Trying to use Abraham's twitteroauth library to make search query, returns list of numbers in scientific notation?

[Chris Sobolewski]

I am attempting to use the twitteroauth library to make a query, and I
am getting some odd responses back.

My code:
$twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET);
$q=urlencode("#twitter");
$query = $twitteroauth->get("search.json?q={$q}&rpp=100");
echo "<pre>";
$qq = $query;
print_r($qq);
echo "</pre>";

First odd result is, when I try doing a JSON decode, I get an error
that it is not JSON which is what I expected to get back.

Second odd result is when I print_r, this is what I recieve back:

stdClass Object
(
[created_in] => 0.11146
[statuses] => Array
(
[0] => 4.2285483207823E+16
[1] => 4.2285478212403E+16
[2] => 4.2285477021237E+16
[3] => 4.228546655225E+16
[4] => 4.2285444607648E+16
[5] => 4.2285433509528E+16
[6] => 4.2285433383559E+16
.... so on all the way down to 100
)
)

The Search API does not support authentication and so TwitterOAuth does not currently support it. TwitterOAuth uses https://api.twitter.com/1/ as the API URL when the Search API uses http://search.twitter.com as documented http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search.

To use the Search API I recommend performing a simple cURL request instead.

Also in general TwitterOAuth requests should formated like

   $query = $twitteroauth->get("search", array("q" => $q, "rpp" =>100)>;

instead of

   $query = $twitteroauth->get("search.json?q={$q}&rpp=100");

Finally the integers returned are larger then 32bit PHP supports. In officially supported Twitter API methods most id elements have a matching id_str element that is a string.

Thanks, I originally started out formatting the twitter query with an
array, as you suggest, the final result here is a product of trouble
shooting to get more than just an empty screen.

I will give this a try. Thank you.

I think the issue regarding this -- and I may be out of the loop on an update -- is that the end point of "http://api.twitter.com/1/search" is gone.

Thus, when you construct the url using Abraham's library, you get a url with http://api.twitter.com/1/search as the host instead of using http://search.twitter.com/search
