Just started playing with yahoo pipes with twitter for an auto-retweet. For some reason I keep getting an infinite loop. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Here is my pipe:

For some reason you can't fetch a search.twitter.com feed directly in Pipes, so you have to wrap it in a YQL call.
The following pipe should do what you want. Searches all tweets that are not retweets and returns the unique authors prepended with '#'.

I am unable to get Dailymotion Graph API to do a search on a multiple word term. For example:
https://api.dailymotion.com/videos/?search=%22glacier+national+park%22&page=1&limit=3
Will still search on each word separately.
If I &sort=relevance, then it is fine, but if I'd like to sort differently, it will pull titles with only the word "national" in them, and not restrict to the full term.
Their own Graph API tool mimics this:
https://www.dailymotion.com/doc/api/explorer#/video/list
It almost seems like it is a bug, but prolly I'm just not finding the right syntax.
TIA!
Good news, you can do a search on multiple terms by using quotes around words.
Hence your request:
https://api.dailymotion.com/videos/?search=%22glacier+national+park%22&page=1&limit=3
should return what you're looking for!
I am trying to search for "Food+Show" from two youtube channels. ABCNetwork and FoxBroadcasting. The query I gave is
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&alt=jsonc&q=Food+Show&max-results=3&authors=ABCNetwork,FoxBroadcasting&prettyprint=true
The first result I got was id UKfLsIgJB1g where uploader is wafelsanddinges and not ABC or Fox. Please tell me why my query is not retuning correct result.
The parameter for the v2 data API is "author," not "authors." Unfortunately, fixing that won't solve the problem, as the retrieval of videos from a particular channel can only accept one author at a time. This is also true for v3 of the API.
The reason behind this is that the comma is treated as a concatenator, looking for a video that was published on FoxBroadcasting AND ABCNetwork (the use case for having multiple authors in that parameter is if you are retrieving activity feeds, in which case you want both feeds so having the comma serve as an AND is correct).
So for now, the only solution is two separate calls.
I am trying to create a yahoo pipe that takes ideally takes all tweets tweeted at any point in time and filters down by a number of attributes to then display a filtered feed.
Basically in order this is what I want to happen:
Get a feed of all tweets at any one time.
Filter tweets by geolocation origin, i.e. UK,
Filter by a number of of different combinations of keywords.
Output as an RSS feed (though this isn't really the crucial stage as Yahoo Pipes takes care of this anyway)
Disclaimer: of course I understand that there are limits to the amount of tweets that could come through etc but I would like to cast the input net as wide as possible.
I have managed to get stages 3 & 4 working correctly and for the time being I am not really worrying about step 2 (although if you have any suggestions I am all ears), but stages 1 is where I am struggling. What I have attempted is using a Fetch Feed module with the URL - http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=lang:en - however it seems that this only pulls 15 tweets. Is there any way that I can pull more than 15 tweets every time the pipe is run, otherwise I think this may all be in vain.
FYI, here is the link to the pipe as it stands - http://pipes.yahoo.com/ludus247/182ef4a83885698428d57865da5cf85b
Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to try to retrieve ALL tweets for an x time interval.
For example, I want to try to get all the tweets posted in the past 5 seconds (no specific word search in the query) - how would I be able to do this? I tried searching twitter documentation for a solution using the REST/Search/Streaming API but I've had no luck. I tried searching for an empty string as my query, but I get an invalid input as my response.
If anybody has any idea on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
We've noticed what seems to be a delay and/or inconsistent results using the Twitter Search API when specifying a sinceid in the param clause. For example:
http://search.twitter.com/search?ors=%23b4esummit+#b4esummit+b4esummit&q=&result_type=recent&rpp=100&show_user=true&since_id=
Will give the most recent Tweets, but:
http://search.twitter.com/search?ors=%23b4esummit+#b4esummit+b4esummit&q=&result_type=recent&rpp=100&show_user=true&since_id= 12642940173
will often not give tweets that are after that ID for several hours (even though they're visible in the first query)...
anyone have similar problems?
First off, those are not Twitter search API URLs. You should be querying the API like this:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23b4esummit%20OR%20#b4esummit%20OR%20b4esummit&result_type=recent&rpp=100&show_user=true
Second, since_id cuts off from the bottom of the list. You can see the behavior illustrated in this documentation: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/working-with-timelines
For an example, at the time of this writing, the above URL returns 31 entries. Picking the ID of a Tweet in the middle of that list, I constructed:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23b4esummit%20OR%20#b4esummit%20OR%20b4esummit&result_type=recent&rpp=100&show_user=true&since_id=178065448397574144
Which only returns 12 entries, which match the top 12 entries of the first URL.
