I am interested in checking for tweets within a 300mi radius of Detroit with the query tigers. Here is the link I have been using for my python program:
DetroitTigersURL='http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=tigers&rpp=100&lang=en&geocode=42.42,83.02,300mi&'
...which only returns about 15 tweets, 13 of which are from a guy in Kazakhstan.
and here's that same search using Twitter's built in advanced search: https://twitter.com/search?q=%22tigers%22%20near%3A%22Detroit%22%20within%3A300mi&src=typd
...with plenty of fresh tweets ripe for the picking. A little help please?
Sorry for one of these kinds of answers, but it appears to be an issue with the
geocodeAPI parameter. See the following links for somewhat related discussions:
