The getStream Method takes 2 arguments.
- $track. The filter to be applied to the stream (array with comma separated values)
- $callback (optional). A function that will be applied to each Tweet.
$client = $this->get('twitter_connector.twitter_client');
$client->getStream(['track' => 'potato,elephant,cheese'], function($tweet) {
//do what you need to do with the Tweet here (applied to each Tweet)
//In this example I just decode the json and print the 'created_at' and 'text'
//e.g.
$tweetData = json_decode($tweet);
$out = [
'created_at' => $tweetData->created_at,
'text' => $tweetData->text
];
print_r($out);
});See Twitter User Timeline docs
