Receive tweets
From a single Twitter account
You can follow a specific Twitter account using this command:
/add @accountName
Example: /add @elonmusk
Pros:
- no need to have a Twitter account
- can receive replies
From a Twitter list
To receive the tweets from a Twitter list, use this command:
/add_twitter_list [listID] [accountName]
For example, to subscribe the bot to this list:
https://twitter.com/i/lists/1461248048525414405,
type:
/add_twitter_list 1461248048525414405 FeedReaderBot
Here the "FeedReaderBot" parameter is the name of the account that owns the list.
Pros:
- unlimited accounts can be added to the list
Cons:
- can't receive replies
- may miss some tweets if the list has a lot of accounts
From a search
Use the following command to subscribe the bot to a twitter search:
/add #keyword
For example, to receive the tweets containing the word "bitcoin":
/add #bitcoin
or, for advanced search queries using AND/OR:
/add #(bitcoin AND ethereum)
For Premium & Elite subscribers
Use your own Twitter API key
If you are a Twitter developer subscriber, and have a Basic plan subscription, then you can use your API key to get fast Twitter feeds.
First, open the
Twitter developer portal website, and access your project's "Keys and tokens" page:
The bot needs the "Bearer token". Generate one if you don't already have one, and copy the token.
Then, go the
Bridge2 website, and open the Twitter bridge:
Enter the username of the account you want to receive tweets from, paste the Bearer token you copied before, and select if you want to receive replies and retweets. Then click on "Display", and in the next screen click on "copy command". Paste this command into the bot's chat window to subscribe to this feed.
For Elite subscribers: very fast refresh
If you want to receive tweets in a few minutes or seconds, specific twitter feeds can be configured. See the monthly prices, per feed, here:
