TwitterOAuth is the most popular PHP library for interacting with Twitter's OAuth REST API, providing minimalist generic wrappers for API requests. It is now in maintenance mode with no new feature development planned.

Use cases

• authenticate Twitter users with OAuth in a PHP app
• post tweets from PHP
• fetch a user's home timeline from the Twitter API
• call Twitter API v1.1 and v2 endpoints from PHP
• build the Twitter authorization URL for a login flow
• exchange an oauth verifier for an access token

When to choose

• you need a battle-tested, widely used PHP client for the Twitter REST API
• you want generic wrappers that keep working as Twitter adds API features
• you need both OAuth authorization flow handling and API requests in one library

When to avoid

• you need active feature development or support for new Twitter/X API changes
• your project is not in PHP
• you need a client for platforms other than Twitter
