Hi,
probably it is too late to change it now, but someone has to say it: I
think it is the wrong approach to do HTML escaping in the API on the
Twitter side. For starters, not every consumer is a Website. Secondly,
even if I am a website, now I have to rely on Twitter getting the
escaping right.
Just had an idea: maybe Twitter could add an optional parameter to
switch off HTML escaping (escapeHTHML=false or something like that).
That way developers who are unaware of the issue would get the escaped
HTML, and the developers who are aware could get the proper data.
Myself and my friend are doing a research based on twitter. We need to
analyse each and every tweet real time. Can you guide how to approach
this.
There could be 2 ways of doing this (without Firehose):
1) Get Twitter Public timeline repeatedly.
