Automatically publish to Twitter from the PHP website

Asked

I’m developing a backoffice in PHP. And every time the administrator adds a product, that product will be automatically published on Twitter.

On Twitter will appear:

  • the name of the product
  • your image
  • and the link to the site

I had to do the same for Facebook, and so far so good. Now I’m trying for Twitter and I’m struggling.

What are the basic steps for using the Twitter API?

    The way I see it, he needs a kickoff. What is a doubt and the answer can be very simple as transcribing some of the https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update which is the tutorial he wants

Using the Restapi of Twitter you must perform a POST action on https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json with the following parameters:

  • status required
    The text of your status update, usually up to 140 characters. Do URL encoding as needed. Encapsulate with a t.co link can affect character count.

    There are some special commands in this field for which we should be aware. For example, preceding a message with "D" or "M" and following it with a screen name can create a direct message to the user, if the relationship allows this.

  • in_reply_to_status_id optional
    The ID of an existing state of which the update is in response to.

    Note :: This parameter will be ignored unless the tweet author references this parameter in the status text. Therefore, you must include @username, where username is the author of your tweet referenced, within the update.

  • lat optional
    The latitude of the site this tweet refers to. This parameter will be ignored unless it is within the range -90.0 to 90.0 (North is positive), inclusive. It will also be ignored if you do not have a parameter long correspondent.

    Sample Values: 37,7821120598956

  • long optional
    The longitude of the location this tweet refers to. The ranges valid for longitude are -180.0 to 180.0 (East is positive), inclusive. This parameter will be ignored if outside of this range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is disabled, or if you do not have a parameter lat correspondent.

    Sample Values: -122,400612831116

  • place_id optional
    A place in the world. These identifications can be recovered from GET geo / reverse_geocode .

    Sample Values: df51dec6f4ee2b2c

  • display_coordinates optional
    Whether or not to place a pin at the exact coordinate from which a tweet was sent.

    Sample Values: true

  • trim_user optional
    When defined as true, t or 1, each tweet returned in the timeline will include a user object including only the numerical ID of the status authors. Omit this parameter to receive the full user object.

    Sample Values: true
