You can use either the Twitter search REST API or streaming API.

Why bother, just use the RSS feed. Replace "mymagapp" with the desired hashtag: (see image) as quora converted the text to an actual search when I entered the text.

In addition to the tweet text, I wanted meta - data for each tweet (for example, the location from which the user has tweeted, time and so on...). I found https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git" Python package very useful for this task. It gets tweets and the metadata in JSON format which is being distributed by the Twitter API which can be post processed using the JSON parser in Python. Thanks everyone for answering.
