Is there a way to implement twitter search?

Question

I would like to implement twitter search, but with the use of their API. I think most of you know the search which they have on their home page.

Search gives such link: http://twitter.com/#search?q=ipod ubuntu

I looked in API for a possible solution, but didn't find it. Also it would be nice if the response to the request could be in XML format, since I know that some API methods allow only json or atom.

Hope there is one(with the use of API).

Answer 1

Have you looked at this twitter search api documentation? You can return results in atom or json simply with http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=ipod+ubuntu or http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=ipod+ubuntu

Isn't atom an xml language? Shouldn't a decent xml parser be able to handle atom?
