I’m looking to create a Twitter map visualization much like these:
http://beta.twittervision.com/
However, according to the Streaming API docs:
https://twitterapi.pbworks.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#locations
Twitter only permits streaming API access of an area’s bounding box with each side’s length equal to only one degree of lon/lat.
How are these sites executing these queries despite Twitter’s limitations? Is there something I’m missing?
They are most likely using the
statuses/sampleurl, as it just gives them random tweets. As long as the post comes through with location data, they can use it.As long as the tweets that are being sent come with Lat/Long data, they would be able to plot them on the map.
