What is Twools?

Twools started off as a way to get back RSS feeds from Twitter. Twitter retired version 1 of their API in June 2013 as well as retiring RSS feeds. As well as not having access to RSS feeds, you need to be authenticated to use the API which raises the bar for Twitter users and developers.

It has been my intention to make this as easy as possible for you install, however you do need to install this on your own website (PHP is required). It is just a case of editing a few lines in a file (with your Twitter app details) and uploading to your website.

Twools offers a number of RSS feeds from the Twitter API:

• Your home timeline
• User timeline (yours or another user's)
• Your mentions
• Your favorites
• List timeline (from a list that you own)
• Direct messages received (disabled by default)
• Direct messages Sent (disabled by default)
• Twitter Search
• New followers
• New friends

You can filter the results from the Twitter API by only outputting tweets containing certain keywords, hashtags or screen names or even by the app used to send the Tweet. As well as that you can filter based on the user (currently their location and language). Finally, you can modify the data outputted in the RSS feed by removing URLs, screen names, hashtags etc or share your recipe with other folders.

As well as an RSS feed generator, Twools has a basic direct message spam filter (experimental- use at your own risk!) and a simple social media management tool (basically an HTML version of the RSS filters). You can also keep an eye on your API usage on the Status page.

Why would you need this?

Good question! According to Twitter, XML, Atom, and RSS are infrequently used today. Really? Well, instead of arguing the point too much here, I know I am not the only one who has been looking for a way to get their Twitter RSS feeds back. Probably one of the most sought after reason was to replace Twitter triggers in IFTTT which disappeared back in September 2012. There are other advantages too, such as backing up your tweets or cross posting with other apps. Please make sure sure you have a proper read of the Twitter API Rules of the Road and use Twools responsibly.

With Twools, you could produce feeds that allow you to:

• Cross post to LinkedIn using the #li hashtag
• Bookmark or cross post your Twitter Faves:
• Add new followers from the a certain country or location to a Twitter list:
• Add articles that I tweet using a certain app to evernote.
• Get emailed when someone mentions your brand negatively.
• Get emailed when someone links to an article on your website even if they don't mention you.
• Add someone mentioning a keyword to a Twitter list

Twools also does some powerful things with the output such as removing hashtags, screen names and urls. You can also remove hashtags from the end whilst keeping them in the main body of the tweet (but removing the #symbol. You can unshorten URLs too to get rid of those pesky short URLs and get the RSS feed item to link to the article instead of the tweet (good for posting to social networks such as LinkedIn and Twitter)

As well as an RSS feed generator, Twools has a basic direct message spam filter (experimental- use at your own risk!) and a simple social media management tool (basically an HTML version of the RSS filters). You can also keep an eye on your API usage on the Status page.

What do I need to Run Twools? The Requirements

Firstly, you need to decide which version of Twools you want to run. There is a WordPress plugin version and a standalone version. I would highly recommend running the WordPress version as it is much easier to use.

For both versions you need a website with PHP. As Twools is written in PHP, you will need to check that your website has PHP installed. If your website uses WordPress then this will definitely be the case. I have tested it using PHP 5.2 an above. You will also need to have cURL installed- most hosting environments should have this as standard- check with your host. You may also want to check that your host has the latest root certificates installed for cURL as I've had reports of some hosting hosts not bothering to do this. If Twools doesn't work, you'll need to ask your host!

If you want to use the standalone version of Twools then you will need to edit a few lines in the config file and uploading it to your website.

---

Twools Settings

If you are using the standalone version of Twools, you need to edit the config.php file to add your Twools settings. Everything is a whole lot easier if you are using the WordPress version where you can add the settings in the WordPress dashboard menu for Twools. For further information, see installation.

---

Twools Home

Once you are logged into Twools, you will be presented with the Home screen. This gives a brief intro, the version number and links to all the tools. You can also log out of Twools by clicking the button at the bottom.

Twools Streams

Twools Streams is a basic social media management tool for Twitter using the same filters as the RSS tool. Think about it like a super basic version of Tweetdeck or Hootsuite. It is simple in that it only gives you one stream at a time (at least in the current version of Twools) and it doesn't auto-refresh. However, it is powerful in that it has the same powerful filters has Twools Feeds.

