[twitter-dev] Search API: retrieve the number of times a particular URL was tweeted?

2011-03-22 Thread doug
The Facebook API has a FQL query that allows one to retrieve the number of Likes or Shares a particular URL got. I can certainly find a way to use the Twitter Search API to retrieve the raw statuses that mention a particular URL... but it seems like overkill when all I would like is the count...

Hi Doug, We don't have a search result counting API available at this time. One approach would be to prepare ahead of time and use the Streaming API's track filter on the URL you're interested in, keeping the stream open and counting tweets featuring your URL as it spreads on Twitter.
