Hi Rhys,
The merge of the two APIs will be part of version 2 of the Twitter API. We're working on it but bug fixes and OAuth have taken priority. We'll update the list once we have a beta ready. There will be new URLs for everything as part of this and a transition time so people can get things moved over. I haven't spent much time on how trends will fit into the new API. We'll still have JSON and may add XML as well. In the old API it's only JSON because the only other search format is Atom and trends simply don't fit the model.
Thanks; — Matt Sanford / @mzsanford On Dec 23, 2008, at 06:20 AM, rhysmeister wrote:
Hi All, I recall reading that the search API was going to be "merged" into the main Twitter API. If this is the case when would this happen and would any url's change? Currently the "trends" method in the search API only support json. Any estimation of when we might get other formats? Thanks, Rhys