I won't go through all the options in the screenshot above fully because most of these options are the same in the next tool, Twools Feeds.

First of all you need to choose what Input Feed you want to retrieve from Twitter. This could be your timeline, mentions or even a Twitter search. Some feeds require more information (such as Twitter search or lists). Once you've chosen the feed, you then need to choose how many results you want to work with. Remember, once you run filters on these results, you may be left with less than this number, so it is best to choose a higher number. You can then run filters on these results. For example you could choose to only return tweets containing the hashtag #socialmedia or tweets from @iagdotme posted using Buffer. Click on the Update button and you will see your results. If you want to see multiple streams, then you can always open another instance in another tab.

---

Twools Feeds

Twools feeds gives you RSS feeds from the Twitter API and was the main reason I built Twools. It is similar to Twools Streams in that you choose an input and various filters, but it is more powerful and outputs as an RSS feed instead of HTML

Please note- the RSS feed output is NOT password protected and potentially public. Do keep your RSS feeds private, especially as they will use up your API limits. In future versions of Twools I hope to introduce caching which will reduce this. Twools does offer RSS feeds of your direct messages, but this is disabled by default. Offering public RSS feeds of your direct messages is probably something you would want to think twice about.

1. Input

First of all you will need to choose which input feed you want to retrieve from Twitter. You have the following choices:

• Your home timeline
• User timeline (yours or another user's)
• Your mentions
• Your favorites
• List timeline (from a list that you own)
• Direct messages received (disabled by default)
• Direct messages Sent (disabled by default)
• Twitter Search
• New followers
• New friends

For user timeline you have the option to give the screen name of another user so that you can retrieve the tweets of another use. For list timelines you must select which list you want to retrieve the tweets for. The list of your Twitter lists is now cached in Twools. For Twitter Search, you must enter the search query. For more information see the examples on the Using Search page in the Twitter API documentation.

You can then choose how many results you want to retrieve. You can select between 10 and 200 results. Please note that if you filter these results using the Twools filters, you will end up with less than this number. This is just the number of results that Twools is going to work with. Currently you can only select up to 100 results when you output screen names (for example to view your new followers or friends).

2. Filters

Once we've retrieved the results from the Twitter API, you can then run several filters on them so that you can only return certain results. The filters are either on the tweets themselves or the user that sent them.

Filters on Tweets

• Containing any keyword, #hashtag or @screen_name:
  You can filter by a single keyword, hashtag or screen name in this field. For example if you wanted to return only tweets containing the hashtag #socialmedia, you would enter that here. Or you could put a screen name (for example @iagdotme) to only return tweets that mention that user.
• Containing all keywords, #hashtags or @screen_names:
  You can filter by multiple keywords, hashtags or screen names in this field. This is similar to the previous field except that you can add multiple keywords, hashtags or screen names by separating them by a comma. For example you could enter "#socialmedia, @iagdotme" to only return tweets containing the hashtag #socialmedia and mentioning @iagdotme
• Containing none keywords, #hashtags or @screen_names:
  You can filter by multiple keywords, hashtags or screen names in this field. This is similar to the previous field except only tweets that DO NOT contain any of these keywords, hashtags or screen names will be displayed.
• Containing single #hashtag:
  Identical to the first field except that this specific hashtag can be removed from the feed output if selected in the final option.
• From:
  Only tweets from these users will be returned
• Not From:
  Only tweets not from these users will be returned
• Using Apps:
  You can filter by the app used to send the tweet. You can select multiple app names by separating by a comma. For example, to return tweets posted with either Hootsuite or Buffer you could enter "Hootsuite, Buffer" here.
• Not Using Apps:
  Similar to the previous field but here you can return tweets that were posted not using these apps. You can select multiple app names by separating by a comma. For example, to return tweets that were NOT posted using either Hootsuite or Buffer you could enter "Hootsuite, Buffer" here.
• Exclude Scheduling Apps:
  By checking this box you can exclude a variety of scheduling apps (such as Buffer, IFTTT, Social Oomph and Triberr) from the results. You can edit the list by editing the config file (see later).
• Exclude RTs:
  By checking this box you can exclude RTs from the results. This uses Twitters own API to only return non retweets, but also searches for RT in the tweets.
• Been Favorited:
  Only return tweets that have been favorited.
• Been Retweeted:
  Only return tweets that have been retweeted.

