Retrieve full URL in Twitter Search API

I am using the Twitter Search API to s开发者_如何学编程earch for a URL. Here's an example: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=url.com

The JSON response gives me the shortened URL of each search result. Is there a way for me to retrieve the full URL of each result?

From 11/2011, you can use the include_entities=true parameter to retrieve full tweet entities, which include the expanded URL (and a lot more)

You will have to pragmatically request each URL yourself and see where it redirect to.

On Twitter Search, you can use the same URL endpoint that Twitter Search uses to expand shortened URLs: http://search.twitter.com/hugeurl. For example, if you wanted to expand the shortened URL http://bit.ly/jIhqhq:

$ curl "http://search.twitter.com/hugeurl?url=http://bit.ly/jIhqhq"
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SPORT/football/05/03/may.03.cnn.top.10/index.html/

This will only work for the more popular shorteners (bit.ly, j.mp, etc.) Also, this AJAX endpoint is pretty aggressively rate-limited, so don't expect to be able to use this for a production application, but something like 10 times an hour should be fine.

Not currently through Twitter. On Twitter.com, those shortened URLs are automatically expanded into something readable, however search.twitter.com doesn't seem to be expanding the t.co shortened URLs at this time.
