Followers count

[J7mbo]

According to the docs:

The resource URL you need is: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json
The getfield is: ?screen_name=YOURNAME
It's a GET request

In the response, you should be able to access it by:

$response->followers_count. More information on this page.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm trying to use:

$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$response = $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
                    ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
                    ->performRequest();

echo $response->followers_count;

but get an error:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in ... line "echo $response->followers_count;"

The response is in JSON, so you need to json_decode() it before trying to access the property.

[ZERGE]

Yep. Got it :)

$followers = json_decode($response);
echo $followers->followers_count;

Would you mind uploading your code @ZERGE?

@J7mbo you saved me some frustration man. Was forgetting to use json_decode() while trying to access the response's values
