TweetPHP was created to easily query the Twitter servers and get a person's most recent tweets and then rendering them on the page as a simple HTML list.
The class comes with lots of options that developers can play with, allowing them to filter the tweets, fetch just replies or mentions, and control how many tweets to get, optionally caching them locally.
While there are many similar classes like TwitterPHP, the built-in caching system is what differentiates this library from the most, allowing developers to avoid breaking Twitter's API request limit and have their Twitter widget break down on your site during traffic surges.
If something goes wrong nevertheless, there's a fallback mechanism to avoid embarrassing situations where the widget appears to be blank.
Other configurable parameters will also allow developers to customize the tweets' dates, the widget's language, and even customize the widget's outputted HTML code.
The TwitterPHP class also comes with a debug mode included and the ability to retrieve tweets from any public account, not just the one associated with the provided API key.
Requirements:
- Twitter API credentials
