Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Return Public Timeline Tweets based on Geo Location
Hey Bess, The Streaming API doesn't support places but it does support 1-degree latitude and longitude boxes. We've provided examples of each Streaming API parameter in the docs. For location filtering you can see the example here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#locations For restricting the Search API to a place you can use the 'place' parameter. For example, to search for Tweets from Twitter HQ (place ID: 247f43d441defc03) I would use this query: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=place%3A247f43d441defc03 Hope that helps, Matt On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 6:02 PM, Bess wrote: > You are welcome.

You are welcome. Glad it works for you. It would be nice to see example of using Stream API using location. Anyone can offer example code in using Twitter Places? narrow down specific geo location?

Bess and Tom, Thanks for the responses. The search method seemed to work best for me. I appreciate the quick responses.

[twitter-dev] Re: Return Public Timeline Tweets based on Geo Location
You can use Twitter Search API to filter or limit the GEO location. within range from 1 to 1000 in units of mi or km near:"San Francisco" within:1000mi Twitter search string http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=37.775196,-122.419204,1000.0mi&q=+near:%22San+Francisco%22+within:1000mi You can see it use geocode latitude and longitude, use near filter for places and use within filter as diameter range. You can use string to construct your search query to adjust your search results. I have used this several times in a few mobile apps. It works well.
