The Twitter Connector can retrieve tweets in one of the following ways:
through the Twitter search API. The connector retrieves a sample of recent tweets that match a query.
through the Twitter streaming API, which provides a live stream of data. This means that the connector only retrieves tweets that are created when the synchronize action is running.
from a user's timeline, which provides tweets created by a single user.
The parameters in this section configure the connector to retrieve tweets from a user's timeline.
