Hashtags don't work #1

Closed henrahmagix closed 11 years ago

henrahmagix commented 11 years ago

Hello Henry! I've been looking for a way to count tweets for certain hashtag, for a similar project like this one: http://www.digitalbuzzblog.com/volkswagen-fox-twitter-zoom-campaign/ (the more the tweets with certain hashtag, the more zoomed location until a certain goal)

In certain forums people say that there is no "native api" way to do the hashtag counts, other recommend a service like topsy (not free by the way), hashtracking.com (in closed beta now), and so on, but your solution is the closest code I need... I tried but it seems that doesn't work for tags... in http://jsfiddle.net/a7HCw/ I put your code but if I try #vertice24 the result is 15 tweets (same as vertice24 without the #) but in the twitter search page I found 20... What could be wrong?

Best regards

Daniel Gutierrez

This was happening because the total number of tweets wasn't being updated with the last page's results.
