I may be completely overlooking something but I can’t seem to filter the user_timeline results by keyword in the REST api.
example:
http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/starbucks.json?q=pumpkin
returns all the results, not the ones filtered by the word ‘pumpkin’.
I finally figured out the method to do this if anybody else needs it,
remember to URL encode special chars after (?) , the top string didn’t need it.
