# Twitter Class




Twitter API library which retreives a limited amount of tweets,

answers and retweets from a given user twitter account.

The data retreived is stored in **wp_options** as a serializez

string data.

Data is updated every **5 minutes** but the time the data is updated

can be changed. It is not recommended to set update data to 0 because

Twitter has restrictions about API abusive call rates.

This is a static class therefore does not have to be instantiated.

User Twitter APP data can be set in Admin menu -> Appaerance -> Theme settings.

## How to use




- In extras.php add the following line of code :

  ```php

  

  ```

- Log in into your project's **admin panel**. Then open **Appareance -> Theme settings** in the lef menu.

- Open the **Twitter API** tab. Fill the form with the client Twitter APP data. In

  order to **get all the tokens** and consumer key you need to make the class work

  you will need to create a Twitter APP using the client Twitter account.

- You can also set the **Number of Tweets** you want to retrieve and how ofter the

  **cache is cleared**. Twitter API has a limit in the number of request you can perform

  per day.

- Default number of Tweets retrieved per request is **5**.

- Save the form.

- Call static method **return_html** to get an ul HTML element which

  contains all the Twitter data. This method accpets parameters. Check

  usage_example.php for further information.

  ```php

  
Tweet 1
Tweet 2

    $twitter_data = Twitter::return_html();

    echo $twitter_data;

  ?>

  ```


- Call static method **check_twitter_data()** to retrieve an object

  which contains the twitter data.

  ```php

  

  ```

- Modify the attribute **$minutes_after_call** in method **check_retrieve_form_api()**

  to change the time passed since last API call.

- Modify the attribute **$request** key *count* in method **return_tweet** to change

  the number of tweets retreived
