[twitter-dev] Deleting tweets tracked by keyword

2010-02-17 Thread dbasch
I'm using the stream API to track tweets by keyword (filter). According to the documentation, Streams may also contain status deletion notices. Clients are urged to honor deletion requests and discard deleted statuses immediately. When I try creating and deleting tweets. I always get the new

I tried your query and got a timeout. My guess is that it's just a very expensive query to compute because of the large radius. It seems to work fine with a smaller radius. Diego On Dec 18, 3:25 am, praveenkumar nakka nakka.praveenku...@gmail.com wrote: Hai, I was using search API to get

It's not the underscore. These queries work: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Ajamie_oliver http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Adavid_henrie This particular one doesn't: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Athe_hindu to:the_hindu does work. Just speculating, but perhaps

Periods and parentheses are valid url characters. Assuming that an adjacent period or closing parenthesis is not part of the url is a gamble. The most sensible urlification includes all valid characters until it finds one that clearly delimits the url such as a space.

Many people use UberTwitter from their phone and also tweet from the web or a desktop client. UT updates the profile location with GPS data but the browser doesn't. If the source of the tweet is UT chances are the location is accurate, otherwise it's probably old. If you desperately need to pin as

 if you are only looking for tweets that use the geotagging API, then do some post processing to find a tweet with a populated geo field. The only way to do this right now is to hammer the search API, because tweets with a populated geo field are needles in a haystack. I've done this for a

Hi Fabien, Just a thought in case you haven't considered it: be careful not to get caught in an infinite loop. There are bots that listen to keywords and reply to you. Someone may trigger a situation like that by making you echo such keywords, either maliciously or by accident. Diego On Dec 8,

not that I know of.  you could, conceivably, stroll through all the followers of a particular user, gather their number of followers, and then gather their followers and wash, lather, rinse, repeat. It would be easier to do it the other way around. Start picking random users and see how they
