Hello,

I want to develop a web-based application that will search for the
most favorited tweets for a given hashtag. For example, a user may
type "cerati" in a textbox and the application will return the tweets
that contain the hashtag #cerati and have been favorited more than x
(3, 4, 5) times.

My questions are:
- Is this possible?
- If so, what method should I use?

It appears to me that if I use the search API I don't get a
favourite_count among the results. And I can't specify something like
"minimum amount of times tweet was favorited" as a parameter.

Or maybe I can use the search API to get the tweets that contain the
hashtag and then iterate thorugh the list to obtain the number of
times each tweet was favorited?

Another alternative: instead of doing this with the public timeline
(ideal solution) do it for all tweets by the users a person is
following. Can this be done?

Thanks for your help.

Gustavo
