Need help with Twitter / Blackbird Pie

Question

I have a lot of problems working through the API for Blackbird Pie, especially since their API is actually not an API, but, apparently, just a blog.

Here is the API link from Blackbird Pie.

I want to be able to use the unique tweet link that the user enters into my MySQL database and display them on the page using a query and PHP, but I'm not sure how to do this. Searches simply show methods for embedding tweets manually, which is not what I want.

Thanks in advance.

Pindatjuh makes a good point. Therefore, if I understand this, you basically create a Twitter feed, but don’t want it to be displayed via json or xml from twitter. You can write a small phpscript file to clear the information, and before you drop it into the database, check that the information is correct. If I understand you correctly, you can check this scraper for IMDB.

Perhaps you, perhaps, change it to your needs.

Another suggestion is the json feed I wrote. Instead of repeating the output, you can throw it into the database.
