What Can You Build With the Twitter Geo Details Scraper API

Place search and location resolution

Convert free-form location names, coordinates, or IP-based location signals into structured Twitter place entities. Store normalized place IDs, names, countries, country codes, and place types in your application.

Tweet location enrichment

Enrich location-based social datasets with standardized geographic metadata. Resolve place IDs found in Twitter data and attach normalized names, regional context, country information, and geographic boundaries.

Maps and geographic visualizations

Use bounding-box coordinates to display Twitter place entities on maps, create regional overlays, or organize location-based data by country, administrative region, city, neighborhood, or point of interest.

Location validation and data normalization

Validate user-entered locations and normalize inconsistent place names into stable Twitter place objects. Distinguish between cities, countries, administrative regions, neighborhoods, and points of interest before storing or analyzing geographic data.

Perfect for academic research. The community and trends endpoints give us data we couldn't get anywhere else. Documentation could use more examples, but support is responsive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Twitter Geo API.

What is a Twitter Geo Details Scraper API?

A Twitter Geo Details Scraper API turns Twitter place entities into structured geographic data an application can use. ScrapeBadger's two Geo endpoints let you search for places and retrieve detailed metadata for a specific place ID.

How can I search for a Twitter place?

Search Places supports free-form place names via the query parameter and coordinate-based search via a lat and long pair. The endpoint also supports IP-based location search via the ip parameter and geographic granularity filtering. At least one search method must be provided.

What place data can I retrieve?

Place responses can include the unique place ID, short name, full regional name, country, ISO country code, place type, Twitter place URL, bounding-box type, bounding-box coordinates, and additional attributes.

Which Twitter place types are supported?

Place objects can be classified as city, country, admin, poi, or neighborhood. The granularity filter on Search Places can narrow results to neighborhood, city, admin, or country-level places.

What is the difference between a Twitter place ID and a WOEID?

A place ID identifies a Twitter geographic place entity and is used by the Get Place Details endpoint. A WOEID (Where On Earth ID) is used by the Trends by Location endpoint. These identifiers serve different endpoints and should not be assumed to be interchangeable.

How much does the Twitter Geo API cost?

Every successful Geo request costs 1 base credit plus 1 credit for each place returned. A place-details lookup returns one object and uses 2 credits. A search returning 20 places uses 21 credits. Failed 4xx and 5xx requests use 0 credits, and the exact charge is returned in the X-Credits-Used response header.

Does the Twitter Geo API have rate limits?

Yes. Request-per-minute limits depend on the selected ScrapeBadger plan. See the pricing table for the current limits per plan tier.
