With the twitter search API you can request "only original tweets" or "only retweets".
If you are requesting "everything", how can you determine for each result which one is a RT and which one is not ? If this is a RT, how can I know who the original author is ?
Am I missing an option to make the API add some "retweet information" to status results ?
Retweets should have retweeted_status and inside it the user object.

Looking at https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/ I have gathered that calling https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN will return "the most recent media published by the owner of the access_token."
In sandbox mode I understand that I will receive a maximum of 20 media items from this call. I also realize that the response code has a pagination object that I can use to retrieve up to 20 more media items (see below)
"pagination": {
"next_max_tag_id": "1387272337517",
"deprecation_warning": "next_max_id and min_id are deprecated for this endpoint; use min_tag_id and max_tag_id instead",
"next_max_id": "1387272337517",
"next_min_id": "1387272345517",
"min_tag_id": "1387272345517",
"next_url": "https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/cats/media/recent?access_token=xxx&max_tag_id=1387272337517"
}
These are the listed parameters of this Request.
PARAMETERS
ACCESS_TOKEN A valid access token.
MAX_ID Return media earlier than this max_id.
MIN_ID Return media later than this min_id.
COUNT Count of media to return.
My question is: Is there a way to structure my GET request in a way that returns all media items from a single call? I understand that this is not possible in sandbox mode, given a user with more than 20 media items. If possible please provide a detailed explanation of the COUNT parameter.
I imagine a possible GET request would look like https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN?COUNT=X
Thank you. <3
When you go live mode you can use the count= param to get more than 20 in one API call, however I have noticed that count=33 is the maximum you can get for this API call, even if you anything more than 33, it only returns 33.
You still have to use the pagination in JSON response to get the next set of media items, easiest way is to use the pagination.next_url to make API call and get next set of media items
i have this code
("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=".$twitteruser.'&count=500'
But it is giving me only 200 records , I found in twitter document that it will give 3200 tweets.Is i am doing wrong what should i do to get that much tweet.
Since there is no page system in twitter 's API, to go throught timelines, you must use the "max_id" parameter.
Here is an helpful link that explains how to work with timelines with nice illustrations: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/timelines.
Edit: here is how you do it.
"To use max_id correctly, an application’s first request to a timeline endpoint should only specify a count."
Make your request "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=".$twitteruser.'&count=500 (you can put 200).
Then when you get all your data, " keep track of the lowest ID received" and use it as parameter (the same way you do for the count) for your next request. it will give you the 200 next posts with a lower id than the one you specified. Do it again until you reach the end.
I'm using the REST API (venues platform) to get a list of the top 5 venues per destination and category, like they are listed in the search results on the foursquare website.
For example i do the following request using the explore api endpoint:
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/explore?near=zurich,CH&query=College %26 University
I'm using the apias a not authenticated. I do not pass a radius, to get the default radius.
Now the results from the api is as follows:
1. ETH Hönggerberg HIL
2. Technopark
3. Kantonsschule Stadelhofen
4. Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, Departement Musik
5. Klubschule Migros
When i search on the Foursquare Website as follow (not logged in!):
https://foursquare.com/explore?near=Zurich%2C%20CH&q=College%20%26%20University
I get the following results listed on the website:
1. SBB Digital
2. Technopark
3. ETH Hönggerberg HIL
4. EF Education First
5. Klubschule Migros
Is it possible to get the same list, as shown on the website (in the same order) also from the api? If yes? how can i do that? how do i call the api or how do i have to sort the results from the api to get the same list?
First i tried to sort the api results by the rating field, but that doesn't do the trick at all. Because in this example no one of the first 30 results does have any rating.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Make sure you are making the explore request with the same user account as on the web. Also, it looks like your queries do not match up exactly. One is "College & University and the other is "college" - try matching up the queries and seeing if the results change.
Well meanwhile i got the answer from foursquare.
The trick is very simple: just have to add the following parameters to the api call: time=any and day=any.
Then you get the results ordered exactly the same way as on the foursquare webpage (when not authenticated).
Thank you david from foursquare! :-)
Querying user data on Facebook Graph via the Javascript API will not return all fields.
For example, the following query:
/search?q=David Blades&type=user&fields=location,work,id,name,picture,link
Returns everything except work and location.
Does anybody know the reason why?
Because these fields are not publicly available, please refer to the User object:
Name Permission
id No access_token required
name No access_token required
...
location user_location or friends_location
Im wondering if there is anyway to interogate facebook data on user interests. i.e. Retrieve the following data sets:
What are the most like interests/Pages on facebook?
Retreive the current users facebook interest and also their friends interests?
Really want to know if we can get facebook global interest/like data and than also if the user connects their facebook account to the site than we can also retrieve their interest data.
Thanks in advance
So you want to implement something like http://www.socialbakers.com/ ?
To get 1) you'd have to periodically poll the API for the public fan count of a known set of page IDs to see the current fan counts ( i think this is what socialbakers do)
To get 2, get the user_likes and friend_likes extended permissions from your users and access the /likes connection of the users whose likes you want to read
Yes you can retrieve user interests from facebook. You just need to include the user_interests permission required in your jsp page.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
If you are using spring social you can generate your own url for /me/interests:
URIBuilder uriBuilder1 = URIBuilder.fromUri(facebook.GRAPH_API_URL + "me" +"/interests");
String s = facebook.restOperations().getForObject(uriBuilder1.build(), String.class);
