I'm trying to get a json/xml callback of all tweets for user 'zapallpeople' or containing hashtag '#zapallpeople'. I've tried the search api but it will only return tweets from the last 6 days. http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:zapallpeople%20OR%20%23zapallpeople
Then I've tried doing this with the Streaming API's tracking method using the Phirehose PHP library but this doesn't work on our webserver for some reason. (I get a PHP timeout error)
<?php
require_once('../lib/Phirehose.php');
/**
* Example of using Phirehose to display a live filtered stream using track words
*/
class FilterTrackConsumer extends Phirehose
{
/**
* Enqueue each status
*
* @param string $status
*/
public function enqueueStatus($status)
{
/*
* In this simple example, we will just display to STDOUT rather than enqueue.
* NOTE: You should NOT be processing tweets at this point in a real application, instead they should be being
* enqueued and processed asyncronously from the collection process.
*/
$data = json_decode($status, true);
if (is_array($data) && isset($data['user']['screen_name'])) {
print $data['user']['screen_name'] . ': ' . urldecode($data['text']) . "
";
}
}
}
// Start streaming
$sc = new FilterTrackConsumer('username', 'password', Phirehose::METHOD_FILTER);
$sc->setTrack(array('zapallpeople'));
$sc->consume();
Are there any other methods to do this?
