Twitter – Stratifyd

Data connector details

Category: Social Media
Connector type: Standard

Description

Use the Twitter connector to search and analyze tweets posted on Twitter.

Data limitations

Stratifyd does not impose the same limitations that Twitter imposes on a standard search, but for very large amounts of data you may want to limit it yourself using the Comment Limit option or by narrowing the date range.

If you have issues with no data, try widening your date range on the second page of the wizard.

Input fields

When setting up the connector, provide the query to return the Tweets that you want to analyze.

Query: Enter your search terms using the Query syntax in the table below.
Comment Limit: To avoid returning too much data, it is a good practice to set a limit on the number of comments returned.

You can change your date range on the second page of the wizard, or optionally Schedule data crawls to update your data stream periodically.
