[twitter-dev] Re: Find Location where tweet came from
I was reading this thread and I was wondering if anyone knew how to
search within a specific geolocation and then have the coordinates
(when applicable) to show up in the results. I got my program to
search within a certain area, and I was able to get the coordinates
when not looking in a specific area, but I cannot get it to do both.
Is it possible

Hi,
Is there an easy way to convert these geo-codes into actual locations.
I'm using a lookup table which has been created by matching (geo-code)

Yahoo Placemaker kind of service that developers are already using for
twitter.

yes. I realise this is added by the user.

I apologize if this has been previously covered, but it appears that
explicit geotag info is not shown for any tweet returned via the
search API, regardless of whether a user has authorized public geo
reporting.
As a result, it is possible to determine what is being said in a
specific location, but it is not possible to determine where people
are talking about a specific subject.
I understand you not wanting to show all the signals that lead to a
geo search match, but I can't grok why you're witholding specific
metadata from the search results.
Any light you can shed would be valuable to my customers. Any plans to
change this policy would be rad.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I was thinking.
Would there be any way to return the location data of user with
the
search results for a word?
So that I didn't need to make seperate calls for each user?
thanks so much for your help.

search, however, attempts to use other signals to determine
where the
tweet
is, and will attempt to return more tweets when you use its
search
parameter. it does not, however, expose those signals in the
search
results.

Hi All,
I'm trying to determine the location where a tweet came from.
I know you can do a search specifying the location you want to
look
at
and this checks againist any geo data and then against the
location
data. I'm guessing that twitter does a lot of error checking
and
transforms the location data into a geo coord on the backend
when
you
do this search.
My question is: if I do a search for say a word and get my
results
back I want to be able to check where each of the returned
tweets
came
from. Not just using the geo data that the user may
