[twitter-dev] Geo API. Londra v.s. London
Hi,
I'm having a strange problem. I'm calling the geo search API using
this URL:
http://api.twitter.com/1/geo/search.json?lat=51.52364784612407long=-0.04422773387148005accuracy=50mgranularity=poi
And the the full_name of the poi's contains 'Londra' rather than
'London'. The lower details report 'London'. Has a new parameter
been added to the API for language that I should present? The JSON is
as follows:

[twitter-dev] Re: Conversation stream
Ah I see. I was appending .json to the status in an attempt to get that. I didn't expect HTML! I guess this probably won't stay around for long as it doesn't look like a method made specifically as an API method. The current solution is to follow the in_reply_to fields that the API sends back, stepping through the conversation as you go.. but unless you have the full streaming API this requires lots of calls to the REST api, and you'll get rate limited fairly soon. :-( S.

Link that I've shared should work for you, just take a note that it will work only for replied statuses. I know the ID of my status (tweet) which was reply to another one, so if we'll pass this ID to the call:http://search.twitter.com/search/thread/53014618771165184 Twitter will show you a conversation page, however sometimes it works strange. Does anybody know right way how to obtain conversation thread from the Twitter?

[twitter-dev] Search API: Can the geocode param only give me lat/long results?
Hi, I have a pre-question before my question. With the search API's geocode based search, if it falls back on the user's profile information does it use GPS positions in their profile or some location such as 'London'. The problem is that I need much greater precision than that. Thus, if I perform this search: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?geocode=51.53,-0.14,1mi Am I able to get results back that only contain lat/long values of the tweet? The json returned here has basically no values for 'geo'.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API: Can the geocode param only give me lat/long results?
Hi Augusto, Thanks for your reply. The problem with the Streaming API is that I'd have to have set some database app listening to the stream for the past few years to be able to get all the data (especially for remote locations). I also don't know where my users are going to be, so I don't have the ability to set any bounding boxes... I need something that I can search back in time, rather than set listening.. without knowing in advance where the users will be. Hence the need for the search API... S.

[twitter-dev] Determining if a tweet is a retweet from the search API
Hi, In the REST and Streaming API, if a tweet is an (official) retweet the data returned has a retweeted_status field. If I'm using the Search API this doesn't appear to be present. Is the only way to find out if a returned tweet is a retweet to look each tweet up in the REST API? If so, I'm going to get rate limited almost immediately here am I not?

[twitter-dev] Streaming API filter terms
Hi, I have a question about the streaming API. We're currently consuming the Spritzer stream, this is fine. However, if we use the filter with a keyword filter, let's say 'boats', does this give us just a subset of the spritzer stream or does it give 'boats' across the whole of Twitter? Saving CPU cycles isn't a problem, we can handle the stream, but we would like to get the most data we can around our filter keyword(s).

[twitter-dev] Re: Finding RT or replies
Thanks, that looks great. Is there something similar for replies? In the Streaming API there is a field which holds the ID of a status update which the current tweet is in reply to. Am I able to get these from the REST API at all? Thanks, S. On Dec 21 2010, 2:57 pm, Igor Kharin igorkha...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, Stu.
