Understanding about Twitter Search API

[pravakar_p]

I am working on a Twitter connector and would like to know more about the standard search api. Below are couple of my queries

1. is the api different for Standard and Enterprise? Or I can just implement the same api and based on credentials it will have different result?
2. Is the metadata constant for result of search api? Is there a swagger file available for the search api implementation?
3. Is there any api available for getting the metadata for search results?

Hi @pravakar_p - Please make sure to review our documentation on the Search API where you can find the information you’ll need to get started.

1. The standard version of the API is part of Twitter’s public and free APIs. This will return recent Tweets published in the past 7 days only. Twitter also offers a premium version of this API (both free and paid options, depending on how much access you require). With it, you can access Tweets from the last 30 days or from as early as 2006. With the enterprise API , you can get even more access. The enterprise version offers full-fidelity data, direct account management support, and dedicated technical support to help with integration strategy.

2. You’ll notice that the standard payload is different from the premium and enterprise payloads. Please refer to the API Reference pages of our documentation for examples of the different payload responses.

3. Could you clarify what you mean by “metadata for search results”? Are you looking for the actual results of a search query that you have in mind, or are you looking for a list of search queries that people have tried to search with previously? Again, please also make sure to read through our documentation for answers to your questions.

Hi @Aurelia - thanks for your response.

1. By metadata I mean - when I do a search using api, the fields that will be coming in the response results are constant?
2. Also when you say there is a free version of the premium api, do I need to follow any particular process for accessing the same?

Hi,

Can I get any response here? More importantly for the 2nd point, would like to understand if I can use the premium api? What are the restrictions on the free version of the premium api? Any documents around it?

Hi there, our team is distributed around the globe and we may not always be able to answer a question within a 10 or 11hr timeframe. We have different schedules and sometimes it may take a few days. Thanks for your patience! This is a community forum, not a direct channel to technical support.

You can read more about premium search here.

The sandbox free version of the premium search API offers lower request limits per month, and no counts endpoint. It also lack enrichments. See this page for more information.