Filters on Tweets

• In Location:
  You can filter by the location of the person who tweeted the tweet. This filter looks at the location string the users' profile.
• In Bio:
  You can filter a keyword from the user's profile.
• Writes in Language:
  You can filter by the language that person who tweeted the tweet writes in.

3. Output

Now that we've returned the results from Twitter and filtered out the ones we don't want, we can output the RSS feed. However, there are still quite a few things we can do to make the feed the way we want it to be.

• Remove specified Hashtag:
  If you entered a hashtag in the 'Containing single #hashtag' field above, you can remove this from the output. This is particularly useful if you want to use for cross posting. For example if you want to retrieve tweets with the #li hashtag to cross post to LinkedIn, you won't want the #li hashtag to appear in the feed.
• Remove all Hashtags:
  This is fairly brutal- it removes all hashtags including inline ones.
• Remove all hashtags from end, but only remove '#' elsewhere:
  This is probably more useful than the previous hashtag filter. It removes all hashtags from the end of the tweet. However it keeps hashtags in the main body of the tweet but removes the "#" symbol. This is useful when people use hashtags inline where removing would lose the sense of the tweet. For example "Great #twitter app gives you back your #rss feeds #socialmedia #twittertools" would become "Great twitter app gives you back your rss feeds".
• Remove all screen names (including 'via @screenname'):
  This removes all screen names from the tweet. Useful for cross posting and cleaning up tweets.
• Link to 1st URL contained in tweet (if available):
  The RSS feed usually links to each tweet, but if you check this option, Twools will link to the first URL contained in each tweet. This is very useful if you want to bookmark articles from tweets, or cross post to LinkedIn or Facebook linking to the article contained in the tweet.
• Unshorten URL (if "Linked to 1st URL contained in tweet" is selected) - SLOW:
  Twools attempts to unshorten the URL contained in the tweet by finding out where it redirects to. This can be very slow as Twools has to go through each URL individually. This can be useful when you want to link to clean URLs. It is hoped to cache these URLs in future versions of Twools.
• Remove all URLs:
  Removes all URLs from the tweet. This is particularly useful if you have selected "link to 1st URL contained in Tweet".
• Show screen name of sender instead of tweet.:
  If you want to return the screen name of the person who sent the tweet, select this option. This is useful if you want to find out info on your followers or people who mentioned you. You could use this information to follow, unfollow or add them to a list.

Sharing

If you would like to share your recipe with other Twools users, then select "Output recipe string instead of RSS feed". Twools is very powerful, but a lot of people will find it helpful to see practical examples of its use. I'd love it if you could share your examples in the comments below by adding the recipe string.

Output Feed

Once you've entered all your filters and selected your output requirements, it is time to generate your feed. Click the big blue button to do that. You can the copy the URL to use later.

Please note that each time you view a different feed you will be requesting data from the Twitter API and using up part of your limit. Each feed is cached for 1 hour (although you can change this default in Twools settings). Keep an eye on your API limit using the built in Limits page. Keep your RSS feeds private. Twools appends a special secret string to each RSS feed URL which is unique.

---

Spam Filter

UPDATE - September 2014 - Unfortunately this currently does not work. There seems to be an issue with the PHP API script and the Twitter API. It seems that Twitter has changed the way the API responds to the script. We're currently looking into it. 

This is very experimental, so only use if you know what you are doing. Like the rest of Twools (but this feature in particular) I cannot be held responsible for any loss of data! The warning out the way, this tool allows you to quickly clear your direct messages of spam. To use, you will need to allow Twools to access your direct messages as well as allow your Twitter app to do so. You can add your own key phrases but currently this has to be done by editing the config.php or config-wp.php file.The spam filter then scans your direct messages and if it finds a match it will delete it.

I got so fed up with my direct messages being spammed with useless messages that I built this into Twools. You could set this up on a schedule (say once every hour) to purge your inbox of spam.

