Hello.
I am using GET search/tweets(REST API v1.1) to search for tweets within a specific area as below and I am having some issues:
q=&geocode=51.5171,0.1062,5000mi&count=100&since_id=’+(CALCULATED ID)
Issues:
- Most of the tweets have geocode as null so I am getting the location of the tweet(not the exact) by
a) if tweet.place is not null then tweet.place.full_name. In most tweets tweet.place is null.
b) If the above fails(=null) tweet.user.location.
Why most of the tweets have tweet.place as null? In a rate of 500 returned tweets I can only get location info for only 50-60. Is there any other way to get location of the tweet?
-
Having specified the radius of the search at 5000 miles, the search is restricted only to a short distance of the specified longitude and latitude and not at 5000 miles.
-
I haven’t specified any value for the search query ‘q’ as I want all tweets happening at real time.
It works but I want to know if there is any other more efficient way to succeed my search.
Thank you.
