API

The BackTweets API is very simple – just make a call to the SERP with your desired data format. We support both XML and JSON responses, and every API call requires an API key that you can obtain from the BackType Developers page once you've signed up for BackType. All BackTweets API calls will fall under your permissible 1000 BackType API requests per day.

Here's an API call that returns XML:

http://backtweets.com/search.xml?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com&key=key

This example uses JSON and the "since_id" parameter:

http://backtweets.com/search.json?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com&since_id=1300588696&key=key
