I am trying to use the track streaming API, but I'm having trouble with the syntax. The example shows how to use a tracking list stored in a file in the format: track = word1, word2, etc..
I tried the following (following a successful fsockopen call to stream.twitter.api: POST /track.json track = Palin, #fubar HTTP/1.1 Host: stream.twitter.com User-Agent: UserAgent Authorization: Basic cGXybmFzc3TzZGV2OlBhcm5hMzT1Mzl4MDMz Connection: Close and I am getting the following error code: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request The actual relevant test PHP code is: $fp = fsockopen($url, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)\n"; } else { echo "file handle: ".$fp."<br/>"; $header = "POST /track.json track = $trackTerms HTTP/1.1\r\n"; $header .= "Host: stream.twitter.com\r\n"; $header .= "User-Agent: UserAgent\r\n"; $header .= "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($twitUsername . ':' . $twitPwd)."\r\n"; $header .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n"; echo $header."<br/>"; fwrite($fp, $header); $line = fgets($fp, 4096); echo $line; fclose($fp); }
