Request: Search hash tags [fixed: available in release 2013-06-17]

[Anthony_F]

I'd like to request a feature:

Searching for hashtags. There is no need for loggin in but I'm sure the same functionality can be used. Open Search Close.

Documentation: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search

Example:

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23usrp

You get back a JSON object but it shouldn't be too hard to parse through.

Something like this. I'm sure things will change if you are actually logged in via oauth, for my purposes I didn't need it.

Hey Anthony_F,

Adding a search function is a great idea! I think we will add API version 1.1 of the function which now does require authentication of the user: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/search/tweets

We need to go through and update all the methods to v1.1 so we will add a search function at that time.

Thanks!

Yep, they just depreciated v1.0 API, no more anonymous searches. Waiting for the next version!

Hi Anthony_F,

As a heads-up a new version of the Twitter Toolkit has been released that uses Twitter API v1.1 and includes the ability to search twitter using an authenticated account. The features are available in Twitter release 2013-06-17 and can be downloaded on the homepage.