As well as editing the config.php file (for the standalone version of Twools) or the config-wp.php file (for the WordPress plugin version of Twools) with your keywords you will also have to change $allowDMs to TRUE and give your Twitter app full permissions to access your direct messages

---

Sharing and Using Recipes

As I said above, you can share your feed recipe with others by selecting "Output recipe string instead of RSS feed" in Twools Feeds. Once you do this, you will be given a recipe string that you can share with others (share yours in the comments). As well as that you can use a recipe that someone else has shared. By entering it in the box, you can then have a check to see if you want to go ahead and then generate the feed based on that recipe.

Example Recipes

You can share feed recipes from other Twools users as well as saving and sharing some of your own. These recipes allow you to generate RSS feeds which you can then use in other apps. Basically you're just sharing the query string for the feed generator, but the idea is to make it as easy as possible to share and have fun. However you must make sure you have a proper read of the Twitter API Rules of the Road. Here are some examples:

Articles I post on Twitter using Triberr

You could use this to add articles that you tweet from Triberr (or another app) to Evernote. This retrieves your tweets posted via Triberr. It removed URLs & screen names from the tweets. As well as this, it removes hashtags from end (and removing '#' from the rest). It extracts the URL and unshortens it and puts in link field.

inputType=timeline&count=50&appname=Triberr&filterscreennames=1&extracturl=1&deshortifyurl=1&filterurls=1

Return anyone who uses the hashtag #socialmedia

You could use this feed with IFTTT to automatically add someone who uses this hashtag to a list.

inputType=search&search=%23socialmedia&count=20&showscreenname=1

Tweets from your timeline that use the #li hashtag

Could be used to cross post to LinkedIn when using the #li hashtag

inputType=timeline&count=50&hashtag=%23li&filterspecifiedhashtag=1&filterhashtagsend=1&filterscreennames=1&extracturl=1&deshortifyurl=1&filterurls=1

Your Twitter favorites

All URLs, screen names and hashtags have been removed. URL extracted and de-shortified. Could be used for Bookmarking or cross post your Twitter Faves

inputType=favorites&count=10&filterhashtagsend=1&filterscreennames=1&extracturl=1&deshortifyurl=1&filterurls=1

Recent followers from the UK

Retrieves the screen names of all your recent followers with the keyword "UK" in their location. You could use this to automatically add your latest followers from the UK to a Twitter list using IFTTT.

inputType=followersnew&count=50&location=UK&filterhashtagsend=1

---

Twitter API Current Limits

Twools connects to the Twitter API via the Twitter app you registered. Depending on the type of call you make, you have a certain number of calls allowed every 15 minutes. If you use these up, you will have to wait until the next 15 minute window starts. You will receive an error message in Twools if this happens. RSS feeds will send a "temporary unavailable" header so that feed readers will try again when the limits are reset.

You can monitor your API usage within Twools by going to the Limits section. This shows your limit and remaining calls for every API stream. Twools doesn't make use of every stream type listed, but it can be a helpful way of monitoring your usage.

How To Install

Installation for Twools for WordPress

• Download the ZIP file (if you haven't already got the ZIP file, sign up for Twools above)
• Go to the WordPress dashboard for the website you wish to install Twools on
• Go to plugins->add new and click on "upload" at the above.
• browse to the ZIP file you downloaded and click install now
• Activate Plugin
• You should now be taken to the Twools menu page.
• You will need to create a Twitter app at dev.twitter.com. I've written in depth instructions on how to do this in an article on my website- How to Create a Twitter App in 8 Easy Steps.
• Enter the access tokens from your Twitter app on to the Twools menu page.
• Click generate string to generate random secret string.
• If you want to use your own list of excluded apps, you can enter them. These need to be comma separated. For example IFTTT,Buffer,Social Oomph
• Click update and then click on the "Launch Twools" button to begin!

Installation for Twools (Standalone Version)

If you don't have a WordPress based website to install Twools on, you will have to use the standalone version. This does require a little more work and you will need to edit some code. But fear not, I have tried to make it as easy as possible!

• Download the ZIP file
• Go to dev.twitter.com and register your Twitter app (instructions below).
• Edit the config file in /incs/config.php and fill in the keys from your new Twitter app as well as your Twitter username and the username and password you want to protect Twools.
• Upload Twools to your website and visit it on your site
• That should be it!

