Twitter: micro blogging site

Posted by: Md. Masud on: May 10, 2008

Twitter is one of the micro blogging site in the world. Actually people used Twitter answering a question “what are you doing?”. Twitter has done some great thing like included jaber interface to post directly from google talk or other IM who support jaber API. Twiter also provide a small API, by which you can post your msg from other site.

The API is looks like this which is collected from google code. Here is a simple view

function postToTwitter($username,$password,$message)
{

    $host = "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?source=SITE_NAME&
             status=".urlencode(stripslashes(urldecode($message)));

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $host);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    // Look at the returned header
    $resultArray = curl_getinfo($ch);

    curl_close($ch);

    if($resultArray['http_code'] == "200"){
         $twitter_status='Your message has been sent! 
         <a href="http://twitter.com/'.$username.'">See your profile</a>';
    } else {
         $twitter_status="Error posting to Twitter. Retry";
    }
    return $twitter_status;
}
.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }you just need a twitter account name & password and simply passed it to the function parameter and you will see the action in twitter. You can send the source name from where you send the message.

I have recently add this features to one of my application development and hereby i share this knowledge with all of you. good luck :)

NB: To see the code working you should activate the curl library from php.ini

Reference: twitter api is used from http://code.google.com

Searching video Using YouTube API

Posted by: Md. Masud on: November 22, 2007

In my recent project I have to do something like that:

  • Enter a TAG, inside a text box
  • Search in Flickr using the tag.
  • Show the search result inside my page.
  • Search in YouTube using the same tag.
  • Show the search result inside my page.
  • Play the video in my page without redirecting to the YouTube original site.

To do the following job I use Flickr API & YouTube API which helps me most. It’s become very much easy, which was too much difficult for me.

For YouTube there are lots of API available, but I found following API very much effective. You can download the API from the following link:

You just have to do the following thing:

<?php

mysql_connect( ‘localhost’, ‘root’, ” ) or die( mysql_error() );
mysql_select_db( ‘wordpress’) or die( mysql_error() );

$sql_query = “select ID, post_date, post_title, post_content from wp_posts ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0,5″;

$result     = mysql_query( $sql_query );
