Question

How to use the twitter geo api.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Ever since the geoapi shut down, it has been pretty much integrated with the twitter api. The json returned by twitter GET statuses also returns a geo key in the dictionary and geo_enabled key as well.

Here's what you can do to authorize and receive updates via oauth and twitter api (python code)-

from twitter import Twitter
from twitter.oauth import OAuth

def get_feeds(screenName):
    twitter = Twitter(auth=OAuth('', '', CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET))
    statuses = twitter.statuses.user_timeline(screen_name=screenName, include_entities=1, include_rts=True)
    print "Got Status"
    return statuses
