class Api(object):
    """A python interface into the Twitter API

    By default, the Api caches results for 1 minute.

    Example usage:

      To create an instance of the twitter.Api class, with no authentication:

        >>> import twitter
        >>> api = twitter.Api()

      To fetch a single user's public status messages, where "user" is either
      a Twitter "short name" or their user id.

        >>> statuses = api.GetUserTimeline(user)
        >>> print([s.text for s in statuses])

      To use authentication, instantiate the twitter.Api class with a
      consumer key and secret; and the oAuth key and secret:

        >>> api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='twitter consumer key',
                              consumer_secret='twitter consumer secret',
                              access_token_key='the_key_given',
                              access_token_secret='the_key_secret')

      To fetch your friends (after being authenticated):

        >>> users = api.GetFriends()
        >>> print([u.name for u in users])

      To post a twitter status message (after being authenticated):

        >>> status = api.PostUpdate('I love python-twitter!')
        >>> print(status.text)
        I love python-twitter!

      There are many other methods, including:

        >>> api.PostUpdates(status)
        >>> api.PostDirectMessage(user, text)
        >>> api.GetUser(user)
        >>> api.GetReplies()
        >>> api.GetUserTimeline(user)
        >>> api.GetHomeTimeline()
        >>> api.GetStatus(status_id)
        >>> api.GetStatuses(status_ids)
        >>> api.DestroyStatus(status_id)
        >>> api.GetFriends(user)
        >>> api.GetFollowers()

            A raw query as a string. This should be everything after the "?" in

            type checking and ensuring that the query string is properly

            formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.
          geocode (str or list or tuple, optional):
            Geolocation within which to search for tweets. Can be either a
            string in the form of "latitude,longitude,radius" where latitude
            and longitude are floats and radius is a string such as "1mi" or
            "1km" ("mi" or "km" are the only units allowed). For example:
              >>> api.GetSearch(geocode="37.781157,-122.398720,1mi").
            Otherwise, you can pass a list of either floats or strings for
            lat/long and a string for radius:

          count (int, optional):
            Number of results to return.  Default is 15 and maxmimum that
            Twitter returns is 100 irrespective of what you type in.
          lang (str, optional):
            Language for results as ISO 639-1 code.  Default is None
            (all languages).
          locale (str, optional):
            Language of the search query. Currently only 'ja' is effective.
            This is intended for language-specific consumers and the default
            should work in the majority of cases.
          result_type (str, optional):
            Type of result which should be returned. Default is "mixed".
            Valid options are "mixed, "recent", and "popular".
          include_entities (bool, optional):
            If True, each tweet will include a node called "entities".
            This node offers a variety of metadata about the tweet in a
            discrete structure, including: user_mentions, urls, and
            hashtags.

          containing the term, within the bounds of the geocoded area, or
