Errors when making basic search API requests on Windows

[CO_developer]

I’ve installed and authenticated twurl on a Windows 10 Home, 64-bit operating system. I’m using PowerShell to run commands. When I use twurl to access the search API it doesn’t seem that I’m able to have more than one parameter in the query. Anything after the ampersand isn’t read properly and I get errors.

For example:

twurl "/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=nasa&result_type=popular"

This returns 15 tweets in JSON format but at the end of the JSON response it has:

'result_type' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

When I look at the JSON response, the recent_type of the tweet objects returned is not “popular” but instead “recent”. The same thing happens if I replace result_type with count:

twurl "/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=nasa&count=1"

Whatever I have after the “&” isn’t read properly. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Hello,

I am unable to reproduce that on MacOS. The command twurl "/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=snow&result_type=popular" behaves as expected.

Does the behavior change if you use single quotes? twurl '/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=nasa&result_type=popular'

Hopefully someone here is also using Windows 10 and PowerShell and can share their experience.
