In addition to Hashtag, Username, Likes, and Lists connections, TINT allows you to aggregate content from Twitter using an "Advanced" connection which lets you build your own Twitter query.
The best way to build a query and test if it’s valid and will return matched Tweets is to first try it at twitter.com/search. If the query returns results, you can simply insert the query as-is into the advanced query field when adding a Twitter "Advanced" connection.
The following is a list of public Twitter search operators to help you in building your queries with some examples below:
Operator | Finds tweets... | |
---|---|---|
twitter search | containing both "twitter" and "search". This is the default operator. | |
"happy hour" | containing the exact phrase "happy hour". | |
love OR hate | containing either "love" or "hate" (or both). | |
beer -root | containing "beer" but not "root". | |
#haiku | containing the hashtag "haiku". | |
from:alexiskold | sent from the username "alexiskold". | |
to:techcrunch | sent to the username "techcrunch". | |
@mashable | referencing the username "mashable". | |
geocode:"29.4241,-98.4936,15mi" | search for tweets in San Antonio, using latitude, longitude, search radius (mi or km) | |
"happy hour" geocode:"29.4241,-98.4936,15mi" |
|
|
superhero since:2010-12-27 | containing "superhero" and sent since date "2010-12-27" (year-month-day). | |
ftw until:2010-12-27 | containing "ftw" and sent up to date "2010-12-27". | |
hilarious filter:links | containing "hilarious" and linking to URLs. | |
news source:"Twitter Lite" | containing "news" and entered via Twitter Lite | |
Please note that all Twitter "Advanced" connections use the Twitter Search API, which limits us to only retrieving results from the last 6-10 days. For more information please visit our support article on Missing Tweets.
