[twitter-dev] Re: url as an input
Hi, Thanks for your replies. I tried with following url formats separately, all are properly url encoded. 1. Plain URL 2. TinyURL 3. Bitly UR But those 3 behaves differently for same URL. For URL A TinyURL has results, For B Bitly has results, Plain URL also have some results. Finally I passed all three combined using OR operator... That gave me total results little in little bit high volume.. Still even that composit search produces very less than on-site URL for the same result.. That s the issue..

[twitter-dev] Re: url as an input
Actually what I meant, Say I did a search on URL at backtweets.com and gave me 256 results. But when I search the same url via their API using a program it gives 26 results ... That is why I am being confused on that.. Am I not in correct track or their API gives lesser output than their own onsite search ... B.

[twitter-dev] Re: url as an input
Hi, could someone please post an example API request, I mean the url as input, which api request to be used. I tried with http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q= using tinyURL, bitly even plain url, then with OR operator, but I dont get much as (actually very few) backtweet results. What do you suggest me to use? How backtweers operate ?? Thanks and Best Regards B.
