+[Instructions in StackOverflow post here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12916539/simplest-php-example-retrieving-user-timeline-with-twitter-api-version-1-1/15314662#15314662) with examples. This post shows you how to get your tokens and more. 
+If you found it useful, please upvote / leave a comment! :)
+
+The aim of this class is simple. You need to:
+
+- Include the class in your PHP code
+- [Create a twitter app on the twitter developer site](https://dev.twitter.com/apps/)
+- Enable read/write access for your twitter app
+- Grab your access tokens from the twitter developer site
+- [Choose a twitter API URL to make the request to](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/)
+- Choose either GET / POST (depending on the request) 
+- Choose the fields you want to send with the request (example: `array('screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock')`)
+
+You really can't get much simpler than that. The above bullet points are an example of how to use the class for a POST request to block a user, and at the bottom is an example of a GET request.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+**Normally:** If you *don't* use composer, don't worry - just include TwitterAPIExchange.php in your application.
+
+```php
+require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
+```
+
+**Via Composer:**
+
+```bash
+composer require j7mbo/twitter-api-php
+```
+
+How To Use
+----------
+
+#### Set access tokens ####
+
+```php
+$settings = array(
+    'oauth_access_token' => "YOUR_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN",
+    'oauth_access_token_secret' => "YOUR_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET",
+    'consumer_key' => "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY",
+    'consumer_secret' => "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET"
+);
+```
+
+#### Choose URL and Request Method ####
+
+```php
+$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/blocks/create.json';
+$requestMethod = 'POST';
+```
+
+#### Choose POST fields (or PUT fields if you're using PUT) ####
+
+```php
+$postfields = array(
+    'screen_name' => 'usernameToBlock', 
+    'skip_status' => '1'
+);
+```
+
+#### Perform the request! ####
+
+```php
+$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
+echo $twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
+    ->setPostfields($postfields)
+    ->performRequest();
+```
+
+GET Request Example
+-------------------
+
+Set the GET field BEFORE calling buildOauth(); and everything else is the same:
+
+```php
+$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json';
+$getfield = '?screen_name=J7mbo';
+$requestMethod = 'GET';
+
+$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
+echo $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
+    ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
+    ->performRequest();
+```
+
+That is it! Really simple, works great with the 1.1 API. Thanks to @lackovic10 and @rivers on SO!
