Local Trends (GET trends/:woeid) not returning any data

@ibias Luciano

I can't get any data using the query
http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/:woeid.format
(from this page: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/trends/%3Awoeid)

When I check what trends you guys have available using
http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/available.xml
I can see a lot of cities are available. Tampa, for example.

If I try to query for Tampa using
http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/:2503863.xml
I get a response like:
"No data for WOEID"

Actually, I get always "no data". No matter what WOEid I use.

Hi @ibias,

You've got an extra colon in your URL there (the ":" in our documentation is a sign that field is inline token in the path).

https://api.twitter.com/1/trends/2503863.xml is the URL you want, and it returns something like this right now:

```
<matching_trends type="array">
```

<trends as_of="2011-08-04T15:43:18Z" created_at="2011-08-04T15:42:01Z">

```
<locations>
```
```
<location>
```
```
<woeid>2503863</woeid>
```
```
<name>Tampa</name>
```
```
</location>
```
```
</locations>
```

xml does not work why?

See https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/835

Twitter have removed support for the XML endpoint.

I'm annoyed by this as when I read the announcement I thought I was fine because I switched to WOEID trends a long time ago.

I missed the bit about XML being removed too and now have 3 broken apps with many thousands of users until Apple approve the update at least 1 week wait.

I don't understand why the need to remove XML endpoints (surely the code is reusable enough to output in multiple formats?)

is possible to consult with .php that I want to move the channels TT to a .txt

```
  <head>
```
```
  </head>
```
```
  <body>
```
```
    <div id="trends">
```
```
    </div>
```
```
    <script>
```
```
      function onTrendData(data) {
```

        var parent = document.getElementById("trends");

        for (var loc = 0; loc < data.length; loc++) {

          for (var i = 0; i < data[loc]["trends"].length; i++) {

            var trend = document.createElement("div");

            var anchor = document.createElement("a");

```
            parent.appendChild(trend);
```
```
            trend.appendChild(anchor);
```

            anchor.textContent = data[loc]["trends"][i]["name"];

```
          }
```
```
        }
```
```
      }
```
```
    </script>
```

    <!-- Change 1.json to the appropriate locale code, as described

         https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/trends/%3Awoeid -->

    <script src="https://api.twitter.com/1/trends/1.json?callback=onTrendData"></script>

```
  </body>
```

<?php
{
$desc = fopen("trends.htm", "r");
$escr = fopen("fichero.txt", "w") or die ("no se puede crear!!!");
while (!feof($desc))
{
$linea = fgetss($desc, 256, "");
echo $linea;
fputs ($escr, trim($linea)." ");
}
fclose($escr);
fclose($desc);
}
?>

Sorry that you did not notice that part of the announcement, Richard.

We've been favoring JSON formats for all of our APIs for some time now -- supporting multiple formats can be a burden in a few different ways, especially for the Trends API. XML usage was comparatively minuscule to JSON usage and we got little to no complaints when we announced it in August.
