I need to approve/reject tweets from my Twitter feed, and display on our website. Any websites out there that will provide this functionality?
I've looked into TidyTweet.com, but I can't tell if they support the kind of "feed" we have (it's actually a json search, not an RSS feed).
For example, this is our "feed":
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Downtown+Chicago
Twitterfeed already provides an interface for that. Click on edit->advanced you should see filter tweets.
Another alternative is filtering from the feed itself, you can do this from Yahoo Pipes

I've had a look at the following link - https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines within Twitter. It says you can display your timeline, favorites, lists but not the tweets from the people you're following.
Essentially when you first log into Twitter, I want to show those tweets - the tweets from people I'm following on my website.
Or is there a way to automatically add people we're following to a list? So I can then display that list?
Can it be done? If so, how?
I don't think you can achieve this with embedded timelines but you can achieve it by using the REST API. The link below gives details on how to do this. Your request will then return a json string of the latest tweets of people you follow. You can format this then display it
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/home_timeline
http://isitold.com/ somehow determines when a link/url was first tweeted. I can't seem to figure out how to do this with the twitter api, does anybody know?
I'd like to use when a link was first tweeted in a time decay function in my app.
You can search tweets with this link using the Twitter Search API to retrieve the oldest tweet possible.
Seems like twitter does not provide historical tweets (search api will not work).
You can get access to historical tweet information with a service like Topsy http://www.topsy.com http://code.google.com/p/otterapi/ (api on topsy).
I have written Who Tweeted It First using YQL and JS to find the oldest tweet for any topic. It is essentially scraping data from the Twitter search page as the official API doesn't return the previous tweets.
How do I know if a specific twitter user is currently online by writing programs? Is there any API or data field in the web page showing this information? Both browsing Twitter webpage and using Twitter app are considered "online".
Although this information is not readily available, you can do a work around. Make use of Twitter's Streaming API: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/streams/public (have a read through this document).
You'll most likely be using the POST Statuses/filter functionality (read the doc here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/statuses/filter ), which will give you a JSON object with tweets based on your filters.
Make use of the parameters you'll need to specify in the URL to filter the stream (have a look through this document to learn more about it: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/parameters ), in your case it'll be the follow parameter. You basically specify the twitter ID of the user you want to follow. Here's a sample JSON result of the streaming API in action https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?follow=25365536 - this one in particular is following Kim Kardashian. Keep in mind that this will give you:
Tweets created by the user.
Tweets which are retweeted by the user.
Replies to any Tweet created by the user.
Retweets of any Tweet created by the user.
So in order to just stream the tweets of your desired user, you'll have to use a programming language of your choice to parse through the JSON object to find the user that actually sent the tweet (this is a little tricky, you'll have to look through the properties of the JSON object to figure it out). Once you narrow the streaming tweets to just the ones from the user though, you can then have an alert on when new tweets by this user stream and that will tell you if the user is online/using twitter at the moment.
It's not clear what you mean by "online" (browsing twitter.com? Using a Twitter app?), but in any case Twitter doesn't provide such information, thankfully.
I'm afraid such information is limited by Twitter and is not available. However you can put your question on https://dev.twitter.com/discussions and ask its developers. Good Luck
you need get user state first
then filter if around current time
then get ids
they are online
use twitter developer api
I do it for my website
I am not sure how it is done, therefore my questions below:
I would like to ask folks on Twitter for a suggestion on a particular topic. Can I tell them to use certain hashtag and have all comments with that hashtag posted on my site?
Do I just pick a hashtag or does it need to be created somehow?
Can I have users on my site rate those suggestions? In that case, would I need to somehow grab twitter message and store locally?
Just trying to understand the process in order to implement it.
Hashtags don't have to be created - just use it in tweet.
In order to get all tweets with particular hashtag, use search API: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search and search for this hashtag. You should save all relevant tweets (twitter search is not reliable on old tweets).
Is it possible to search through Twitter's media for specific tags?
I know you can access the media via this url:
https://twitter.com/#!/therealpaddock/media/grid
Appending media/grid to the end of a user's ID, I was wondering if there is a way to search through all the twitter media photos via a tag???
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/user-streams
http://dev.twitpic.com/docs/
I have been searching through the API and googling, and I can't find anything out there that does this.
I have been looking at Twitpic's API but can't seem to find anywhere that lets you search and display images.
Tag? I'm not sure you understand Twitter. A photo is simply attached to a tweet. A tweet may have a hashtag. If you want to search by hashtags, simply use the normal tweet search, then filter the photos.
Not sure why you linked to Twitpic, as what you're looking for is the normal Twitter search. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search
You can look at the Twicsy API.
It allows you to search all Twitter pictures using a search term (which is what I think you mean by tag).
http://api.twicsy.com/search/foo
http://api.twicsy.com/search?q=foo
They also provide ways to filter results, by number of results and date. (Go to the API docs for more details).
Another solution would be to use the Twitter search API to make the query and parse out the images manually. This blog post explains how.
