Saurabh Sahni: Twitter trends and Hot tweets for YOU

  • iankennedy · 8 months ago
    Can't wait to try this when twitter turns on OAuth again (hope it doesn't take too long!!)

    Yes, OAuth vulnerability exposed just the day when I did this hack :(

    Thanks for this. I haven't looked at the Twitter APIs yet, but seeing your list of resources, quite motivated to do so!

    Hi, just came across this post via a Google search looking for an app like this! I was wondering, is there any way to display friends' trends on one's home page, just as you can display your own twitter stream in a sidebar?
  • saurabhsahni · 3 months ago
    The trends require authentication. So its not easy to get them on any other page.
    But, if you are/have a developer you can do it. Scrape the page: http://twitter-trends.appspot.com/ for topics and do not forget to send the right cookie.

    Thanks! I'm not a developer, but hoping some dev friends can help. :)

    Btw, does the current code produce trends for people whom you are following, or those following you? Or both?
