How to get user's current location?

What is the best way to get all Twitter users from a given location?

  • Answer:

    Since you specified "all users", there is no way to do this. Even with direct access to all the data stores, I can't tell you this answer. Even finding all tweets from a given location is impossible.

There are Twitter shortcuts and commands that you can use to do this. You need to use the "near" command: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=near%3Alondon You can add a search term to see what people are wishing for in London: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%22I+wish%22+near%3Alondon You can narrow the focus by setting a distance parameter (metric in this case, but imperial measurements work too) http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%22I+wish%22+near%3ALondon&within=5&units=km You can also search by zip code in the US (however UK postcodes don't seem to work): http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%22I+wish%22+near%3A10010 See more Twitter commands here: http://ecly.co/dMY4MO Hope that helps.

Another way is using twitter API Use the geocode parameter in the search API[1]. It is the same as using Places in Advanced search[2]. Use the former if you want to find the information programmatically else use the latter method. In essence both do the same thing. But, unfortunately, the results available won't be too good as many people don't have their location turned on. You could also use geo resources[3]. Another way is to get Location from user's profile, if they have set it using User Resources[4][5] 1. http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search 2. http://search.twitter.com/advanced 3. http://dev.twitter.com/doc/geo/# 4. http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/friends 5. http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/followers
