Question

我在Twitter上知道用户的名字。如何使用Twitter gem获取用户的国家/地区？

Answer 1

Twitter.user("sferik").location

但是，location只是一个字符串。用户的国家/地区未明确存储。

Answer 2

用户对象包含国家/地区信息

    "user":{"statuses_count":3080, "favourites_count":22, "protected":false,
 "profile_text_color":"437792", "profile_image_url":"...", "name":"Twitter API", 
"profile_sidebar_fill_color":"a9d9f1", "listed_count":9252, "following":true, 
"profile_background_tile":false, "utc_offset":-28800, "description":"The Real Twitter API. 
I tweet about API changes, service issues and happily answer questions about Twitter and 
our API. Don't get an answer? It's on my website.", "location":"San Francisco, CA", 
"contributors_enabled":true, "verified":true, "profile_link_color":"0094C2", 
"followers_count":665829, "url":"http:\/\/dev.twitter.com", "default_profile":false, 
"profile_sidebar_border_color":"0094C2", "screen_name":"twitterapi", 
"default_profile_image":false, "notifications":false, "display_url":null, 
"show_all_inline_media":false, "geo_enabled":true, "profile_use_background_image":true, 
"friends_count":32, "id_str":"6253282", "entities":{"hashtags":[], "urls":[], 
"user_mentions":[]}, "expanded_url":null, "is_translator":false, "lang":"en", 
"time_zone":"Pacific Time (US &amp; Canada)", "created_at":"Wed May 23 06:01:13 +0000 
2007", "profile_background_color":"e8f2f7", "id":6253282, "follow_request_sent":false, 
"profile_background_image_url_https":"...", "profile_background_image_url":"...", 
"profile_image_url_https":"..."}

它也可以由Coordinates对象确定 - 如果您想使用地图服务来尝试确定纬度和经度线在国家/地区的位置放置推文的位置，或者您可以描绘一个国家/地区的角落以尝试和得到一个大致的想法。例如，您可以使用

最北端的西北角，明尼苏达州（49°23'4.1“N）

最南端的Ballast Key，佛罗里达州（24°31'15“N）

最东端的Sail Rock，位于缅因州西Quoddy Head附近   （66°57'W）

从Cape Alava离岸的Bodelteh群岛最西端，   华盛顿（124°46'W）

因为连续的48个美国国家作为地点对象和用户对象的位置经常为空或在实践中未指定：

"coordinates":
{
    "coordinates":
    [
        -75.14310264,
        40.05701649
    ],
    "type":"Point"
}

或最后由places对象

"place":
{
    "attributes":{},
     "bounding_box":
    {
        "coordinates":
        [[
                [-77.119759,38.791645],
                [-76.909393,38.791645],
                [-76.909393,38.995548],
                [-77.119759,38.995548]
        ]],
        "type":"Polygon"
    },
     "country":"United States",
     "country_code":"US",
     "full_name":"Washington, DC",
     "id":"01fbe706f872cb32",
     "name":"Washington",
     "place_type":"city",
     "url": "http://api.twitter.com/1/geo/id/01fbe706f872cb32.json"
}
