I have a profile picture and I would like to know how I can find the user only using the profile picture.
I also know one person that that user if following but there are 24k thousand others following that person.
I was wondering whether there is a command that can cycle through all those 24,000 followers and reverse image search for my profile picture.
On the image part, there isn't support in the Twitter API for that. However, here's how you can approach the problem. Assuming you have the ID of the user whose followers you're scanning, use the Followers endpoint. Make sure you've specified the profile_image_url in the user.fields parameter. You can use that to download the URL with the user's profile image.
After that, you have to build your own image recognition model that takes two images and produces a probability of how similar they are. You have to take care of this part yourself.
BTW, please go through the Stack Overflow Tour. It explains how this site works and has tips on how to ask a good question and where to learn more. As written, your question probably won't get many answers because it's pretty broad, doesn't include the technology you're using and doesn't have an example of what you've tried. That makes it really difficult to answer. Anyway, please review the tour and read more of the docs and I guarantee you'll be glad you did for any future questions.

It's crazy i can't find any documentation on this subject. I found some old stackoverflow posts that references a pixel link like this
//www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/XXXXXXX/?label=YYYYYYY&guid=ON&script=0
This is fine but I can't find any documentation about what other params i can put there.. I am interested in appending the gclid there but i am not even sure it will be read or if it needs to have another name..
Before you ask: We do not want to install any kind of 3rd party js. We want to be able to track only the signup conversion for our google ads campaing and as far as i understand it is possible with pixel, but i cannot find any documentation.
Can you please help me with documentation or an alternative?
I'm helping develop an online ordering process for a local business, and they are offering food delivery to their location from specific partnered restaurants. The problem we're looking to solve is making the experience as smooth as possible for the user, so we're aiming to fill out these specific data fields to make the process smoother. They have QR codes on their tables, that link directly to their websites ordering page, from there the user can select from a few local restaurants, and are linked to their online ChowNow menus.
Does anyone have any experience using ChowNow, and knows if there is any way to pass off specific delivery instructions to ChowNow, specifically an address, from the link provided to the users from the QR code on their table?
We haven't found anything too helpful on this problem from ChowNow's official documentation or support. There are alternate ways that we have in mind to solve this problem if need be, but this is the desired solution from the client, and we would like to have stick with this method if possible.
So I am writing a rails application for my friends food truck business.
The functionality that I am trying to create with this specific application is the ability for him to update the google map by posting a Geo-location tag on twitter.
A lot of the ruby gems that deal with google maps seem to be depreciated so I'm a bit lost at the moment. If anyone could just point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.
I realize that this feature is just a quality of life feature but id like to be able to do it with embedded ruby and not have to break out the JavaScript (ugh). Ideal this kind of automation would be great for this particular type of website because my friend won't always have access to the back-end of the website when he is on the move. (Already able to update a map from an admin backend but its not good enough for a business that moves multiple places in a given day.)
anyways, thanks in advance. (if anyone wants me to post any of my code I will.)
So after reading your question, I thought it would be fun to tinker with the Twitter API again since I haven't used it in a while.
I went ahead and created a sample application for you that basically does what you were asking for. It looks for recent tweets from a user, grabs the latest one, then updates a Google map with a marker on that location.
Keep in mind that this was quickly thrown together, so it's far from perfect. But all the concepts should be there!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the app or anything else. I'm always happy to help.
In my app so far, I have to implement all the Twitter posts from a certain individual into a table view, and it automatically updates when the person tweets a certain post. Is it possible to mention a certain individual e.g. #John.. If it is possible, how can I do it? If not just let me know and I will delete this question as it could be too ambitious. Thanks!
I don't quite understand what you mean. I do a little!
There is a quick and easy way of doing this! One easy way is to use Twitters own SDK called Fabric. See Here
See this link for the timeline stuff and integration to your app Documentation
This should help you out!
P.S. Let me know how you get on!
I am trying to get a full list of a user's tweets. I do not particularly care what order they come in, but I need all of them, including what the user has ReTweeted. Essentially, I would like to have status/retweeted_by_me, but for specified user.
Is this at all possible?
This was addressed recently by the Twitter devs. You can now add a include_rts=true to your call to user_timeline. See the full discussion here: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/7a4be385ff549ed0
Nope. Twitter's API leaves a lot to be desired (especially in terms of actual RESTfulness), but this particular issue is also my biggest gripe with it. You can only get your own retweets, but not the retweets of others. Look at any Desktop Twitter client, and compare a user's timeline in there with the actual timeline on the web. The latter contains all the retweets. This has been a big problem ever since they introduced the new retweets, and in my opinion is one of the reasons why acceptance of new-style RTs is slower than it could be among Twitter users. I've tried to make #twitterapi aware of the issue but never got a reply; maybe you (and anyone reading this) could do the same thing.
Their argument regarding BC is, of course, utter nonsense. It does not break BC at all, since these retweets never showed up in the first place. And even if they did, a ?retweets=true query argument would be enough to fix that. I really have no clue why they're not implementing this; their own website shows the retweets fine already, they just need to expose it in the API.
