Need Help Retweeting By Keyword & GEO

Post by RustyBread »

Is there a way to mass quoted retweet based on a keyword and also a geo location.

Lets say I want to mass quoted retweet tweets containing the keyword "Dogs"
and on top of the keyword search also retweet only United States tweets


Is it possible to do this?
Also are there any quoted retweet tutorials?

Thanks

not mass quote, MASS actions are where you provide the EXACT URLs to work on


you want normal SEARCH AND RETWEET tab


Then you can use the JSON format as such

Code: Select all

{
hashtag:'#your search#',
geopoint: '#latitude,#longitude#',
radius:'#kms#',
date_from:'#timestamp#',
date_to:'#timestamp'
}

everything apart from hashtag is optional

if you go to the SETTINGS tab, at the botttom is a form to create this output for you, to paste into the box when performing a tweet search

Also are there any quoted retweet tutorials?

Lets say for the geolocation I want the united states. So I used the scrape feature on the form and it gave me this for "United States" :
37.09024,-95.71289

So now would I have to put anything in the radius field to target all of the United States?


Also I click "Build Search" and it gives me this code: {"hashtag":"dogs","geopoint":"37.09024,-95.71289","search_type":"recent"}

Where do I put that code when doing quoted retweets?

hmm if you want just the US, am not sure. The coords pinpoint an EXACT location. Probably it picks washington DC to be the centre of the US (or maybe somewhere in the actual centre.

You can check where by entering those coords into google


AS for doing a tweet search with a country location, it appears you cannot. You can do a pure country search via the GEO api, but that doesn't allow the use of a search term. One or the other I'm afraid

But couldnt I set the radius of the location and give an approximate mileage of the radius of the United States from the center. Wouldnt that work?


Also once i get the output code where do I enter it at on the retweet page?

You could try, although I imagine twitter have a radius limit - although not sure what it is

you build the search term with it in the JSON format as detailed. Check the tutorial that shows how
