Introduction

Meet the operators responsible for collecting specific tweets and replies 

Network operators represent the feature that enables the collection of only organic and public posts from a profile, such as comments made on a page or specific to a post. 

In the case of Twitter, only posts and replies are collected. The collection performed by the operators is sample-based due to API limitations, with the exception of the operator twitterid:.

 

How to use?

The operators are inserted within the groups and themes of the Search Configuration, and each one has a specific character. Understand the differences between them:

Access the Configuration area through the side menu or the card:

 

 

twitterid:

Operator What does it collect? How to include?
twitterid:  Posts made on a profile from the moment when the operator is registered.  After the colon (:), you need to enter the profile ID from which you want to collect the posts.

 

At the time the operator is registered in the search, the system can include the latest 200 posts from the last 2 days. 

Next, two different situations may occur for retrospective collection:

1. When the specific post is not in the STILINGUE database.

In this case, the publication (within the limitations described above) will be included in the search. 

2. When the specific post is in the STILINGUE database.

If the publication is already in the database, it will not be included in the search. This publication may have entered through other searches for similar terms. Therefore, the collection guarantee will apply to publications made after the operator's registration.

Note: Publication collection only occurs when network operators are inserted into Groups. By inserting them into Themes, they take on the role of classifying the content collected by descriptors contained in Groups. Learn more about other operators specific to classification in the guide.

Important! To ensure page collection in Listening, it is necessary to use the ID descriptor within the Group. It is not required to be in the profiles, as they serve different functions.

Remember:

  • Add Profiles: it enters the search only if there is a match with any descriptor of the groups;
  • Network Operator: collects all profile's publications. When inserted in a group, it collects everything it covers and ensures the match with the specified group.

Within the search, the operator looks like this:

To locate the Twitter profile ID, follow these steps: 

1. Copy the profile link you want to gather:

 

2.  Next, enter this link and paste only the username, without the "@" symbol:

https://tweeterid.com/

 

3. When you locate the ID, you should paste the numeric sequence after the colon: 

Attention! Be careful when copying video, post, and comment IDs directly from URLs. Do not include the symbols "&" or "/" next to the numeric or letter sequence from the URL. These characters hinder collection when added immediately after the operator. 

twitterrepliesid: 

Operator What does it collect? How to include?
twitterrepliesid:  The replies made to a profile from the date the operator is registered. This collection is sample-based. After the colon (:), it is necessary to enter the profile ID for which you want to collect comments.

 

At the time the operator is registered in the survey, the system can include the replies from the last 2 days. 

Next, two different situations may occur for retrospective collection:

1. When the reply in question is not in the STILINGUE database.

In this case, the reply (within the limitations described above) will be included in the survey. 

2. When the reply in question is in the STILINGUE database

If the reply is already in the database, it will not be included in the search. This reply may have entered through other searches for similar terms. Therefore, the collection guarantee will apply to replies made after the operator's registration.

Within the research, the operator looks like this: 

To locate the ID, follow the same procedure as the previous operator, through the link:

https://tweeterid.com/

twitterrepliespid: 

Operator What does it collect? How to include?
twitterrepliespid:  The replies made to a specific tweet from the date the operator is registered. The collection is done on a sample basis. After the colon (:), you need to enter the tweet ID for which you want to collect comments.

 

At the time the operator is registered in the survey, the system can include the replies from the last 2 days. 

Next, two different situations may occur for retrospective collection:

1. When the reply in question is not in the STILINGUE database.

In this case, the reply (within the limitations described above) will be included in the survey. 

2. When the reply in question is in the STILINGUE database

If the reply is already in the database, it will not be included in the search. This reply may have come from other searches seeking similar terms. Therefore, the guarantee of collection will apply to the replies made after the operator's registration.

Note: this operator is a sample (like all others related to Twitter, except twitterid:) and is responsible for monitoring the replies of the publication's author, as well as categorizing the replies of the registered publication.

Within the research, the operator looks like this: 

To find the ID of a specific tweet, and consequently collect its replies, simply identify the sequence of numbers that appears in the link:
