I am using the Twitter Search API 1.1 to search followers_count
I have managed to get the Oauth working with the help of James Mallison at http://github.com/j7mbo/twitter-api-php.
Here my code :
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => "xxx",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "yyy",
'consumer_key' => "zzz",
'consumer_secret' => "vvv"
);
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json';
$getfield = '?screen_name=twitterapi';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
echo $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest();
$response = json_decode($twitter, true);
$ed = $response->followers_count;
Here the answer :

I don't kwnow why i can't use json_decode
Any feedback or ideas on how to reach followers_count correctly would be much appreciated.
Cheers
