For a project, I wan’t to build a webapp, which shows (semi-) real time Tweets with specific keywords.
I’m not sure how to start. Can somebody explain to me how I need to start. I have a PHP framework for my website.
- With what language do I need to retrieve data form the Twitter API. JSON? PHP?
- Where can I find a nice tutorial?
I hope somebody can provide me a few lines of code, just to help me on the right track.
Thanks!

You could use the Streaming API with the Phirehose library (PHP).
The method “filter” of this API catch all the tweets with the specified keywords in real-time. You can take a look at 140dev for an example of application using this library.
