using Collecta API in ConceptWords

[amit]

Hi all,

I have created a website 'conceptwords' (http://www.conceptwords.com)
for English learners (ESL/EFL ) to understand the concept behind
words, hence concept words. Besides giving definition entries as most
dictionary sites do, I have included additional tools to help grasp
the meanings easily.

It includes:
1. visual explorer
2. Video with captions/subtitles for easy learning
3. Live Tweets
4. Real time posts aggregated from Collecta

For 4, I have used Collecta API to list all the recent post in the web
related to a particular word the user has searched for. I am
wondering if there's a way to scroll all the recently updated posts.
Collecta allows only play/pause and removes the old ones as new ones
arrive.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Regards,
Amit

It looks like you are currently using the Collecta Widget (from widget.collecta.com) It doesnt support scrolling back through archived messages, (however there is a some limited scroll back available as of recently)

You can use the Collecta API directly if you would like to pull from our archive, if you need any help with setting that up please take a look at the developer docs at http://develioper.collecta.com and if you have any questions this group is the best place to ask
