Hi everyone, my name is Iago and I have a question related to the number of results that the TW API gives. Maybe you experienced this issue too.

I’m using the search API in order to retrieve all the tweets for the last day in given geolocation coordinates and radius.

For this, I’m using the search API v1.1 with the following parameters:
/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=&since=13-01-2020&geocode=42.23410994934635,-8.72039794800469,0.5km

Parameters:
q:
since:13-01-2020
geocode:42.23410994934635,-8.72039794800469,0.5km

The GPS coordinates correspond to the city center of Vigo, it’s a Spanish city with a population of 300k people.
The issue is that with these parameters, the response we get is 0 results.

So it’s impossible that there are no tweets for a certain day in the city. If I use other locations, I managed to get 1, 2 maybe 10 tweets which is irrealistic.

I also have a premium account, and I tested this also with the premium account and the results are similar. 1, 2 maybe 10 tweets at least.

Is there any way to get all the recent tweets for a certain geolocation?
Do you also encounter this issue?

Thanks

There are very few tweets with exact geo coordinates, so it’s very likely to have 0 results. Also twitter removed exact Geo from the app, except for photos, so the there’s even fewer tweets now.

Instead, using place: might give you more results in premium Operators by product | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform
