How to use twitter api premium operator `is:retweet` in Java?

[vimalOfficial]

How to use twitter api premium operator is:retweet in Java ? And how to use it in negation as far as I understand will is_retweet and is:notretweet work ? I can’t experiment as every request costs, is there anyone who has used it or twitter developer guys please respond.

Thanks.

I’m unable to address the language-specific aspect of the question, as I don’t know what library you’re using (and I don’t currently know a Java library that directly supports premium search).

In terms of your query, there are two things to note, based on the documentation:

• you can only use the is: operators in combination with other clauses, they cannot be used standalone. So, for example, a search query of TwitterDev is:retweet is valid, but is:retweet on its own is not.
• to negate an operator, use the - prefix. So, in this case, you could use TwitterDev -is:retweet

Can you tell how to make curl request for same ? And are there quotes ? (I am doing curl from java code). My curl url usually looks like query = "ENDPOINT?query='some_query'&max_id=some_id&place_country=IN" so if I need to append this parameter is there a way ?

It would be something like this (you’ll need a bearer token as well)

curl --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer xxxxx' --data "{\"maxResults\":\"10\"}" 'query=TwitterDev -is:retweet' 'api.twitter.com/1.1/tweets/search/30day/development.json'

There are no individual max_id and place_country parameters available. See the documentation for more examples. You can include place_country inside the query string if you want to use it.

Hey all-
Also note that is:retweet is not available in the sandbox tier.
