Hello!
As it have come to my understanding, some of the features of the twitter API is going obsolete/shut down by August 16, and I would like to ask/confirm if the current method in our application of searching for tweets on X twitter account will cease to work.
As I am not the person who have created the application, I’m not 100% fully aware of how everything works, but from what I can understand it is written in the Visual Basic programming language, and a request being sent to the twitter API looks as follows:
http://www.dig******.jp/workspace/twitter/twitter_api2.php?key=%23%e3%82%b9%e3%82%ab%e3%82%b5%e3%82%ab&count=30
(The * marks is censoring for the company’s safety)
By posting this in my web browser URL, I get 30 search responses used with a designated key(hashtag), and out of these responses the application grabs the name of the tweeter, the message and the tweet ID using Json.
I have read about authentication needs, count changing to results_per_page, e t c in the current Twitter API but I cannot find anything that resembles our currently used method, if anything is gonna change or cease to work by August 16, so I would like to know by the more knowledgeable users here what and if we have to do any changes to our current application for it work again by August 16.
I’m sorry if the information seems messy or unclear, but I’m basically asking about this on behalf of a Japanese colleague who does not understand English so good 
Many thanks!
Mattias
