A (yet) simple wrapper around the twitter streaming api

What's tweetstream?

Tweetstream is a (yet) simple wrapper around Twitters streaming api for php.

Features

• Track all tweets for given keywords (sample usage below). This is useful since Twitter does not make tweets available forever.

Usage

This will track all tweets containing either "twitter" or "foobar" and save it to log.txt. You can easily modify the callback to save all tweets to a database or similar.

$streamer = new TweetStream();
$streamer->setCredentials('alexnyquist', 'password');
$streamer->setCallback(function($message) {
	$message = sprintf('%s says: %s', $message->user->screen_name, $message->text);
	file_put_contents('log.txt', $message . PHP_EOL, FILE_APPEND); // Write tweets to file
});
$streamer->track('twitter', 'foobar');

Do you want to track everything said by/to a specific user? Just provide "@username" as a keyword.
