Get Twitter’s Tweet as RSS with Example

Get your Twitter™s Tweet as RSS with with example of my own Twitter Account. This will support the new Twitter API and will generate RSS Feed. Actually we described the thing before here – Get your Twitter™s Tweet as RSS and JSON with New Twitter API. And here is a working example of my Twitter Account as RSS Feed (you’ll need a RSS Reader). It is working because this is an application.

 

Get Twitter™s Tweet as RSS : Fundamentals

 
Please read the previous guide carefully for creating an Twitter Application part. But do not use that old PHP code, this is newer method !

All tools like RESTful API Testing Tool will be used as usually. The code part is upgraded from my side (in other words).

The basic problem was, Twitter with API upgrade removed the support for RSS. Otherwise we used Twitter RSS by simply by using this URL convention: https://api.twitter.com/1/screen_name/lists/list_name/statuses.rss format. Twitter has not removed the support for JSON as output. But RSS readers are not compatible with JSON feeds. So in other words – this is full fledged application with lot of other features – its simply a web App.

Minimum Needs :

1. PHP 5.3+
2. Probably SSL URL is better
3. White listed IP is safer, if you fetch too much; Twitter will ban the App

 

Source Code :

We will push it to GitHub after adding a Web Interface (so that no RSS reader will be required). Fundamentally, I have used the source code of :

https://github.com/thomasyung/twitter-json-to-rss

Obviously with some modification for caching and a database, there is some difference with his application – but if you follow his way of generating Feed, it will work. We will give update of new web application as a new post after we push it to GitHub. That is basically a nice set of PHP script.
