Usage

Facebook

$facebook = new Coast\Social\Provider\Facebook([
    'credentials' => [
        'appId'       => '',
        'appSecret'   => '',
        'accessToken' => '', // Get from https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
    ],
]);
$feed = $facebook->feed([
    'id'       => '', // User/page ID
    'username' => '', // User/page username
]);
$stats = $facebook->stats(new Coast\Url('http://www.example.com/'));

Twitter

$twitter = new Coast\Social\Provider\Twitter([
    'credentials' => [
        'consumerKey'       => '',
        'consumerSecret'    => '',
        'accessToken'       => '',
        'accessTokenSecret' => '',
    ],
]);
$feed = $twitter->feed([
    'username' => '',
]);

Instagram

$instagram = new Coast\Social\Provider\Instagram([
    'credentials' => [
        'accessToken' => '',
    ],
]);
$feed = $instagram->feed();

The Instagram provider uses the Instagram Basic Display API. Use the User Token Generator to generate an access token. The Instagram Basic Display API only allows access your own data. The input id parameter can be specified, but it is not required and will default to me;

Pinterest

$pinterest = new Coast\Social\Provider\Pinterest([
    'credentials' => [
        'appId'       => '',
        'appSecret'   => '',
        'accessToken' => '', // Get from https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/access_token/
    ],
]);
$feed = $pinterest->feed([
    'id'      => '', // Board ID
]);
$stats = $pinterest->stats(new Coast\Url('http://www.example.com/'));

Aggregate

$social = new Coast\Social([
    'providers' => [
        'twitter'  => $twitter,
        'facebook' => $facebook,
    ],
]);
$feed = $social->feed([ // Feeds from all providers
    'twitter'  => [
        'username' => '',
    ],
    'facebook' => [
        'id' => '',
    ],
]);
$feed = $social->feedFlat([ // Feeds from all providers merged and ordered by date
    'twitter'  => [
        'username' => '',
    ],
    'facebook' => [
        'id' => '',
    ],
]);
$stats = $social->stats(new Coast\Url('http://www.example.com/'));     // Stats from all providers
$stats = $social->statsFlat(new Coast\Url('http://www.example.com/')); // Stats from all providers added together
