Twitter provides an extensive API that allows developers to write interactive applications. Utilizing this API is deceptively simple, and here is an example with curl:
curl -u username:password http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends_timeline.xml
Which will get the statuses of all your friends. You can of course use PHP’s curl library just as easily as the command line, and my next post will focus on using php5-curl
