Twitter clients that can filter tweets by regex?
Want to filter out tweets containing http://4sq.com or http://gowal.la.
Any recommendations on how to do this?
- aneesh 17y agoWhat is this for? You can use the search API directly (it works with URLs): http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-API-Documentation http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-API-Documentation If you truly want regex support, just grab a lot of tweets with the API, and filter client-side.
- jmillerinc 17y agoI am looking for an existing Twitter client that can filter by regex while still having all of the bells and whistles. Building my own would be a last resort.
