Get location information using twitter api

Search for tweets

• GET search/tweets|Twitter Developers

You can use the .
You can limit it to tweets with geo attributes and use geocode.Arguments are in the form latitude, longitude, and distance km.

Sample code is Ruby.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# coding —utf-8

gem 'twitter', '>=5.0.0' # twitter gem version must be 5 or higher
require'twitter'

client=Twitter::REST::Client.new(
# Register API Access Tokens
  consumer_key: 'TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY',
  consumer_secret: 'TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET',
  access_token: 'ACCESS_TOKEN',
  access_token_secret: 'ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET'
)
since_id = nil 

loop do
  tweets=client.search(
    "love", # Search keyword to "love"
#    geocode: "40.7033121, -73.979681, 10km", #around New York
    count: 100,# Number of read tweets (API limit is 100)
    since_id:since_id# Specify the start-to-read id of the tweet to avoid retrieving the same tweet
  )
  since_id=tweets.first.id if tweets.first
  tweets.take(100).reverse.each do|tw|
    next if tw.geo.lat.nil?# If the tweet does not contain latitude, go to the next tweet
                            # Not required to include geocode in client.search argument
    puts"#{tw.place.name},#{tw.place.country}(#{tw.geo.lat},#{tw.geo.long})@#{tw.created_at}\n@#{tw.user.screen_name}(@#{tw.user.location}):#{tw.text}\n---"
    # Output Tweet Search Results in 1 Tweet 2 Lines
    # City, Country (latitude, longitude) @ Tweet Time
    # @Account Name (@Account registered place name): Tweet body 
  end
  sleep10#Repeat every 10 seconds
end

After a little explanation of the script,

• tw instance contains information for each tweet. It's almost the same as what the API returned in JSON.
• tw.place.name returns "name" for JSON's "place", "code" for "place", "country" for "place", "code>tw.geo.lat returns the first (or latitude) of "coordinates" for "geo", and "code>tw.geo.long returns "coins" for "goins" (or second) respectively. If
• geocode is specified, the search keyword is empty but API-wise OK. (Note: The Search API|Twitter Developers)
• If you look at JSON in languages other than Ruby, you will be able to get the history.

Example JSON returned from API:

if geocode is not specified https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=love&count=100&since_id=(since_id)

if geocode is specified https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=love&geocode=40.7033121,-73.979681,10km&count=100&since_id=(since_id)
I think it will be the same as (since_id) with a tweet id.

Also, as you can see from the example execution results, there are many tweets with a background of (0.0, 0.0). Please note that even tweets containing cities in location information may be missing from the search results if geocode criteria are included.

It was slightly different.

Geolocalization: ... When conducting geo searches, the search API will first attempt to find tweets which have lat/long within the queried geocode, and in case of not having success, it will attempt to find tweets created by users whose profile location can be reverse geocoded into a lat/long within the queried geocode, meaning that is possible to receive tweets which do not include lat/long information.
The Search API|Twitter Developers

It seems that geocode searches also use Profile location information.

I haven't checked the operation, so it might be wrong, but
Why don't you search users/search and check the geo attribute of the tweet?
