Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
I'll be interested to hear when the API adds functionality that'll
allow us to retrieve *only* tweets with a geopoint! Any hints?
soon :P
In the meantime; copyied from the first post, what is going on with
tweets like this? :
{
* location: iPhone: 37.313690,-122.022911
* geo: null
}
{
* location: ÜT: 37.293106,-121.969004
* geo: null
}
Presumably this is some developer-implemented work around from a
client that geotagged tweets before the geotagging API was available,
by setting the profile location (where it normally says London, UK
etc.) to co-ords?
If so, I will just ignore it, as these should in theory become less
and less common as developers update their apps to use the official
geotagging method, but I want to be sure that I'm not missing some
crucially geotagged tweets!
yeah - that's precisely what's happening. i'm not sure what the first
client is, but the second is ubertwitter. instead of sending geotweets,
they are simply setting the user's profile location. my hope is that people
will transition soon!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
the geotagging API has only launched a few weeks ago, and there are only a limited number of clients that can use it. couple that with the fact that search does not return all the tweets and does disgard some tweets, you will have a low probability of finding a geotagged tweet - especially once you go to searching such a massive radius.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
that all being said, we will have some additions to other APIs that should make this easier -- we'll be announcing them soon.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
there is no way to search (yet) just for tweets that have been sent with the geotagging API through the search API. the geocode parameter in the search API takes into account the user's profile location, the geotagging API, and other heuristics to determine which tweets to return. 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. Thanks, Raffi, Im understaing it a little better now. But is there any way to search only among tweets that have geodata (tweets sent by the geotagging API)? Sorry if Im being too stupid here, but what I still dont understand is how the geo parameter in the search can work even with tweets that havent been geotagged. If there´s no geodata on those tweets, how come the search engine know they were sent from within the radius I searched?

Hi Raffi,
I am not seeing the geo data for this query:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?from=adityakothadiya or for
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=adityakothadiya
Where as adityakothadiya as a twitter user has enabled the geotagging
for his account. Can you suggest and tell if i am not using the api
correctly?
Thanks in advance,
Sushil

Hi Raffi,
our app (www.kirigo.com) currently fills thegeotag of status updates
- since we also want to extract this info from tweets from others, my
question is:
is thesearchthe only way to extract thegeocoordinates of a tweet?
I would rather been interested in the timeline and I can see from the
doc that the method statuses/public_timeline has a geo/ section - is
that implemented?
Thanks a lot for your time!

1) im not sure why I haven't seen any tweet with geo filed
included(I
go through more than 20 pages). Is this normal? Is that possible to
get only tweet with geo included?
2) if 1) won't work, I want to filter all the tweets with valid
location like the second one, therefore, I can push the tweet on
map.
Is the keyword also apply for the location? It's hard for the first
one cuz it doesn't have the detail address.
Thanks!
