Hello Stan,

Sorry my english.

I'm interested in your API, but, do you have an example on how i've to
handle your &stream=yes in javascript?

Do i need to install node.js server or similar?

Thank you,

Hi Elies!

A Streaming mechanism as proposed by our current API is not really well suited for a client side javascript use.

Still, there are solutions out there (our API is very close to Twitter Streaming API):

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3312616/utilizing-twitters-streaming-api-w-jquery

- http://mehack.com/twitter-streaming-api-from-javascript-with-a

Nevertheless, this is a perfectly valid request. 

So I'll try to find some cycles to add a "last" parameter that would:

- return you all the results since "last" if any

- make you wait otherwise

That would allow you to implement a long-polling mechanism (much more mainstream for client javascript)

Cheers,

-stan
