Zend_Service_Twitter provides a client for the Twitter REST API.
Zend_Service_Twitter will allow you to query the public timeline and if you provide a username
and password for Twitter it will allow you to get and update your status, reply to friends,
direct message friends, mark tweets as favorite and much more.
Zend_Service_Twitter is implementing a REST service and all methods return an instance of
Zend_Rest_Client_Result.
Zend_Service_Twitter is broken up into subsections so you can easily identify which type of call
is being requested.
account, make sure that your account credentials are valid, check your api rate limit
and end the current session for the authenticated user.
status, retrieves the public and user timelines and allows you to show, update, destroy
and retrieve replies for the authenticated user.
user, retrieves the friends, followers for the authenticated user. With the
show method you can return extended information about the passed in user.
directMessage, retrieves the authenticated users received direct message and allows you to send and
delete new direct message.
friendship, create or remove a friendship for the authenticated user.
favorite, list, create or remove a favorite tweet.
With the exception of fetching the public timeline Zend_Service_Twitter requires
authentication to work. Twitter currently uses HTTP Basic Authentication.
You can pass in your username or registered email along with your password for twitter to login.

Zend_Service_Twitter_Search provides a client for the Twitter Search API.
The Twitter Search service is use to search Twitter. Currently it only
returns data in Atom or JSON format but a full REST service is in the future
which will support XML responses.
Returns the top ten queries that are currently trending on Twitter. The response includes the time of the request, the name of each trending topic, and the url to the Twitter Search results page for that topic. Currently the search API for trends only supports a JSON return so the function returns an array.
$twitter_search = new Zend_Service_Twitter_Search();
$twitter_trends = $twitter_search->trends();
foreach($twitter_trends as $trend) {
print $trend['name'] . ' - ' . $trend['url'] . PHP_EOL
}
The return array has two values in it:
name, the name of trend.
url, the url to see the tweets
for that trend.
Using the search method returns tweets that match a specific query. There are a number of Search Operators that you can use to query with.
The search method can accept six different optional URL parameters passed in as an array:
lang, restricts the tweets to a given language, lang must
be given by an ISO 639-1 code.
rpp, the number of tweets to return per page,
up to a max of 100.
page, the page number to return, up to a max of
roughly 1500 results (based on rpp * page)
since_id, returns tweets with status ids
greater than the given id.
show_user, when "true", adds ">user<:"
to the beginning of the tweet. This is useful for readers
that do not display Atom's author field. The default is "false"
geocode, returns tweets by users located within a given radius of the given
latitude/longitude, where the user's location is taken from their Twitter profile. The
parameter value is specified by "latitude,longitude,radius", where radius units must
be specified as either "mi" (miles) or "km" (kilometers).
例 47.126. JSON Search Example
The following code sample will return an array with the values search results
$twitter_search = new Zend_Service_Twitter_Search('json');
$search_results = $twitter_search->search('zend', array('lang' => 'en'));
例 47.127. ATOM Search Example
The following code sample will return a Zend_Feed_Atom object.
$twitter_search = new Zend_Service_Twitter_Search('atom');
$search_results = $twitter_search->search('zend', array('lang' => 'en'));
While the Twitter Search API only specifies two methods,
Zend_Service_Twitter_Search has additional accessors
that may be used for modifying internal properties.
getResponseType() and setResponseType()
allow you to retrieve and modify the response type of the search
between JSON and ATOM.
