3. USAGE

I. Models

Supported apiNG models

| model | content | support | max itemsper request | (native) default itemsper request | |----------|---------|---------|--------|---------| | social | recent tweets, videos, images | full | 100 | 15 | | image | recent images | partly | 100 | 15 |

support:

• full: the source platform provides a full list with usable results
• partly: the source platfrom provides just partly usable results

II. Requests

Every apiNG plugin expects an array of requests as html attribute.

Requests by User

| parameter | sample | default | description | optional | |----------|---------|---------|---------|---------| | user | jquery | | The twitter screen name of the user for whom to return results for | no | | items | 20 | 15 | Items per request (0-100) | yes | | showAvatar | true | false | Use true for show users avatar as image if post has no own image | yes | | exclude_replies | true | false | This parameter will prevent replies from appearing in the returned timeline. Using exclude_replies with the items parameter will mean you will receive up-to count tweets — this is because the items parameter retrieves that many tweets before filtering out retweets and replies. | yes | | include_rts | false | true | When set to false, the timeline will strip any native retweets (though they will still count toward both the maximal length of the timeline and the slice selected by the count parameter). | yes |

Sample requests:

• [{'user':'johnnyzeitlos'}, {'user':'jowe'}, {'user':'angularui'}]
• [{'user':'AngularAir', 'items':10, 'showAvatar':'true', 'exclude_replies':true}]

Requests by Search

| parameter | sample | default | description | optional | |----------|---------|---------|---------|---------| | search | jquery | | Searchterm. A UTF-8, URL-encoded search query of 500 characters maximum, including operators. Queries may additionally be limited by complexity. | no | | items | 20 | 15 | Items per request (0-100) | yes | | showAvatar | true | false | Use true for show users avatar as image if post has no own image | yes | | result_type | recent | mixed | mixed include both popular and real time results in the responserecent return only the most recent results in the responsepopular return only the most popular results in the response | yes | | lat | -13.163333 | | Returns tweets by users located within a given radius of the given latitude/longitude | yes | | lng | -72.545556 | | Returns tweets by users located within a given radius of the given latitude/longitude | yes | | distance | 5 | 1 | Returns tweets by users located within a given radius in kilometers of the given latitude/longitude | yes | | language | de | | Restricts tweets to the given language, given by an ISO 639-1 code | yes |
