Geolocation?

    Hi Martin,

    First of all, I love the plugin! It is the best plugin I have come across for working with the Twitter API.

    However, is there a way I can pull in tweets using geolcation i.e. tweets from USA only. I had come across a few different approaches in the search api documentation but was unsure of how to implement this using the plugin (shortcode).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    Danny

    You need to use the search functionality.

    The simplest way to do this is to go to twitter.com/search-advanced and experiment until you find a search that gives you the results you want.

    You’ll end up with something like fish near:"United Kingdom" within:15mi
    which you can put into the widget or into your shortcode as

    search='fish near:"United Kingdom" within:15mi'

    Make sure that the quotes inside and outside your search are different!

    Hi Martin,

    I tried what you had suggested, however, I received the following error:

    Problem retrieving data from Twitter
    Twitter error code: 44 – near parameter is invalid.

    Hi Martin,

    I managed to get it working. The search operator “near” isn’t available in API as described here: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/search

    The solution was to use the geocode parameter as shown below:

    search='fish geocode:37.781157,-122.398720,1mi'

    Thanks for your help 🙂 and a great plugin

    Regards
