@Abraham I actually use the geocode with the search api for my script, so using the search api isn't my problem. My problem is that I get "stale" results from the search cache, even when querying after a sufficient interval. Also the "stale" results seem hours old (at times, in fact yesterday at 23:00 hours I got a few results that were from 22:00-22:30 hours. Didn't have the problem when using twitter search from the browser). To overcome this Raffi Krikorian suggested using the streaming api instead of the search api. My question was - how do i get a location specific stream using the streaming api. From the streaming api docs, there doesn't seem a way to do this at the moment, which kind of defeats my purpose as I need to the deploy the script in the next one week or so. Guess I'll have to live with the stale results...
Anyway thanks for the help.
