Twitter Cache?

[indie]

Does anyone know how to cache Tweets as to not reach the API rate limit? I am using the Twitter-provided widget to display multiple profiles on a website, but the API hits the limit of 150 per hour. Is there any way to cache the Tweets and still use this widget? Or does anyone know of a good widget that caches, or simple code?

 

If anyone knows, please explain in newbie terms.

 

Thanks a lot!

Thanks, but I'm not seeing cache code.

Any help appreciated.

have you thought to use twitter cache  and JSON:confused:

example:

<?php

require_once("JSON.php");
require_once("TwitterCacher.php");

$twEmail = "you@example.com";
$twPass = "password";

$json = new Services_JSON();
$tc = new TwitterCacher($twEmail,$twPass);

// I do this just to be a nice guy. So Twitter knows who we are.
$tc->setUserAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; TwitterCacher/1.0;)");

// Read the timeline from the cache, or from Twitter.
$timeline = $json->decode( $tc->getUserTimeline() );

foreach( $timeline as $tweet ) {

  // Get the Tweet itself.
  $text = $tweet->text;

  // Twitter uses GMT+0 but I convert it to my local time.
  $date = date('M j, Y @ h:i A', strtotime($tweet->created_at));

  echo $text . "<br />" . $date . "<hr />";

}

?>

Can that be used in conjunction with the widget Twitter provides? And if so how?

 

Thanks a lot.
