3. USAGE

I. Models

Supported apiNG models

model	content	support	max items per request	(native) default items per 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 response recent return only the most recent results in the response popular 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

Sample requests:

• [{'search':'#eagles', 'result_type':'recent'}, {'search':'Thomas Müller', 'result_type':'popular'}]
