I am using twitter_timeline to get the user details.
It provides set of tweets including RTs. I am considering on retweets from all tweets.
Suppose I retweeted any tweet, which I can get using:
$tweets3 = $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?trim_user=true&include_rts=true");
foreach ($tweets3 as $item)
{
$rt_reach = $item->retweet_count; //This is available
$text = $item->text; //This is available
$follower_count = $item->user->followers_count; //This is not available
echo "User location $item->user->location"; //This is not available
echo $follower_count = $item->user->screen_name; //This is not available
}
Link to document: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/user_timeline
Why it does not provide last three value in above code?
Since you're using "trim_user=true", twitter strips the user record except for the user_id.
Please check trim_user parameter here.
The "trim_user" param is used by applications to stop the tweets data from getting bloated and it should be excluded if the app needs the full user record, which seems to be the case for you.

I am working on a Twitter app and I want to find a way to link directly to a retweet.
For example. If user A makes a tweet, and user B retweets it, I want a URL that will take us to user B's profile where the retweet is displayed. What is that unique URL?
I recently needed to get a link to an arbitrary retweet that was too old for the search feature to work.
Here's what I did:
Open the Network Monitor
Visit the timeline of the retweeter
Scroll until you find the retweet
Look at the Network Monitor, open the latest request to the endpoint /UserTweets
Either
go to the "Response" tab and sift through its JSON manually to get the id_str to craft the URL:
or, paste the following into the Console, then right-click on the response, “Copy…Response”, and return to the console to press Enter:
UserTweets = JSON.parse(prompt("Paste the copied Response data:"));
// get the output from that endpoint,
UserTweets
// dig through the packaging,
['data']['user']['result']['timeline_v2']['timeline']['instructions']
// filter out "pinned tweets" metadata,
.filter(cmd => cmd['type'] == "TimelineAddEntries")
// de-batch,
.flatmap(cmd => cmd['entries'])
// filter out "cursor" metadata,
.filter(entry => entry['content']['entryType'] == "TimelineTimelineItem" )
// then dig through a bunch more layers of packaging,
.map(entry => entry['content']['itemContent']['tweet_results']['result'])
// munge the tweets into a more-usable format,
.map(tweet => ({user: tweet['core']['user_results']['legacy'], tweet: tweet['legacy']}))
// filter out non-retweets,
.filter(({tweet}) => tweet['retweeted_status_result'])
// extract just the RT text and URL of the retweet itself,
.map(({user, tweet}) => ({url: `https://twitter.com/${encodeURIComponent(user['screen_name'])}/status/${encodeURIComponent(tweet['id_str'])}`, text: tweet['full_text']}))
// print results.
.forEach(({url, text}) => console.log(url, text))
…et voilà:
https://twitter.com/ThePSF/status/1398372497741946884
Internally, all Retweets are simply special Tweets. This means each Retweet also has an ID (which is stored on id and id_str at the root of the Tweet object). For proof, here's a Retweet from the Twitter Retweets account.
If you're using Tweet Streams (e.g. statuses/filter), you'll be able to pick up this ID from the returned Tweet object of the retweet. From the ID, you can just build a normal Twitter link with https://twitter.com/<username>/status/<retweet id>. Assuming your Retweet object is named retweet, the correct link would be (in JavaScript) `https://twitter.com/${retweet.user.screen_name}/status/${retweet.id_str}`.
If the Retweet is fairly recent, you can do a status search (search/tweets) on the user's profile (i.e. you have to set the q parameter to from:<username>) to find the Retweet. You'll most likely have to cross check the ID of the Tweet you want and the ID of the Retweet you're looking for to be sure, though.
If you're trying to get the Retweet ID of an old Tweet, however, you might have to use Twitter's Premium APIs, which are paid.
JamesTheAwesomeDude's answer worked for me with some light modifications for the new twitter API:
UserTweets = { /*PASTE HERE*/ }
// .timeline changed to .timeline_v2
UserTweets.data.user.result.timeline_v2.timeline.instructions
.filter(cmd => cmd['type'] == "TimelineAddEntries")
.map(cmd => cmd['entries']).flat()
.filter(entry => entry['content']['entryType'] == "TimelineTimelineItem" )
.map(entry => entry['content']['itemContent']['tweet_results']['result'])
// .user changed to .user_results.result
.map(tweet => [tweet['core']['user_results']['result']['legacy'], tweet['legacy']])
.filter(([user, tweet]) => tweet['retweeted_status_result'])
.map(([user, tweet]) => [`https://twitter.com/${user['screen_name']}/status/${tweet['id_str']}`, tweet['full_text']])
.forEach(([url, rt_text]) => console.log(url, rt_text))
i want to show public contents from instagram related to a specific hashtag (everything works fine with that) but i can't to renew the access_token everytime it expires.
("do not assume your access_token is valid forever." -
https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication/)
To renew it manually is not an option i have to make sure there is a valid access_token at ANY time without re-authenticating.
Any ideas or questions? :)
I have one idea, but without API (and access_token). You can make requests to the web-version of Instagram with ?__a=1 parameter. I do not know how long it will work but now there is workflow:
You want to show public content with hashtag space, for example.
Add it to url and add GET-parameter ?__a=1: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/space/?__a=1
Make the GET-request. It returns json with nodes in top_posts (8) and media (18). Each node has owner, caption, number of comments and likes. But the most important part is in thumbnail_src and display_src.
There is page_info in media object which helps to paginate results. You need end_cursor (for example, J0HWE9rjAAAAF0HWE9qvgAAAFiYA)
Add the value from end_cursor to the url: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/space/?__a=1&max_id=J0HWE9rjAAAAF0HWE9qvgAAAFiYA
Repeat 3-6 to get newest posts with specific hashtag.
