This PHP tutorial fetches your last 10 tweets containing links using the Twitter Search API, then displays them in an unordered list (<ul>). It requires PHP 5.2.0 or above to use PHP’s built-in JSON functions.

One of the key restrictions with the Twitter API is that any client IP address can only make x number of API calls per hour. If you’re making these API calls from your web server (which obviously only a static IP address), you could quickly use up your hourly allocation on a busy site. Twitter does allow you to “whitelist” your web application to give you a better hourly rate, but here’s a better way: Use the clients, ie your users, to make the API calls from their browsers.

Web services are taking over the world. I credit Twitter’s epic rise to the availability of a simple but rich API. Why not use the same model for your own sites? Here’s how to create a basic web service that provides an XML or JSON response using some PHP and MySQL.

Everyone loves Twitter. Everyone loves MooTools. That’s why everyone should love TwitterGitter, a MooTools plugin that retrieves a user’s recent tweets and allows the user to format them however the user would like. TwitterGitter allows the user to choose the number of tweets to retrieve and returns an object containing the data provided by Twitter.

Many of us have many “homes” on the interwebs. Personally I use Twitter, Flickr, ScrnShots, and Facebook. These web services are cool enough to offer ways to interact with them and pull data out of them without even necessarily visiting the site itself. This is called an API (or Application Programming Interface).
