If you use code such as below and use the JSONP callback functionality, you will not have to use a server side script to call the API… just a thought to make it a JS only API :)

var sc = document.createElement(‘script’);
var h = document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0];
sc.language = ‘javascript’;
sc.type = ‘text/javascript’;
sc.src = ‘http://search.twitter.com/search.json?callback=check_results_since&q=iphone+OR+ipod+OR+@itweetie&rpp=25&since_id=‘ + since_id + ‘&rand=’ + Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000000);

h.appendChild(sc);

Dave, thanks for the tip. I will give this a try. It would nice to eliminate the server side code making it easily portable to any web server.

That is awesome. It worked great. I am going to take some time and rework the API to eliminate the server side code. This is the perfect excuse to get in there and do some refactoring. Hopefully I’ll have something to post soon.
