[twitter-dev] Re: tracking URLs using Streaming API
In order to accomplish this, you need to follow each and every link that gets passed on Twitter to see if it matches the domain you are looking for. We do this on inView for our clients, and it may be what you are looking for: http://myinview.com (Note: This is our service, there may be others doing this, but if so, I am unaware of them) -Joel On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 4:37 AM, Robert Chatley rob...@metabroadcast.comwrote: Hi, I want to use the Streaming API to track all the statuses that include URLs from a particular domain. e.g. * I really like http://mysite.com;, * http://mysite.com/goodstuff is great etc. Given the current track api this doesn't seem to be possible? If I specify http://mysite.com; as a keyword, it doesn't match the above cases. Is there a way to do that? A specific keyword syntax perhaps? We happen to be using the Twitter4J java client, but I don't think this is a client issue. Using the search api, specifying mysite.com (but not http:// mysite.com) finds the statuses we want to match, but we would rather use the streaming api rather than polling. thanks, Robert

You could track on http, but you'll be rate limited. You can track on mysite and I think you'll get what you want, and a little more, but if you track on mysite.com you probably won't get anything. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.
