I’m unsure of the category to place this under so apologies if it’s incorrect…
I’m attempting to use twitter as a voting platform for a set of TV voting competitions where I need to count the number of tweets of a hashtag. As far as I understand I could use the REST API to do a search but it would be difficult to limit it to a time frame or I can use the streaming API and receive all the tweets for only one hashtag.
Is there a better way to get a real-time count of say 5 hashtags tweeted?
Thanks
