Hi,

Here's a reference mostly for myself, to get some Twitter data.

So here are the steps:

1) Log into Twitter!

2) Use the query URL: (change the query based on this information):
http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?locations=-122.75,36.8,-121.75,37.8,-74,40,-73,41

3) You can use other methods (filter.json, firehose.json, links.json, retweet.json, sample.json) and the query parameters are ( count, delimited, follow, locations, track).. all explained here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/methods

4) Here's one sample file you get if you run the query in step 3. See/Download Here
