[twitter-dev] Re: help me plz quiry speed and geocode
my goal is to plott the long and lat of posts on twitter in real time,
i have got this working but it seems to be very slow.
im using the stream api to do this
im justing pulling off the json quiry the post and the geocode, when i
just pull the post without the geocode it runs like a dream, very fast
but as soon as a try to pull the lat and long it pulls in one post and
then stops its strange because there is nothing wrong with my
processing script that i can see, and the json quiry looks like its
working fine also.

Any standard Twitter API is rate-limited except Streaming API
(Firehost). However Streaming API must be approved by Twitter
manually.
If radius cap is 100 miles, it should cover most metropolitan area
size. In some areas you may not get enough tweets for 200 miles
diameter to show sufficient Tweet results in real time or search
terms.

[twitter-dev] Re: help me plz quiry speed and geocode
how do you get tweets from all over? I thought they were limited to up
to 1000 mile radius?
can you give a summary of your goal. It seems like doing it real time
would be impossible (if you want to capture every tweet around the
world)
I am working on a geo mashup with tweets and google maps using Flash.
It is working ok but the limitations are the 100 cap on results and
the radius cap of 100 miles.
it sounds like you must be hitting the rate limitation on the API. im
not sure what it is on the authenticated status filter. did you try
the search API?
