Thanks Mark, but as I said, we need to fetch more complex feeds to. So we'll use the OR with the simple query, and then query the search API with the complex query to see if a given tweet matches what we need! Julien On Dec 8, 12:55 am, Mark McBride wrote: > Note that search API whitelisting is

Note that search API whitelisting is different from regular API whitelisting, and getting a 20k hour limit there is much more restrictive. I still haven't seen a case where you couldn't do the matching on your side. As John says, with the streaming API right now you can only match simple terms, s

Hum... ok... sad, but I have an idea. Please tell me if this is stupid. So, for each tweet I receive, I know what searches it _may_ match. Right? So, with all these "candidates" query, what I can do is perform them against the regular search API (as long as they're complex). If the result from the

Well, then I'd need some help with that... Again, it's easy with single search keywords, but I haven't found a solution for combined searches like twitter+stream or photo+Paris... because I would have to compare each combination of tokens in the tweet... Can someone give more details. I am not s