Update to the ?__a=1 url param. This appears to have stopped working with users '/account/?__a=1' endpoints.:( Still works on tags apparently.
Instagram shut down their public API. Here's a quick and dirty workaround in PHP:
<?php
function getPublicInfo($username) {
$url = sprintf("https://www.instagram.com/$username");
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$content = explode("window._sharedData = ", $content)[1];
$content = explode(";</script>", $content)[0];
$data = json_decode($content, true);
return $data['entry_data']['ProfilePage'][0];
}
Not sure for how long it's gonna work. Here's one for Javascript.
I'm currently working on the imap class by barbushin. It's the only php class over the internet I can find regardless to any encoding issue. Thanks to the coder.
I have a list of messages in a table. Each message sending a message id as GET (say $mid). When a link clicked, the page turned into a view page. It should open that message and display the relevant content right? But it is not. Every message has the same content (the 1st content). The code is designed for gmail but I use it for my client. And it's work.
This is a code:
require_once('../ImapMailbox.php');
define('EMAIL', 'my#domain.com');
define('PASSWORD', '*********');
define('ATTACHMENTS_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/attachments');
$mailbox = new ImapMailbox('{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', EMAIL, PASSWORD, ATTACHMENTS_DIR, 'utf-8');
$mails = array();
// Get some mail
$mailsIds = $mailbox->searchMailBox('ALL');
if(!$mailsIds) {
die('Mailbox is empty');
}
$mailId = reset($mailsIds);
$mail = $mailbox->getMail($mailId);
var_dump($mail);
var_dump($mail->getAttachments());
The original is here: https://github.com/barbushin/php-imap
Finally, I found my way home. According to the script there's a line says "mailId". Which is straight forward what is it about.
It was set to the first array by reset(). So the only thing I need to do is extract the message id from it ($mailId is an array of ids). So I simply add an array behind it.
$mailId=$mailsIds[$_GET[uid]];
While $_GET[uid] is a message id sent from a previous page.
Is it possible to get tweets which contain photos? I am currently using twitter search api and getting all the tweets having entity details by setting include_entities=true. I see picture details under media object but is there anyway to filter and get tweets objects which just have these media items. Or is there anyway in Twitter4j to do this query?
There is no specific way to specify that I need only photos or videos but you can filter the results based on filter:links or filter:images or filter:videos in your query along with include_entities=true.
For Example: To get the tweets that contain links since 2012-01-31, you query should have include_entities parameter as well as filter:links as shown as follows:
https://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Agoogle%20since%3A2012-01-31%20filter%3Alinks&include_entities=true"
As your need is to filter your tweets based on images/photos, I think you should use filter:images.
An example of your case would look like:
https://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Agoogle%20since%3A2012-01-31%20filter%3Aimages&include_entities=true"
Hope this helps.
With Latest twitter API I couldn't get filters work and I couldn't find either any explanation in their docs. Althought you can get all the tweets and then parse only the media ones. You can fire this if inside your parsing script:
if(this.entities.media != null){
//Parse the tweet
}
This is not the best solution but the worst part comes to twitter who's giving you more information and using more of its own resources.
In the lastest twitter API you can do it in the ConfigurationBuilder instance, before creating the Twitter instance:
ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setDebugEnabled(false);
cb.setOAuthConsumerKey(API_KEY);
cb.setOAuthConsumerSecret(API_SECRET);
cb.setOAuthAccessToken(ACCESS_TOKEN);
cb.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(SECRET_KEY);
// enabling include_entities parameters
cb.setIncludeEntitiesEnabled(true);
Twitter twitterInstance = new TwitterFactory(cb.build()).getInstance();
Also, after enabling the entities, in the search string you have to had the condition "filter:images".
List<String> keywords = new ArrayList<String>();
keywords.add("#pet");
keywords.add("cat");
// String.join for Java 8
String twitterSearchString = "((" + String.join(" OR ", keywords) + ")";
// adding the filter condition
twitterSearchString += " AND filter:images)";
Query q = new Query(twitterSearchString);
And you will get just results with images (tested with twitter4j-core 4.0.4).
For filter in twitter API you can check official document for latest version as on date Apr 02 2019

I had used the symfony admin generator to create an web application for athletes management. One of the last client's requirement was to add a feature to notice the user and send an e-mail to the administrators when an athlete with the same number is inserted on the database. Until now, the column number of the Athlete table had a unique constraint but the client desires that the athlete can by inserted anyway.
To accomplish that, I was trying to extend the the edit / new actions in order to implement the client requirements.
Here is the code:
public function executeEdit(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$user = $this->getUser();
if(! $user->hasCredential('admin'))
{
$clube_id = $user->getAttribute('id');
$atleta_id = $request->getParameter('id');
$atleta = Doctrine::getTable('Atleta')->find($atleta_id);
if($clube_id != $atleta->clube_id)
$this->forward404();
}
if($request->get('post'))
{
// check if the inserted athlete BI already exists; if so, display a message to the user and send an email to the system admins
$atleta_id = $request->getParameter('id');
$atletaBIExiste = Doctrine::getTable('Atleta')->findDuplicateAthleteBI($atleta_id);
if($atletaBIExiste)
{
// display a notice message to the user
$this->getUser()->setFlash('error', 'Athlete already exists');
// send an email to the system administrator
}
}
return parent::executeEdit($request);
}
Here is my problem: when I execute the edit action, I only want to check for a duplicate athlete number when the HTTP is POST but it seems that never is. I had already sent some exceptions to the output to verify which type is HTTP Request and it seems it is always GET.
The problem you will be having is that when you hit save on the Edit page the information isn't posted to the edit action, it is posted to an action called update.
Have a look at the actions.class.php file in the cache and you will see it.
