I wrote about How to find out who don't follow back with Twitter's REST Api and How I track unfollower with Twitter's REST Api.
Now, here is my example how to find the 10 most talkative friends on Twitter using Laravel's collections and abraham/twitteroauth for Twitter's REST Api.
<?php
require "vendor/autoload.php";
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
use Tightenco\Collect\Support\Collection;
$api = new TwitterOAuth(
CONSUMER_KEY,
CONSUMER_SECRET,
ACCESS_TOKEN,
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
);
$now = new \DateTime();
$content = $api->get("friends/ids", [
'screen_name' => 'mnlwldr',
'count' => 5000,
]);
collect($content->ids)
->chunk(100)
->flatMap(function (Collection $ids) use ($api) {
return $api->get('users/lookup', [
'user_id' => $ids->implode(','),
]);
})
->mapWithKeys(function (stdClass $profile) use ($now) {
/* The date when the profile was created */
$profile_created_at = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($profile->created_at)));
/* creation date till today in days */
$days_since_profile_created = $profile_created_at->diff($now)->days;
/* return the screen name as key and the statuses divided by the days */
return [$profile->screen_name => $profile->statuses_count / $days_since_profile_created];
})
/* Sort it descending by ratio */
->sort(function ($a, $b) {
return $b <=> $a;
})
/* We only need the 10 most active users */
->take(10)
/* print out the ratio per day with the link to the profile */
->each(function ($ratio, $user) {
print '[' . number_format($ratio, 2) . ' tweets / day] ' . 'https://twitter.com/' . $user . PHP_EOL;
});
Example output:
[92.10 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_1
[50.00 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_2
[49.32 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_3
[44.42 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_4
[40.39 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_5
[39.68 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_6
[38.08 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_7
[35.54 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_8
[32.92 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_9
[32.43 tweets / day] https://twitter.com/User_10
