Hi Guys,

I've few questions on topics trending nearby,
1. Trends are based on WOEID. Can we get the twitter trends based on
lat/long geo-coords ?
2. If 1 is not possible then, what is the best way to get the accurate
WOEID for a lat/long geo-coords ?
3. I tried http://api.twitter.com/version/trends/:woeid.format , which
gives only the topic name and a link to that page. How do I get some
more info from this call ?

I'm stuck here now, guys help is much appreciated.

Thank you all,
-dev.

Hi dev.at.twitter,

Yes, Local Trends are only available by one of the 42 currently supported WOEIDs (including "Worldwide"/WOEID==1).

However, the GET http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/available.json method will take a lat and long parameter set to return supported WOEIDs for a location (see the end of this message for a brief summary on WOEIDs we have trends for now).

Finally, the trends/:woeid call is meant to tell you what the current trends are, not to provide the actual tweets that make up that trend. Each trend in the array will have a name, a URL pointing to the search.twitter.com WEB UI (which can easily be munged into a Search API URL), and the actual query criteria that is considered part of the trend.

For finding WOEIDs for lat/longs that aren't necessarily reflected in Trending Topics, look here: http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/geoplanet/

I'm using http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/available.json to get the nearest topic trending area, and getting the list of topics trending.

Now I need at least 1-2 tweets for each topic ?
How do get it ?
Do I need to call 10 API's 1 for each topic ?

Thank you.

Can some one help get the latest tweets for each topic in single/multiple calls ?

Thanks,
