[twitter-dev] Return Public Timeline Tweets based on Geo Location

[Mark W]

I've searched for a solution, but couldn't find one.

I'm looking for a way that I can feed in a GeoLocation (Lat,Long) and
get the latest x tweets posted from around that area.

statuses/public_timeline doesn't support GeoLocation.

I looked at search, which can limit the returned amount by
GeoLocation, however, it requires a query search string, which I don't
have.

Any help or friendly point in the right direction is appreciated...

Thanks.

Mark

The streams function of twitter can do this.
