exportcomments-php

Official PHP client for the ExportComments API. Export Social Media Comments from your PHP apps.

Autoload

The first step to use exportcomments-php is to download composer:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Then we have to install our dependencies using:

$ php composer.phar install

Now we can use autoloader from Composer by:

{
  "require": {
    "exportcomments/exportcomments-php": "~0.1"
  }
}

Or, if you don't want to use composer, clone the code and include this line of code:

require 'autoload.php';

Usage examples

Here are some examples of how to use the library in order to create and use exports:

require 'autoload.php';

// Use the API key from your account
$export = new ExportComments\Client('<YOUR API KEY HERE>');

Create export

// Create a new export
$data = array('url' => 'https://www.facebook.com/post/123456789', 'replies' => false, 'twitterType' => null);
$res = $export->exports->createExport($data);
var_dump($res);
