twitterbridge-noapi

Yet another Twitter "bridge" to enjoy timelines and searches without API key

NOTICE:

Sebsauvage and other devs including me have started a project to provide "feed bridges" for various websites with poor or no RSS/ATOM feed: rss-bridge. The Twitter module is based on twitterbridge-noapi, and includes new stuff. Check it out ! 😄

twitterbridge-noapi is therefor DEPRECATED unless you need standalone code to build on or learn all the shit you must do when working on Twitter.

===================

License

Public Domain. Screw you, Twitter.

Requirements

• PHP 5.4 (normally 5.3 too, but untested)
• PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser named "simple_html_dom.php"

Usage

2 operating modes: timeline "u" and search "q". Request is urlencoded. Output either JSON, ATOM feed or plaintext.

##Examples:##

• @Mitsukarenai's timeline, in plaintext:http://my.website.com/folder/?u=text_mitsukarenai
• (same): http://my.website.com/folder/?u=zkfa_mitsukarenai
• @Mitsukarenai's timeline, in JSON:http://my.website.com/folder/?u=json_mitsukarenai
• @Mitsukarenai's timeline, in ATOM:http://my.website.com/folder/?u=atom_mitsukarenai
• search keyword "pizza", in ATOM:http://my.website.com/folder/?q=atom_pizza
• search hashtag "#PRISM", in JSON:http://my.website.com/folder/?q=json_%23PRISM
• search words "Hello" & "World" in plaintext:http://my.website.com/folder/?q=text_hello+world
• search string "Hello World", in plaintext:http://my.website.com/folder/?q=text_%22hello+world%22

Summary: the first 4 characters of the request tell the output format (json or atom, else plaintext). The fifth character is a separator (like "_", can be anything), the following characters are either the username (?u=) or the search keyword(s) (?q=).
