I'm trying to do an API call to twitter and followed the documentation at http://fuelphp.com/docs/classes/request/curl.html but can't seem to get the ball rolling. (Keep getting the Bloody Hell page).

Here is my quick and dirty test code (with the set_params and set_header info omitted.)

$curl = Request::forge('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json', 'curl');

$curl->set_method('get');

$curl->execute();

$result = $curl->response();

print_r ($result);

I realize this won't authenticate but I'm expecting this back from twitter at least. Anyone got any ideas? (or a link to an simple working example using the Request/Curl class? Thanks

errors:
[
- {
  - message: "Bad Authentication data",
  - code: 215
  }
]

}

You get that because twitter responds with an HTTP STATUS 400, and the curl driver sees that as a NOT FOUND. So you need to catch that to avoid the framework taking over.

try
{
    $curl = Request::forge('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json', 'curl');
    $curl->set_method('get');
    $curl->execute();
}
catch (\HttpNotFoundException $e)
{
    $result = $curl->response();
    print_r ($result);
}
