twitter search node

KNIME Extensions
1

Dear all,

I have problems using the "language" operator of twitter search in the KNIME Twitter Search node.

Upon searching "ik language:Dutch" the twitter search website (https://twitter.com/search-home) returns tweets in Dutch with the word "ik". The KNIME twitter search node returns an empty table. Connection to the API is working, ordinary keyword search does return credible results.

Any thoughts how to fix?

 

Thanks

Hi,

I unfortunatly can not tell you why the search results between the search website and the search API differ.

However searching for tweets in a specific language is done with lang:<language code> so in your case you would have to search for "ik lang:nl".

Cheers,

Patrick

Where do you put the language please? Say if I want to search for restaurants UK, what do I put in the twitter search field? Thanks
