This connector is a powerful tool to perform searches on Twitter. You can create searches using Twitter REST API calls. 

Warning

Twitter has updated their API developer accounts.

If you are using a version of Datamer before 7.1.9 or 7.2.4, you will need to upgrade maintenance patches or upgrade to Datameer 7.4.

In order to use Datameer's Twitter connector, it is required that you have:

  • a Twitter account
  • Twitter developer access
  • a Twitter developer app for use with Datameer
