Find all tweets near me?

[WaltersGareth]

Hi, I am new to this. I have been able to get a script going using TwitterSearch by passing in a keyword or two, but can I mimic the near me function of the actual twitter search (more) options?

I tried different variations like this:
tso.set_keywords([], or_operator = True) # let's define all words we would like to have a look for tso.set_geocode(138.599,-34.93,10,imperial_metric=True)

Any help would be appreciated.

The logical OR is only available to keywords. There is no way to search for "foobar OR any tweets near me". This is due to the way the Twitter API works. Those logical operators are only working when it comes to keywords.

Though, you can compose a search like "get me all tweets containing foobar OR barfoo within the range 138.599, -34.93". Just use the set_keyword method as you did before and set the geocode:

tso.set_keywords(["foobar", "barfoo"], or_operator=True)
tso.set_geocode(138.599,-34.93,10,imperial_metric=True)
