# Twitter Tweet Scraper API using PHP

A php curl based twitter tweets scraper API developed by Tufayel Ahmed

# Purpose

This API was built for those who wants to collect tweets programmatically from profiles or those who wants to delete their twitter account but wants to backup their tweets.

# Some Helpful Information

* There are 20 tweets returned per each request made.

* Twitter has rate limiting feature, so don't plan to go mad.

* I am not hosting this API just to play safe.

* To bypass rate limit, implement rotating proxies if you plan to use it in production level.

# Documentation

## GET /tweets.php

### Parameter:


username - twitter username of target account (required)


nextPageCursor - token for accessing next tweets/pagination (not required for initial API call, required for accessing next pages)


### Example:

### Sample Response:

  "tweets":["tweet body here", "another tweet body here"],

* For accessing next pages and so on(set nextPageCursor value received in previous request):
