I'm attempting to stream Tweets from the UK as a whole(filtering further with tracking words), using Twitters stream API, however I'm having trouble with my bounding box.
The LAT/LON pairs I'm using to define a bounding box of the whoe UK(Ire included) is as follows. -9.05, 48.77, 2.19, 58.88 However when I try to use this with the Twitter stream API, it states the following error message. Location track must be less than 1 degrees on a side: LocationTrack(48.77,-9.05,58.88,2.19) I can't imagine that Twitter do not allow you a specify a bounding box that covers an area that crosses between the negative/positive LAT. Am I missing something here, or would this mean that Twitter only allow you to stream if you are in the Wester hemishphere, effectively? If anyone has a suggest as to how I might be able to over-come this, I'd be very interested in hearing you out.
