To get twitter company profile using JavaScript or json

Asked By helenmarmstead 60 points N/A Posted on - 11/19/2012

 

Most companies create their own profile on Twitter. Is there a way to get the Twitter company profile using JavaScript or JSON? I am using a URL string to get the results: http://twitter.com/search.json?q=strquery; but I am not getting the result that I wanted.

To get twitter company profile using JavaScript or json

The Twitter team has done a great job of creating an API, so you don’t have to use third party stuff.

Twitter’s API is pretty straight forward and very easy to use.

You can refer to their documentation for any assistance.

For example for the company Kenchky, the appropriate URL string is http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Akenchky (Example URL don't click)

To get twitter company profile using JavaScript or json

If you want to have your own version of an API (Application Programming Interface) gadget to add to your website and be able to access Twitter profile pages, then I suggest you use HTML and JavaScript.

Combining these two powerful languages can build you a search tool where you can type a person’s name or a company’s name and access their Twitter profile page.

You can also play around with the codes so you can personalize it and only display the Twitter information that you want to be shown on your website.