You will need to create a Twitter app at dev.twitter.com. I've written in depth instructions on how to do this in an article on my website- How to Create a Twitter App in 8 Easy Steps.

To use Twools, you will have to edit a PHP file. If that scares you, don't worry- I have tried to make it as easy as possible. You do not have to know PHP, be a developer or a coder- I promise!.

Open up the config.php file in the "incs" folder and edit the bits as follows.

Firstly, make sure that the following line is commented out. Since you aren't using the WordPress version, you don't want to include the WordPress version of the config file:

/ include('config-wp.php');return;

Secondly, you will need to set the username and password you want to secure Twools (replace "demo" and "demo" with your new username and password). The $padding string adds some jibberish to make the username and password a bit more secure (the "salt").

// Set username and password to protect access to Twools (RSS feeds will still not be password protected).
// Put some jibberish on the padding string for extra protection
$config['username'] = "demo";
$config['password'] = "demo";
$padding = "g`0*Y;6VOx`AIb+WBE>uKU1w;_cV-`&Y[ZgUDeZ3~jmdx]u7DGKUVN1W9~~W;kbk";

Once you've done that, enter those access tokens here:

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

As well as this, you should enter your Twitter username by entering it within the quotes for each item:

// Replace by setting the default Twitter username (exclude the @ symbol)
$defaultUser = "iagdotme";

If you want to expand on the app filters, then please add more in the config.php file. I've added some myself, such as SocialOomph, Buffer, JustRetweet and more. These apps are great, but it's just that sometimes you want to declutter your feed:

// If you want to exclude apps in the app filter, add some more here....
$excludeApps = array("IFTTT","Buffer","Paper.li","Triberr","SocialOomph","TweetAdder","JustRetweet","dlvr.it","WPTweetily","Twuffer","twitterfeed","Tweet Old Post");

If you really want Twools to access your direct messages, then you will need to set $allowDMs to TRUE. As well as this, you will need to give your Twitter app full access permissions:

// Allow RSS feeds of Direct Messages? Allowing this will effectively make your direct messages publicly viewable via the RSS feed. Use at your own risk. To switch on change "FALSE" to "TRUE"
$allowDMs = TRUE;

You can also edit the $spamFilter array if you plan on using the experimental spam filter. Just edit the phrases to the way you want. Only use this at your own risk!

Once you've done this, you need to upload everything and run from your website. That's it!

Future Development

(Updated September 2014)

• Provide a GUI for the config file (in the standalone version)- to make it easier for people to use. Possible store the info in an XML/JSON file.
• Combine Streams and Feeds to one page. Once HTML version has been displayed, you have the option to get the RSS feed. Backwards compatibility a must.
• Cache RSS feeds instead of JSON from API
• Show previously used feeds
• Remove DM Spam filter (currently not working due to possible API changes)
• Look at caching HTML streams?
• Cache redirected URLs
• Option to delete cache
• Option to email latest streams (with scheduler - cron/wp-cron)
• Add sentiment detection
• Filters: Exclude mentions, exclude replies, exclude dot replies
• Filters: Only show tweets from people who have under/over certain number followers/friends
• Filters: Only show tweets from people who are or are not verified
• Show Twitter cards and links
• Filters: Only show tweets that have received replies
• Add repo to Git Hub
• In Twitter HTML stream- highlight which tweets have been responded to
• In RSS and HTML streams add filter for tweets that have been responded to
• Allow returning of more results by doing multiple API requests
• Pagination for RSS and HTML feeds (including an offset dropdown)
• Checkboxes to follow/unfollow individual people on page
• Improve interactivity (retweets/faves/replies) in Streams

Other possible ideas

• Multiple Twitter account support
• Add tweets to a database
• Allow multiple columns in streams (similar to TweetDeck/Hootsuite)
• Option to return full articles (with titles) of the URLs in tweets
• In RSS and HTML streams add filter for tweets that contain a link or a Twitter card (possibly video or photo)
• Add user to list app- add a users to a list automatically based on an app, search or mention
• Automatically block followers who mention a keyword
• Option to follow all people on page.
• Option to unfollow all people on a page
• Clone List tool (Add all members to a list from another list, remove all members who aren't in)
• Follow from list tool (follow all people in a list)
