Twitter API 1.1

[ReallySmall]

Hi - nice plugin!

Apologies if I've missed a notification of this, but are there plans to update to work with Twitter's 1.1 API? As of today OAuth seems to be required so I'm not getting any results.

[Danzig9]

Same here. I've seen no update to this or the Google+ problem. Is this just going to be dropped or will there be updates to these issues? Thanx

[ReallySmall]

This is the most straightforward run-through I've come across so far of what's required for basic read-only access to twitter feeds:http://www.webdevdoor.com/php/authenticating-twitter-feed-timeline-oauth/

Possible but requires a server-side element to keep api keys private.

The server side auth issue is now a BIG problem with the deprecation of the Twitter v1 API. I'm investigating other ways is could be handled via client side Javascript. Perhaps there is a proxy or tool like Apigee that could be used. In the meantime, Twitter is not going to work.

Actually it seems the whole app is not working now... not just the twitter part... and I don't even have any twitter IDs in the script...

EDIT: Scratch that... I think my version of jQuery just wasn't working. Changed it and it's working fine now. (Well... did that and got rid of the twitter feeds.)

I'm trying to implement this:

$.getJSON('twit.php',

    function(feeds) {

        //alert(feeds);

        var feedHTML = '';

        var displayCounter = 1;

        for (var i=0; i<feeds.length; i++) {

            var tweetscreenname = feeds[i].user.name;

            var tweetusername = feeds[i].user.screen_name;

            var profileimage = feeds[i].user.profile_image_url_https;

            var status = feeds[i].text;

            var isaretweet = false;

            var isdirect = false;

            var tweetid = feeds[i].id_str;

Where it would just call up a php file that does an application-only Oauth. Then you just put all your info in a php (or in a database that would be loaded by a php) and then you can do the exact same searches. Thoughts?

@TeamRainless This information may help with your idea. http://www.webdevdoor.com/php/authenticating-twitter-feed-timeline-oauth/ < I don't currently have time to check it out. Let us know if it helps.

That's actually exactly what I posted. :)

Multitasking here... :)

[jackoliver]

+1 on this. Halp.

[jrdn91]

Yeah I'm getting a 401 (gone) error with the twitter feed now

[TeamRainless]

You're lucky to get that. :)

I'll start working on it again after I finish the website I'm working on.

Using https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php I've now got a populated page of json formatted tweets on a php page. I'm just not exactly sure how to tweak the socialist plugin to work with this?

For the Twitter call I've got:

twitter:{url:'twitterfeed.php?include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name=|id|&count=|num|',dataType:"jsonp",img:'',parser:{ name: "twitter", resultsSelector: "data", heading: "Twitter", headingSelector: "item.user.screen_name", txtSelector: "item.text", dateSelector: "helpers.timeAgo(helpers.fixTwitterDate(item.created_at))", imgSrcSelector: "(item.user.profile_image_url)||'/assets/spacer.gif'", imgSrcProcessor: null, imgHrefSelector: "((item.entities.urls[0]||{urls:''}).url)||'http://www.twitter.com/'+item.user.screen_name", imgAltSelector: "item.user.screen_name", link: "#", preProcessor: null, preCondition: "true"} },

I suspect just substituting the twitter json file link for my php file is oversimplifying it...is there anything I need to change about the way this is parsed to get results back?

[ReallySmall]

Ah, just needed to use json instead of jsonp as dataType.

[jrdn91]

Any fixes for this yet? I'm still getting errors with the twitter api on my end

[KDCinfo]

Just downloaded this. Looks extremely promising, however, getting the following error when using a Twitter ID:

{"errors": [{"message": "The Twitter REST API v1 is no longer active. Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.", "code": 68}]}

[ReallySmall]

The plugin as it is won't work with Twitter any more - with the switch-over to API 1.1, authorisation is required using a registered twitter app to get data back. If you have access to create a php page, you can get your tweets using this: https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php and then modify this script to point to your new php page to retrieve them.

@ReallySmall It sounds like you found a solution to the Twitter API issue. I think that there may be similar OAuth issues with some other APIs (I've seen people mention Google+) but I am assuming that a similar fix is perfectly do-able, given time. Since this project hasn't been touched since the Twitter API 1.1 Update how about a fork with fixes, starting with your Twitter fix?
