I’m integrating some Twitter functions on my app. So basically what i want to do is to retrieve tweets based on some keywords (#hashtags) and from those extract if present pictures and present them to the user.
The problem is that on “GET Search” query such as "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Twitter%20API&result_type=mixed&count=5" entities are not supported so I’m wondering how can I achieve my task.
I thought to get all the tweets with that query and then for each tweet do this call “GET statuses/show/:id” so i can get the entities for each tweet- get the link in the tweet text – and then make another call to a service where tweet pictures are stored and shared but it seems inefficient, it needs a lot of connection.
At that time Twitter Search API didn’t support entities, now it works properly
