[twitter-dev] Re: Return number of tweets in a Search
Something that you might find interesting as a developer is this recent announcement from DataSift: Funding for DataSift Developers: http://bit.ly/hOYpNh And DataSift to Twitter open source code: http://bit.ly/gDo2wA Enjoy!

Thanks for the suggestions - might try and utilise DataSift for it. On Jan 13, 1:04 am, @Red_Eyes millerdotp...@gmail.com wrote: The maximum number of tweets you can return per page is 100. If you return all the pages available you can get to around 1,500 max. These limits are defined in the search API documentation. (http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search). You may be better either looking at the streaming API and hope some of the Tweets you are looking for turn up, or use your random number generator to search n times and pull back 100 Tweets at a go. You would have to set an interval between searches otherwise you are likley to pull back the same Tweet more than once, especially if it is a seldom used hashtag. Perhaps if you have a number of hashtags you are looking for, you could round robin through all of them with a suitable delay between each one (still checking for duplicates)... or possibly check for the same hashtag at the same time each day if you are looking for some sort of frequency indicator. Alternatively add some sort of randomness to the date range per your example.

[twitter-dev] Re: Find posts from a certain app
Part of DataSift's plan is to include analytics, so you may find that when we've implemented this feature that source will be part of that. Do keep an eye out for updates to DataSift and if you haven't already seen there's a great opportunity for UK devs to get funding for application ideas that use DataSift. More details here: http://blog.datasift.com/2011/01/19/funding-datasift-dev/ Many thanks Sarah On Jan 3, 4:17 pm, Tom van der Woerdt i...@tvdw.eu wrote: On 1/3/11 4:52 PM, Tod wrote: Is there a tool that will let me search/find all posts to Twitter from a certain application? (or at least get stats by application?) Say of for example, you are giving an app away and you want to find out how many people are using it. DataSift lets you stream these tweets. However, I do not know of any application that shows you statistics.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API and location
Hi Tom, DataSift is still in closed Alpha but we have enabled a large number of users within the Alpha to date and will add additional users for the Beta so if you'd like early access it's well worth signing up on http://datasift.net and you may find you get in before we launch the consumer release version.
