Get all tweets with specific hashtag

I've been experimenting with the Twitter API because I want to display a few lists of tweets on a special page.

Among those lists is a list with all tweets containing a specific hashtag (e.g. #test)

However I cannot find how to get that list in either XML or JSON (preferably the latter), does anyone know how? It is also fine if it can be done in TweetSharp

Solution

  • You can simply fetch http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23test to get a list of tweets containing #test in JSON, where %23test is #test URL encoded.

    I'm not familiar with TweetSharp, but I guess there must be a search command that you can use to search for #test, and then transform the resulting tweets into JSON yourself.
