The challenge with using Twitter to monitor these kinds of things is that people use a variety of relevant terms–some official, some folksonomic, some just random relevant words. One of the specific ways that geocoded Twitter searches get used is during emergencies and weather events.
Twitter search codes how to#
The Working with Timelines documentation is a rich and illustrative tutorial to learn how to use these parameters to achieve the best efficiency and reliability when processing result sets.Example: Tweets about Hurricane Sandy in Vermont Iterating in a result set: parameters such count, until, since_id, max_id control iteration through search results, since it could be a large set of Tweets.Language: the lang parameter restricts Tweets to the given language.When conducting geo searches, the search API will first attempt to find Tweets which have lat/long within the queried geocode, and in case of not having success, it will attempt to find Tweets created by users whose profile location can be reverse geocoded into a lat/long within the queried geocode, meaning that is possible to receive Tweets which do not include lat/long information.
Geolocalization: the search operator “near” isn’t available in the API, but there is a more precise way to restrict your query by a given location using the geocode parameter specified with the template “latitude,longitude,radius”, for example, “37.781157,-122.398720,1mi”.Result Type: just like /search results, the result_type parameter selects whether the result set will be represented by recent or popular Tweets, or even a mix of both.The GET search/tweets documentation has detailed information about the usage of the parameters, this section will only give a brief description of their capabilities: There is a set of additional parameters that allows a better control of the search results. Note that the space character can be represented by “%20” or “+” sign. The table below shows some example mappings from search queries to URL encoded queries: Search query There are several online tools to help you to do that, or you can search at /search and copy the encoded URL from the browser’s address bar. Please, make sure to URL encode these queries before making the request. Sent from a Twitter account in the NASA list astronauts-in-space-nowĪ Tweet authored in reply to Twitter account Twitter account “NASA”.Ĭontaining “puppy” and an image or video.Ĭontaining “puppy”, filtering out retweetsĬontaining “puppy” and an uploaded video, Amplify video, Periscope, or Vine.Ĭontaining “puppy” and a Periscope video URL.Ĭontaining “puppy” and links identified as photos, including third parties such as Instagram.Ĭontaining “puppy” and a link representing one or more photos.Ĭontaining “hilarious” and linking to URL.Ĭontaining “puppy” and a URL with the word “amazon” anywhere within it.Ĭontaining “superhero” and sent since date “” (year-month-day).Ĭontaining “puppy” and sent before the date “”.Ĭontaining “movie”, but not “scary”, and with a positive attitude.Ĭontaining “flight” and with a negative attitude.Ĭontaining “traffic” and asking a question.

The query can have operators that modify its behavior. If you need historical data odler than seven days, check out the premium and enterprise search APIs. Note that the standard search API only serves data from the last week. Please note that the API requires that the request be authenticated (check Authentication & Authorization documentation for more details on this). Run a Twurl command to execute the search.We want to search for Tweets referencing account.
As you get a satisfactory result set, the URL loaded in the browser will contain the proper query syntax that can be reused in the standard search API endpoint. The best way to build a standard query and test if it’s valid and will return matched Tweets is to first try it at /search.
