Re: [twitter-dev] Getting IP of user from Tweets
If user has provided permissions in that case which API method can provide me this information. Is it provided by new GEO functions created by Twitter. Can you please let me know the use of these functions also to get thte IP. Thanks.

Hi Zac, can you please suggest how I can use these two new URLs. I mean what are the parameters need to be passed. Thanks.

It's opt in and it requires the user use client that supports sending location data, but the accuracy is far greater then any kind of geo-ip lookup could offer.

Re: [twitter-dev] Getting IP of user from Tweets
Nope. There is no API to retrieve the IP address of a user.

Re: [twitter-dev] Getting IP of user from Tweets
Thanks!! Incidentally, the Firefox documentation says that Firefox doesn't store the retrieved location info anywhere, either on my client or on Mozilla servers. It's passing whatever it got from Google's service directly to Twitter. So we have essentially Google and Twitter and my ISP all talking to each other trying to figure out where I am and mostly getting it wrong. Out of the three options Twitter gave me, two were totally wrong and one was right only in the broadest sense - technically, my zip code matches. -- M.
