How to get my followers count number with PHP.
I found this answer here: Twitter follower count number, but it is not working because API 1.0 is no longer active.
I have also tried with API 1.1 using this URL: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=google but is is showing an error(Bad Authentication data).
Here is my code:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=google'), true);
echo $data[0]['followers_count'];
If do it without auth (replace 'stackoverflow' with your user)
$.ajax({
url: "https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/widgets/followbutton/info.json?screen_names=stackoverflow"
dataType : 'jsonp',
crossDomain : true
}).done(function(data) {
console.log(data[0]['followers_count']);
});
with php
$tw_username = 'stackoverflow';
$data = file_get_contents('https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/widgets/followbutton/info.json?screen_names='.$tw_username);
$parsed = json_decode($data,true);
$tw_followers = $parsed[0]['followers_count'];
