Twitter Connector 12.13

# Track

You can use the `Track` parameter to retrieve tweets that match specific keywords or phrases. This parameter accepts a comma separated list of terms. Alternatively, you can set numbered parameters (`Track0`, `Track1`, and so on).

A tweet is retrieved when all of the words in any term are found in the tweet. For example, if you set `Track=Micro Focus,Software,IDOL`, the connector retrieves:

- any tweet that contains the words “Micro” and “Focus”, in any order.
- any tweet that contains the word “Software”.
- any tweet that contains the word “IDOL”.

This parameter is case-insensitive, so if you specify the term `Software`, the connector will also retrieve tweets that contain `software` or `SOFTWARE`.

For more information about how to select the tweets to retrieve, refer to the Twitter API documentation.

NOTE: To retrieve information from a filtered stream through the Twitter V2 API, Micro Focus recommends that you set the parameter FilteredStreamRule instead.

Use this parameter to retrieve data from the Twitter V1 API when you set `StreamType=statuses/filter`. The connector then retrieves any tweet that matches Language (if set) and FilterLevel, and at least one of the parameters Follow, Location, or Track.
