Is there an API (Twitter API does not provide this) that I can use to determine the most common links in 200 tweets for example. What I want to do is to get the latest 200 tweets and then determine what are people talking about, I am sure that the tweets will contain links (because I will ask the twitter API to return tweets that contain links only) but I will also want to make sure that my code will understand that Two URLs are the same even if they have different bit.ly links.
What I am trying to do (this might make it easier for your guys to provide some help) is that i am trying to determine what is the most important subject people are talking about in these 200 tweets. I understand that people might be talking about the same story but provide different links, however, i am not sure if there is an easy way to understand that.
Links to examples, APIs, sample code, and any other ideas will be helpful 🙂
If you need more information to explain this please tell me and I will edit the question to include more information
Not that I know of, but you can accomplish this by..
Find all of the links in the list of tweets using a regex pattern.
Use the twitter search api to search for each link. The number of results is returned.
Manually sort the links by # of results returned.
