geo_search(options={})

Alias for places_nearby

Returns all the information about a known place

@see dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/geo/id/:place_id @rate_limited Yes @requires_authentication No @response_format `json` @param place_id [String] A place in the world. These IDs can be retrieved from {Twitter::Client::Geo#reverse_geocode}. @param options [Hash] A customizable set of options. @return [Hashie::Mash] The requested place. @example Return all the information about Twitter HQ

  Twitter.place("247f43d441defc03")

Creates a new place at the given latitude and longitude

@see dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/geo/place @rate_limited Yes @requires_authentication No @response_format `json` @param options [Hash] A customizable set of options. @option options [String] :name The name a place is known as. @option options [String] :contained_within This is the place_id which you would like to restrict the search results to. Setting this value means only places within the given place_id will be found. @option options [String] :token The token found in the response from {Twitter::Client::Geo#places_similar}. @option options [Float] :lat The latitude to search around. This option will be ignored unless it is inside the range -90.0 to +90.0 (North is positive) inclusive. It will also be ignored if there isn‘t a corresponding :long option. @option options [Float] :long The longitude to search around. The valid range for longitude is -180.0 to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive. This option will be ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is disabled, or if there not a corresponding :lat option. @option options [String] :"attribute:street_address" This option searches for places which have this given street address. There are other well-known and application-specific attributes available. Custom attributes are also permitted. @return [Hashie::Mash] The created place. @example Create a new place

  Twitter.place_create(:name => "@sferik's Apartment", :token => "22ff5b1f7159032cf69218c4d8bb78bc", :contained_within => "41bcb736f84a799e", :lat => "37.783699", :long => "-122.393581")

Search for places that can be attached to a {Twitter::Client::Tweets#update}

@see dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/geo/search @rate_limited Yes @requires_authentication No @response_format `json` @param options [Hash] A customizable set of options. @option options [Float] :lat The latitude to search around. This option will be ignored unless it is inside the range -90.0 to +90.0 (North is positive) inclusive. It will also be ignored if there isn‘t a corresponding :long option. @option options [Float] :long The longitude to search around. The valid range for longitude is -180.0 to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive. This option will be ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is disabled, or if there not a corresponding :lat option. @option options [String] :query Free-form text to match against while executing a geo-based query, best suited for finding nearby locations by name. @option options [String] :ip An IP address. Used when attempting to fix geolocation based off of the user‘s IP address. @option options [String] :granularity (‘neighborhood’) This is the minimal granularity of place types to return and must be one of: ‘poi’, ‘neighborhood’, ‘city’, ‘admin’ or ‘country’. @option options [String] :accuracy (‘0m’) A hint on the "region" in which to search. If a number, then this is a radius in meters, but it can also take a string that is suffixed with ft to specify feet. If coming from a device, in practice, this value is whatever accuracy the device has measuring its location (whether it be coming from a GPS, WiFi triangulation, etc.). @option options [Integer] :max_results A hint as to the number of results to return. This does not guarantee that the number of results returned will equal max_results, but instead informs how many "nearby" results to return. Ideally, only pass in the number of places you intend to display to the user here. @option options [String] :contained_within This is the place_id which you would like to restrict the search results to. Setting this value means only places within the given place_id will be found. @option options [String] :"attribute:street_address" This option searches for places which have this given street address. There are other well-known and application-specific attributes available. Custom attributes are also permitted. @return [Array] @example Return an array of places near the IP address 74.125.19.104

  Twitter.places_nearby(:ip => "74.125.19.104")

Locates places near the given coordinates which are similar in name

@see dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/geo/similar_places @note Conceptually, you would use this method to get a list of known places to choose from first. Then, if the desired place doesn‘t exist, make a request to {Twitter::Client::Geo#place} to create a new one. The token contained in the response is the token necessary to create a new place. @rate_limited Yes @requires_authentication No @response_format `json` @param options [Hash] A customizable set of options. @option options [Float] :lat The latitude to search around. This option will be ignored unless it is inside the range -90.0 to +90.0 (North is positive) inclusive. It will also be ignored if there isn‘t a corresponding :long option. @option options [Float] :long The longitude to search around. The valid range for longitude is -180.0 to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive. This option will be ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is disabled, or if there not a corresponding :lat option. @option options [String] :name The name a place is known as. @option options [String] :contained_within This is the place_id which you would like to restrict the search results to. Setting this value means only places within the given place_id will be found. @option options [String] :"attribute:street_address" This option searches for places which have this given street address. There are other well-known and application-specific attributes available. Custom attributes are also permitted. @return [Array] @example Return an array of places similar to Twitter HQ

  Twitter.places_similar(:lat => "37.7821120598956", :long => "-122.400612831116", :name => "Twitter HQ")

Searches for up to 20 places that can be used as a place_id

@see dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/geo/reverse_geocode @note This request is an informative call and will deliver generalized results about geography. @rate_limited Yes @requires_authentication No @response_format `json` @param options [Hash] A customizable set of options. @option options [Float] :lat The latitude to search around. This option will be ignored unless it is inside the range -90.0 to +90.0 (North is positive) inclusive. It will also be ignored if there isn‘t a corresponding :long option. @option options [Float] :long The longitude to search around. The valid range for longitude is -180.0 to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive. This option will be ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is disabled, or if there not a corresponding :lat option. @option options [String] :accuracy (‘0m’) A hint on the "region" in which to search.

This does not guarantee that the number of results returned will equal max_results, but instead informs how many "nearby" results to return. Ideally, only pass in the number of places you intend to display to the user here. @return [Array] @example Return an array of places within the specified region

  Twitter.reverse_geocode(:lat => "37.7821120598956", :long => "-122.400612831116")
