Search Twitter for pictures using API

Question

I'm searching for a way to get tweets which have a link to a picture residing in them. I would like to make a stream of pictures posted on Twitter using a certain hash-tag. Yet i've found no way to detect if tweets contain pictures and how to get those pictures from the different picture providers like twitpic, yfrog, instagram, lockerz, etc.

If anyone here has some knowledge that could give me a kickstart, it would be very welcome.

Answer 1

http://api.twicsy.com/ has services that may help you, take a look.

It won't work for our needs, because they don't permit automated crawling, only searches triggered by an end user. But take a look.

Answer 2

there's a wordpress plugin for this. have a look at: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ep-hashimage/
