twitter api 1.1 - returning NULL

Question

I am trying to use Twitters API in order to retrieve a list of hashtagged results - it used to be quite easy because their was no need for authentication but now its become tricky for me...

I have followed this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12916539/simplest-php-example-for-retrieving-user-timeline-with-twitter-api-version-1-1/15314662#=

But when i load my page it just displays NULL - i am sure i have done every thing correct

Notice - The PHP file below is in the same directory as the file TwitterAPIExchange

Help would be appreciated thanx

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');

/** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
$settings = array(
    'oauth_access_token' => "xxxxx",
    'oauth_access_token_secret' => "xxxxx",
    'consumer_key' => "xxxxx",
    'consumer_secret' => "xxxxx"
);

$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json';
$getfield = '?screen_name=j7mbo';
$requestMethod = 'GET';

$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$response = $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
                    ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
                    ->performRequest();
var_dump(json_decode($response));
?>

What HTTP status code are you getting back? There's a chance you are hitting your query limit for the current time frame. But if it never worked then that might not be it. — Ross Hambrick, Jul 31 '13 at 20:19
I've removed your tokens. As other's have said, this must be a network / environment issue. Try a new set of keys and see if they work better (usually a "rate limit exceeded" message is returned if you hit it). The next thing you can do is try running this code on another server or a test php online page (like codeviper-7 or equivalent). It works for me and also on my VPS :) — Jimbo, Aug 01 '13 at 09:14

Add CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false to the CURL options within the performRequest() method in TwitterAPIExchange.php. That seems to solve it.

It works fine for me. My results are here: http://pastebin.com/FB1zpuuT

Start by verifying that you can connect to this in your web browser. https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json

If you can connect to that, you will see an error message. If not, the problem is likely your network blocking Twitter, or Twitter blocking your ip address.

wierd as hell - when i tried the link in my browser it displayed an error message... but the code still displays NULL for me =/ – Hashey100 Jul 31 '13 at 20:33
This is my second PHP application using Twitter API v1.1 and TwitterAPIExchange. The first app works great but I'm experiencing the exact same result as you: `null` is returned. I tried resetting my Consumer Key and Consumer Secret and replacing my keys in my config file but I'm still getting `null`. I am getting the error when I try to connect to @Terry 's link. – Anthony Sep 16 '13 at 23:55
