How do I combine search tags?

[Jingles1987]

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out how to combine hashtag searches with tweets from a specific user. For example: “?q=%20election AND from:reporter&count=20&result_type=recent”

This would pull all of the tweets that have the hashtag of election by the user “reporter”. I tried it with an AND operator and with out, but neither seem to return any values but when I search with https://twitter.com/search I am able to find it. I even copied the URL query parameters from the search URL and it still didn’t work.

Hi,
Try this
https://twitter.com/search-advanced

It will help you build the query

As I mentioned, I grabbed the search from the twitter search and when I pull that into the query I get no results, but when I search (with the query from twitter.com) on twitter’s search I get results. I tried q=%23election%20from:reporter&count=20&result_type=recent

and it’s still not working.

I am not sure what the exact query you are running, the one you provide doesn’t give any data even on twitter.
Keep in mind, the free API only gives 7 days of data. May be that’s the issue?

That seems to have been the issue. I was seeing tweets from the twitter site but didn’t realize how old the post was. Thank you!
