[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/51a98e01c8edc8d5d83efd9ee4eef1f35651e276c9136fe8886676b7795f0ff5/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f7769646f702f747769747465722d726573742e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/widop/twitter-rest)

The Wid'op Twitter REST library is a modern PHP 5.3+ API allowing you to easily interact with Twitter 1.1. In order to sign your request with the OAuth protocol, the library internally uses the [`widop/twitter-oauth`](https://github.com/widop/twitter-oauth).

```
use Widop\HttpAdapter\CurlHttpAdapter;
use Widop\Twitter\OAuth;
use Widop\Twitter\Rest\Statuses\StatusesUpdateRequest;
use Widop\Twitter\Rest\Twitter;

// First, instantiate your OAuth client.
$oauth = new OAuth\OAuth(
    new CurlHttpAdapter(),
    new OAuth\OAuthConsumer('consumer_key', 'consumer_secret'),
    new OAuth\Signature\OAuthHmacSha1Signature()
);

// Second, instantiate your OAuth access token.
$token = new OAuth\OAuthToken('oauth_key', 'oauth_secret');

// Third, instantiate your Twitter client.
$twitter = new Twitter($oauth, $token);

// Then, send a request to the Twitter API!
$request = new StatusesUpdateRequest('Yeah, I\'m currently updating my status!')
$tweet = $twitter->send($request)->getData();
```
