Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is authentication required to use Streaming API?
Basically: sample will send you 1% of all tweets that are sent. ;-) However: I believe that you will want to use filter.json. Taylor forgot to mention that filter.json is also free to use. Sample URL which uses filter : http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?track=Twitter Tom On 10/7/10 9:10 PM, D.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is authentication required to use Streaming API?
Real time tracking is best done with Streaming, but can be done with Search. Historical search back in time is done only with Search and only covers the indexed tweets that Twitter makes available. "Long-term" historical search can be done with Topsy, but I'm not familiar with the details. -- M.

Which API should I use Streaming or Search? What I want is to monitor Twitter and every time someone uses certain words (maybe a total of about 20 words that I want to monitor continuously), I want to show the tweet on the screen (or record it into database) Should I use search api or streaming api?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is authentication required to use Streaming API?
Hi D, There are a few different levels of the streaming API. You can use the sample endpoint without any kind of approval from Twitter, using a Twitter account under your control for login. Access beyond the sample end point requires approval -- the process for approval begins at http://twitter.com/help/request_streaming When getting familiar with the streaming API it's best to take a crawl -> walk -> run approach. "Crawling" is using the sample stream, "walking" is moving up to garden hose, and "running" is going beyond. Taylor On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 10:26 AM, D.
