[twitter-dev] Re: Issue with Search API 'show_user' URL parameter

[Matt Sanford]

Hi there,

    The show_user=true was only ever intended to work with atom feeds  
due to some feed readers not displaying the author. If you need this  
to work via JSON please file a ticket at http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/entry

Thanks;

I'm integrating Twitter's search api with a PHP based application. I'm
using the Search API in JSON format, and I found out that when i
specify 'show_user=true' in the url, <user> information does not get
returned in the response.

The request i'm making looks like this:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=soccer&show_user=true&rpp=100

And the response for each entry looks like:
{
"text":"About to warm up for soccer match.",
"to_user_id":null,
"from_user":"scooter42481",
"id":1312698600,
"from_user_id":2456152,
"iso_language_code":"en",

}

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks in advance.
