Twitter API for popular tweets - api

Is their any Twitter API that can be accessed without authentication for -
1.) post by user and users Followers that are being Tweeted/re-twitted the most
and
2.) users tweets that users followers have clicked on or re-twitted the most
Any kind of help will be appreciated.

According the the API v1 docs, this is possible, by including result_type=popular in the query string of your request.
For example, if you wanted to search for popular tweets relating to the search term popular tweets, your request would be as follows:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=popular%20tweets&result_type=popular

can i get replies for a certain tweet using codebird in php?

can i get replies for a certain tweet using codebird in php?
iam trying to get any inserted tweet replies by its ID. is there a way?!
thank you
\Codebird\Codebird::setConsumerKey($ConsumerKey, $ConsumerSecret);
$cb = \Codebird\Codebird::getInstance();
$cb->setToken($AccessToken, $AccessTokenSecret);
In the legacy standard Twitter API v1.1 there's no way to easily find replies to a Tweet. The v2 Twitter recent search API does provide the ability to search for Tweets by "conversation ID" (i.e. the ID of the parent Tweet), but at the time of posting this response to your question, Codebird does not support v2.

Instagram API - Is it possible to search for a users hashtag posts

Is it possible to search all posts with a specific hashtag by a certain user?
I am new to development and I am trying out Instagram's API if I can search such combination.
It is possible, but not using only a single request to Instagram's API. There are two solutions:
Search for posts by given hashtag's name using GET /tags/{tag-name}/media/recent request and then manually check every post if its user is the user you want.
Search for posts by specific user using GET /users/{user-id}/media/recent request and then manually check every post if its tags array contains the specific hashtag you want.
I would recommend to choose the solution in which you can expect less results (posts) to filter. In most cases it means the second one, because there is more posts on Instagram with a specific hashtag than an average user share on its Instagram's accout.
You can test Instagram's API requests with Instagram's API Console: http://instagram.com/developer/api-console/

Twitter - Stream vs GET search

What is the main differences between "annonymous" GET search and "authorized" stream search of tweets? What about limitations? Which method is more suitable for searching tweets with concrete entities (expanded_url)?
Also is there any reason why should I use OAuth authentification? I mean this script: http://dmacias.org/2010/12/31/playing-around-with-twitter-api-using-tweepy/
With an OAuth link to a user, you can see a user's private tweets as well as their public tweets. OAuth is also needed to post tweets. If all you're interested in doing is looking at people's public tweets, then OAuth is not needed.

Get tweet from the user?

What is the best way to get twitts from the user on iPhone. Is it possible to get twitts with help of search twitter API? twitter search api doc
I need load more than 20 twitts.
Tweets are returned from Twitter's servers in JSON format. There are a half-dozen JSON libraries for cocoa, all very good.
Fetching tweets can be done using a simple URL request, for unauthenticated tweet data (e.g. users tweets are public). e.g. http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=sn00ki&include_entities=true
Or if you need access to tweets that might be private, you are going to have to log in, probably using OAuth. I would suggest a twitter library. MGTwitterEngine, for example.
If you can go iOS 5 only, you can use the new built in Twitter Framework

Question about twitter api

I want to create a simple Twitter application, but I have a problem. I want to show the user information about his followers, but this requires one API request to get a list of all user IDs following him, and then many additional API requests to get the user information corresponding to the user IDs that were just fetched. Is it possible to get user info for many followers in one request?
Use the Followers method:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers.xml (Twitter API Documenation)
It returns detailed information about each follower.
