Before configuring the Twitter source connector, make sure you have your App-Only Bearer Token ready. This token is necessary for authentication with the Twitter API.
Steps to Configure Twitter
Navigate to the Set up the source section.
Select Twitter from the list of available source types.
Provide a name for the connector to help identify it easily.
In the Access Token field, paste your Bearer Token from the Twitter app.
In the Search Query field, define the keywords or filters for collecting relevant Tweets. Refer to Twitter’s query-building documentation for help in crafting this query.
(Optional) Enter a Start Date in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ. Note: Tweets older than 7 days cannot be retrieved using this method.
(Optional) Specify an End Date in the same format. Ensure the end date is at least 10 seconds before the time the request is made.
Click Set up source to finalize the integration. The platform will verify the connection settings and initiate sync.
