Hi.
I’m using the PHP Twitter search API and I am running into a few issues.
Issue #1
I am able to make a query searching for posts with hashtags, and I am able to exclude certain terms such as cuss words, or random things like “www.” or “http://” (because I don’t want any results with URLs in them).
However, it seems that if I have too many exclusions or rules, it does not allow me to run the query. That’s fine - because in that case, I can just ask for a larger amount of results and filter them out using PHP if it’s not already in my query to exclude certain things.
However - it seems that randomly, it keeps decreasing the number of search terms (or in my case, negative search terms) that I can use before it just craps out.
Anybody experience this?
Issue #2
I want to be able to show random results - not necessarily the latest and greatest results. Anyone know how to pull random results or how to simulate random results? I’m sure I could figure out how to simulate a random result page but I’m looking for better options.
