Usage

The services provided through this package query various social service APIs. In the interests of service availability, please use this package to fetch data at scheduled intervals, e.g. using a CRON job, and caching the data on your server. The easiest way to cache data is to write the JSON feed to a text file, e.g.

file_put_contents($filename, json_encode($data));
