Suggestion: add the ability to list dweets by length

Lucas-C commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Today I was looking what were the shortest dweets ever made...

I had a look at the API and there doesn't seem to be a way to sort dweets by code length.

I'm willing to submit a PR to add this feature, but I'd like to know what you would consider to be the best approach here:

add an new route /dweet/shortest in dwitter/dweet/urls.py ?
add a query param to allow filtering on views.DweetViewSet based on this recipe: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39885624/636849 ?
add an endpoint to export all dweets as JSON, which woul allow anyone to perform the query they want on the data set without bloating the API ?

What do you think ?

There is a way...

Click the box sort length. It may take a few seconds to load because this contains every dweet (~12K)

Thanks! I'll close this for now then, but will keep it in mind if I update the API in the future
