3. USAGE

I. Models

Supported apiNG models

model content support max items
per request
(native) default items
per request
social recent tweets, videos, images full 100 15
image recent images partly 100 15

support:

  • full: the source platform provides a full list with usable results
  • partly: the source platfrom provides just partly usable results

II. Requests

Every apiNG plugin expects an array of requests as html attribute.

Requests by User

parameter sample default description optional
user jquery The twitter screen name of the user for whom to return results for no
items 20 15 Items per request (0-100) yes
showAvatar true false Use true for show users avatar as image if post has no own image yes
exclude_replies true false This parameter will prevent replies from appearing in the returned timeline. Using exclude_replies with the items parameter will mean you will receive up-to count tweets — this is because the items parameter retrieves that many tweets before filtering out retweets and replies. yes
include_rts false true When set to false, the timeline will strip any native retweets (though they will still count toward both the maximal length of the timeline and the slice selected by the count parameter). yes

Sample requests:

  • [{'user':'johnnyzeitlos'}, {'user':'jowe'}, {'user':'angularui'}]
  • [{'user':'AngularAir', 'items':10, 'showAvatar':'true', 'exclude_replies':true}]

Requests by Search

parameter sample default description optional
search jquery Searchterm. A UTF-8, URL-encoded search query of 500 characters maximum, including operators. Queries may additionally be limited by complexity. no
items 20 15 Items per request (0-100) yes
showAvatar true false Use true for show users avatar as image if post has no own image yes
result_type recent mixed mixed include both popular and real time results in the response
recent return only the most recent results in the response
popular return only the most popular results in the response
yes
lat -13.163333 Returns tweets by users located within a given radius of the given latitude/longitude yes
lng -72.545556 Returns tweets by users located within a given radius of the given latitude/longitude yes
distance 5 1 Returns tweets by users located within a given radius in kilometers of the given latitude/longitude yes
language de Restricts tweets to the given language, given by an ISO 639-1 code yes

Sample requests:

  • [{'search':'#eagles', 'result_type':'recent'}, {'search':'Thomas Müller', 'result_type':'popular'}]
  • [{'search':'machu picchu', 'lat':'-13.163333', 'lng':'-72.545556', 'distance':5}]
