[twitter-dev] Can we do advanced "OR search" on search API?
Hi everyone, I'm working on "AND & OR search" on search API. I know I can do the query "A OR B" , but I'd like to use more search parameter, like, (A & B) OR (C & D). Is it possible to do that kind of parenthetic query? In my investigation, A & B OR C would be A + (B OR C) , like, http://search.twitter.com/search?q=movie+%22black+swan%22++OR+%22Pirates+of+the+Caribbean%22 But, I'd like to use more advanced one.

[twitter-dev] Re: How long can we access a past profile picture?
Thanks Matt, Oh that's right! It consumes API rate limit using the second method. So, if I consider a rate limited API, I should user the first method, which is just a link to image. But then, when user change it, the possibility of unaccessible to the image may occur. Is it right? I have to show a lot of comments with the images on my website. So, probably i will user the first one to show the profile image.

[twitter-dev] How long can we access a past profile picture?
Hi guys, I'm planning to store a Profile Picture URL to DB from json by search API. When a user change picture, it seems we can still access it for a while. But is it permanent or just short term? I found there are 2 ways to get profile pics. "http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1407755095/cat_normal.jpg"; and "http://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image/watermusica.xml";. Shouldn't I user the former way?

[twitter-dev] Re: The max length of Profile Image URL and alternative way to get it.
OK. I got the point. Api to get profile_image by "http://api.twitter.com/1/users/ profile_image/USERID.xml" looks perfect. I will use this statement for DB. Then, 70 chars would be fine I think. Like, 50 chars for URL part except USERID + 20 chars for USERID = varchar 70.

[twitter-dev] Re: Maximum length of User ID
Arnaud , That was really helpful. I will have 20 char for screen_name and UserID too.

[twitter-dev] The max length of Profile Image URL and alternative way to get it.
Hi guys, I'm going to store profile image URL to DB. This is my image. "http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1272842227/android- wallpaper4_2560x1600.png" But, what is the max length of it? and what does the number, 1272842227 mean? Also if possible, I'd like to get profile image by userID, like, on facebook i can get image by "http://graph.facebook.com/USERID/ picture". Is it possible on Twitter also?
