[twitter-dev] Re: Return number of tweets in a Search
The app is a competition system, so really I need to try and retrieve all entries of a hashtag if possible (but if it's not possible, then other comp systems mustn't either, surely?) Thanks for the suggestions - might try and utilise DataSift for it. On Jan 13, 1:04 am, @Red_Eyes millerdotp...@gmail.com wrote: The maximum number of tweets you can return per page is 100. If you return all the pages available you can get to around 1,500 max. These limits are defined in the search API documentation. (http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search). You may be better either looking at the streaming API and hope some of the Tweets you are looking for turn up, or use your random number generator to search n times and pull back 100 Tweets at a go. You would have to set an interval between searches otherwise you are likley to pull back the same Tweet more than once, especially if it is a seldom used hashtag. Perhaps if you have a number of hashtags you are looking for, you could round robin through all of them with a suitable delay between each one (still checking for duplicates)... or possibly check for the same hashtag at the same time each day if you are looking for some sort of frequency indicator. Alternatively add some sort of randomness to the date range per your example.

[twitter-dev] xAuth and Delphi
Hello all, This is my first post on this list. I'm writing a Twitter application which has xAuth access but I'm having problems writing it in Delphi, I used the TTwitter thing but this doesn't seem to have xAuth functionality and I can't get it to work. Does someone have an example of a Delphi xAuth app or can help me out with some code?

[twitter-dev] Re: Search Twitter Feed from a group of Twitters
Thanks Taylor! This was helpful. On Jan 12, 12:01 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: There are no search within a set capabilities really in the Twitter API or Search API. There are a few approaches you can take, but all of them defer the search part of operation to you and you'll have to accept that you'll not have the full possible dataset to search against. One popular way to search within a given set of users is to assemble a Twitter List containing the users of interest, paginate through the List timeline as your needs (and the data supply) allows, and then perform the search against the tweets/metadata retrieved, acknowledging that a list doesn't comprise all of the tweets (or any of the retweets) authored by the users on the list (@replies / tweets beginning with a @mention to users not belonging to the list are excluded). Other methods are retrieval of various (user) timelines, merging them together, then searching against. The most efficient way to collect tweets for a given set of public users when historical tweets are not important is to use the follow feature of the Streaming API.

[twitter-dev] user streams example
Hi, I've been looking around but have so far been unable to find any code examples of using user streams (http://dev.twitter.com/pages/ user_streams). I might just be being a little dumb but i've had a look at a few libraries in different languages and none seem to mention them. Also do user streams need to be turned on per account? I've been messing around with some of my own code but my request is just hanging. I'm trying to work out if it's something wrong with my implementation or if I've got to be white listed?

[twitter-dev] Re: Return number of tweets for an account
Hi Ciprian, The number of tweets is listed in the statuses_count field for the user. You can access this by hitting the /users/show endpoint of the API. For example: http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name=dtran320 Then look at the 'statuses_count' parameter.

Note that that only counts tweets still in twitter’s database. If a user deletes a tweet, the count will go down. If I tweet 1000 times and then delete 999 tweets, my tweet count will read 1. -- -ed costello -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
