Hi all.
i apologize if this question has been addressed, but i have been searching now for a few days and stil have had no joy.
i was using the old API and prompting client to place the search word through my CMS. then that was being dynamically rendered into the twitter stream,
however, now i am migrating across to the new API and implementing the timeline widgets instead.
the issue i sit with is that i dont want them to just copy and past the whole embed code and scrip tag, i want to just request the data-widget-id and then automatically render out there timeline based on that.
the problem i have with that is i cant seem to find some sort of way to validate that ID, i have been searching for callback function or some sort of OEmbed URL i can query to find out if it is valid or not?
for e.g with embedding youtube embedding i do a $.get(‘http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/’ + youtube_key + ‘?v=2&alt=json’)
that then gives me a success and error function. dose twitter offer some facility to do validation on the date-widget-id? or am i on the wrong path here?
Thanks so much for your help in advance.
