `$userId` and an `$accessToken``instagram`TwitterFeedCall over `statuses/user_timeline` endpoint. It requires a `$userId`, a `$consumerKey`, a `$consumerSecret`, an `$accessToken` and an `$accessTokenSecret`. Be careful, this [endpoint](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/user_timeline) can **only return up to 3,200 of a user’s most recent Tweets**, your item count could be lesser than expected. In the same way, Twitter removes retweets after retrieving the items count.`twitter`TwitterSearchFeedCall over `search/tweets` endpoint. It requires a `$queryParams` array, a `$consumerKey`, a `$consumerSecret`, an `$accessToken` and an `$accessTokenSecret`. Be careful, Twitter API **won’t retrieve tweets older than 7 days**, your item count could be lesser than expected. `$queryParams` must be a *key-valued* array with *query operators* according to [Twitter API documentation](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/search).`twitter`FacebookPageFeedCall over `https://graph.facebook.com/v3.3/$pageId/posts` endpoint by default. Endpoint can be changed using `$apiBaseUrl` parameter. It requires a `$pageId` and an `$accessToken`. This feed provider only works for public Facebook **pages**. To get an access-token visit: . By default, `picture`, `message`, `story`, `created_time`, `status_type` fields are queried, you can add your own by passing `$field` array as last parameter. You can add `since` and `until` query parameters using `setSince(\Datetime)` and `setUntil(\Datetime)` methods. You can overwrite the default`facebook_page`PinterestBoardFeedCall over `/v1/boards/$boardId/pins/` endpoint. It requires a `$boardId` and an `$accessToken`. To get an access-token visit: [https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/access\_token/](https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/access_token/)`pinterest_board`GithubReleasesFeedCall over `api.github.com/repos/:user/:repo/releases` endpoint. It requires a `$repository` (*user/repository*) and an `$accessToken`. You can add a last `$page` parameter. To get an access-token visit: `github_release`GithubCommitsFeedCall over `api.github.com/repos/:user/:repo/commits` endpoint. It requires a `$repository` (*user/repository*) and an `$accessToken`. You can add a last `$page` parameter. To get an access-token visit: `github_commit`YoutubeMostPopularFeedCall over `googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos` endpoint with `mostPopular` chart (It’s more kind of an example feed). It requires a `$apiKey` with a valid *Google Cloud Console* account (with not null quota) and *Youtube Data API* enabled.`youtube_playlist_items`YoutubePlaylistItemFeedCall over `googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems` endpoint. It requires a `$apiKey` with a valid *Google Cloud Console* account (with not null quota) and *Youtube Data API* enabled.`youtube_playlist_items`Modify cache TTL
----------------

[](#modify-cache-ttl)

Each feed-provider which inherits from `AbstractFeedProvider` has access to `setTtl()` method in order to modify the default cache time. By default it is set for `7200` seconds, so you can adjust it to invalidate doctrine cache more or less often.

Create your own feed provider
-----------------------------

[](#create-your-own-feed-provider)

There are plenty of APIs on the internet, and this tool won’t be able to handle them all. But this is not a problem, you can easily create your own feed provider in *mixedfeed*. You just have to create a new *class* that will inherit from `RZ\MixedFeed\AbstractFeedProvider`. Then you will have to implement some methods from `FeedProviderInterface`:

- `getRequests($count = 5): \Generator` method which return a *Guzzle* `Request` generator to be transformed to a response. This is the best option as it will enable **async request pooling**.
- `supportsRequestPool(): bool` method should return if your provider can be pooled to enhance performances. If you are using a third party library to fetch your data (such as some platform SDK), you should set it to `false`.
- `createFeedItemFromObject($item)` method which transform a raw feed object into a canonical `RZ\MixedFeed\Canonical\FeedItem` and `RZ\MixedFeed\Canonical\Image`
- `getDateTime` method to look for the critical datetime field in your feed.
- `getFeed` method to consume your API endpoint with a count limit and take care of caching your responses. This method **must convert your own feed items into `\stdClass` objects, not arrays.**
- `getCanonicalMessage` method to look for the important text content in your feed items.
- `getFeedPlatform` method to get a global text identifier for your feed items.
- then a *constructor* that will be handy to use directly in the MixedFeed initialization.

Feel free to check our existing Feed providers to see how they work. And we strongly advise you to implement a caching system not to call your API endpoints at each request. By default, we use *Doctrine*’s caching system which has many storage options.

### Create a feed provider from a *Doctrine* repository

[](#create-a-feed-provider-from-a-doctrine-repository)

If you need to merge social network feeds with your own website articles, you can create a custom FeedProvider which wraps your Doctrine objects into `\stdClass` items. You’ll need to implement your `getFeed` method using an EntityManager:

```
protected $entityManager;

public function __construct(\Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface $entityManager)
{
    $this->entityManager = $entityManager;
}

protected function getFeed($count = 5)
{
    return array_map(
        function (Article $article) {
            $object = new \stdClass();
            $object->native = $article;
            return $object;
        },
        $this->entityManager->getRepository(Article::class)->findBy(
            [],
            ['datetime' => 'DESC'],
            $count
        )
    );
}

protected function createFeedItemFromObject($item)
{
    $feedItem = new RZ\MixedFeed\Canonical\FeedItem();
    $feedItem->setDateTime($this->getDateTime($item));
    $feedItem->setMessage($this->getCanonicalMessage($item));
    $feedItem->setPlatform($this->getFeedPlatform());

    for ($item->images as $image) {
        $feedItemImage = new RZ\MixedFeed\Canonical\Image();
        $feedItemImage->setUrl($image->url);
        $feedItem->addImage($feedItemImage);
    }

    return $feedItem;
}
```

Then you can define your *date-time* and *canonical message* methods to look into this object:

```
/**
 * @inheritDoc
 */
public function getDateTime($item)
{
    if ($item->native instanceof Article) {
        return $item->native->getDatetime();
    }

    return null;
}

/**
 * @inheritDoc
 */
public function getCanonicalMessage(stdClass $item)
{
    if ($item->native instanceof Article) {
        return $item->native->getExcerpt();
    }

    return null;
}
```
