Patch: Twitter Search API Support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Find a patch file attached to add support for searching Twitter via the 
API. See the following link:

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-Search-API-Method:-search

To search:
GetSearch(term[, since_id=None, per_page=15, page=1, lang="en"])

Also a simple function to filter the public timeline results by a keyword 
(locally):
FilterPublicTimeline(term[, since_id=None])

Let me know if anything needs to be changed/added for this to be accepted.

Thanks,
Gavin H.

I am looking forward to seeing Twitter Search API gets into python-twitter.

The patch works good. But it may run out of request quota very soon. The search
doesn't consume any quota, but there is a user search in the new method 
`GetSearch`,
per_page=15, then 15 quota used. Currently quota is 100, only took 7 queries to 
run
out, even with since_id, probably few more queries.

My patch includes two parameter. One is to switch user query, another is for
`show_user`, it was fixed in ghills' patch.

Also, I think the method name should be `Search`, or `GetSearchResults`.

the assignment of parameters['q'] in the patch I uploaded, should be 
parameters['q']
= term

Attached is the above mentioned patch,
with the additional support for geocode in search Api.
This is reflect both in the addition of a parameter
to GetSearch called geocode which should take the form
of a python tuple (latitude, longitude, radius_str), e.g:
 (37.775,-122.41833,'25km')
as well as the relevant 'location' property and getter/setter methods
for the Status object

Hi,

trying to run it like

import sys

tapi = twitter.Api()
searchresult = tapi.GetSearch("Projektmanagement")
print [s.id for s in searchresult]

.. and I do not get the latest tweets in my result. Any clue why?

Hi, Thomas

Sometimes Twitter has delay results (could be hours delay) from search, you can 
check
by searching on http://search.twitter.com/

Or manually get this http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Projektmanagement
to see if it is delayed.

Wow -the manual result http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Projektmanagement
works as expected and does not match

import sys
import twitter
tapi = twitter.Api()
searchresult = tapi.GetSearch("Projektmanagement")
print [s.id for s in searchresult]

where I get very old results.

Is it me?

TIA,

Thomas

bloody me - it's the language setting.

...
searchresult = tapi.GetSearch("Projektmanagement", lang="de")
...

does the trick ;-)

Are there any outstanding issues blocking this from being merged into trunk? I 
could
use this functionality, but rather than roll my own I'd prefer to help out if 
there's
work to be done :)

Is this patch against trunk, or against the branches/dclinton branch?  I try to 
keep the 
functionality between the two in sync, but honestly I'd rather cut the trunk 
over to the 
dclinton branch and just invest in that one.  But I haven't heard enough 
feedback from 
people one way or the other to make a determination yet.  Thoughts?

Hello..

This patches aren't ignoring properties from twitter search api like next_page,
completed_in and refresh_url?

I've coded search support myself and I created a SearchResult class. This class 
has a
list of results (Status object) and this 3 properties.

I was wondering why there is such a delay with the out of the search. Is it a
limitation they put on the API for developers. When I search for terms it takes 
in
statuses from an hour ago, while the search on twiiter returns completely 
different
status which are more recent. Please any help or edits we can do to the current 
code
I would be more than willing to code, just point me in the right direction. 
Here is
the code I have now.
