I’ve been using the Twitter search api and PHP to pull in tweets from my account:
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from=myaccount
(using simplexml and caching the feed so I’m only calling to twitter once and hour)
It’s been working fine for about two weeks, now nothing. When I visit the url above (with my account ) I don’t get anything apart from the title of the feed.
The response I get in the headers is:
Date Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:16:55 GMT

…I think this is all good. I’ve not been rate limited then apparently I’d get a 400 error…but this looks all good to me. I just can’t figure out why this would have stopped working. Nothing has changed.
I did look at the headers from another twitter page which is returning me tweets in xml and the headers are almost indentical – apart from the status line is missing:

Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this problem? I can provide more info about the reponse if need be.
The search api only returns results for the last 4-6 days.. I know useless.
I haven’t found a work around for this either
