Question

require("twitteroauth/twitteroauth.php");  
session_start();
//Site Account
$siteauth = new TwitterOAuth('{Consumer key}', '{Consumer secret}', '{Access token}', '{Access token secret}');
$access_token = $siteauth->getAccessToken($_GET['oauth_verifier']);
$_SESSION['access_token'] = $access_token;
$site_info = $siteauth->get('account/verify_credentials');

var_dump($site_info);

I’m trying to create a $twitteroauth object in order to use the next code:

$follows_faelazo = $siteauth->get('friendships/exists', 'MY-VISTOTR-ACCOUNT', 'user_b' => 'MY-SITE_ACCOUNT'));
if(!$follows_faelazo){
    echo 'You are NOT following @faelazo!';
    $siteauth->post('friendships/create', array('screen_name' => 'MY-VISTOR'));
}

What I’m trying to do is to follow users who log in to my site using twitter, any idea what’s wrong? I’m kind of new with the twitter API.

Answer 1

please go to twitter dev – > My app – > Your App -> settings -> Application type set to Read, Write and Access direct messages.

First you are checking if you have already followed the person. to do this 2 parameters are required ,.

 // uname
 1.) USER_FOLLOWING
 2.) USER_FOLLOWED

Now the 2nd call will be to follow method so you could follow, for this 1 param is req.

//this can be uid/uname
1.) USER_T0_BE_FOLLOWED

For above mentioned please make sure you are calling methods with appropriate param.

e.g.) in the first you need to pass 4 param, client_id, client_secret , outhid, outhsecret

initially before this user needs to authenticate the app.

everything else lloks fine hope you passing proper param thats just one concern.
