Twitter Search Video



Record: You can record, edit and share videos from the Twitter app (Twitter for iPhone or Twitter for Android OS 4.1 and higher). Import: If you use the Twitter for iPhone or iPad app, you can import videos from your device. Upload: You can upload videos to twitter.com. Go live: Learn how to create a live video right from your Twitter app. Twitter provides video hosting for some videos uploaded to Twitter (i.e., pic.twitter.com videos) as well as those posted to Periscope. Please note that Twitter is not the sole video provider for videos that may appear on the Twitter platform. Start broad, then make your search terms more and more specific. You can then filter your results by the usual tabs: if it’s a popular Tweet (“Top”), a recent Tweet (“Live”), a person (“Accounts”), or if the Tweet contained media (“Photos” or “Videos”).

Twitter Search Video

Search for specific Tweets, accounts, or ongoing conversations

Twitter Search Video

Tamil

There are many ways to use search on Twitter. You can find Tweets from yourself, friends, local businesses, and everyone from well-known entertainers to global political leaders. By searching for topic keywords or hashtags, you can follow ongoing conversations about breaking news or personal interests.

Twitter search has video

We give you control over what you see in your search results through safe search mode. These filters exclude potentially sensitive content, along with accounts you have muted or blocked, from your search results. You have the option to turn it off, or back on, at any time (instructions outlined below).

When you’re signed in to your account on the web, using search is slightly different than using it via the Twitter for iOS or Android apps. You can find instructions for both below.

  1. Tap the Explore tab
  2. At the top of the page, enter your search into the search box and tap Search.
  3. Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
  4. Filter your results by tapping Top, Latest, People, Photos, Videos, News, or Broadcasts (located at the top of your search results).
  5. Tap the filter icon in the search bar to refine your results according to All people or People you follow, and Everywhere or Near you.

Note: Safe search settings allow you to filter your search results to exclude potentially sensitive content and/or accounts you have muted or blocked from your results. You can adjust this setting by logging in to your account on twitter.com and using the Search from the web instructions. Your settings will apply to searches on the web, in your iOS app, and in Twitter for Android.

  1. Tap the Explore tab
  2. Enter your search into the search box and tap Search.
  3. Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
  4. Filter your results by tapping Top, Latest, People, Photos, Videos, or News, or Periscopes (located at the top of your search results).
  5. Tap the filter icon in the search bar to refine your results according to From anyone or People you follow, and Anywhere or Near you.
  6. Tap the overflow icon to access Search settings. Safe search allows you to filter your search results with two options:
    1. Excluding potentially sensitive content from results: To disable this setting, uncheck the box next to Hide sensitive content to turn off.
    2. Excluding accounts you have muted or blocked: To disable this setting, uncheck the box next to Remove blocked and muted accounts to turn off.

Note: To learn more about tailoring your search options and results, read our article about advanced search.

  1. Enter your search query into the search box at the top of the page.
  2. Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
  3. Filter your results by clicking Top, Latest, People, Photos, or Videos (located at the top of your search results).
  4. Click the Search filters options to filter your results From anyone or People you follow, and Anywhere or Near you. Additionally, you can select a different language or perform an Advanced search.
  5. Click the more icon on the right hand side of the search results page for more options:
    1. Click Search settings to disable (or re-enable) safe search to filter your search results:
    2. Safe search settings include Hide sensitive content and Remove blocked and muted accounts. Uncheck the box to disable either setting, you may re-enable at any time. Note: This setting may take several minutes to go into effect.
    3. Click Save this search to save your search term.
    4. Click Embed this search to create a search widget for a website. Find more information in our developer documentation.

Building standard queries

Standard

The best way to build a standard query and test if it’s valid and will return matched Tweets is to first try it at twitter.com/search. As you get a satisfactory result set, the URL loaded in the browser will contain the proper query syntax that can be reused in the standard search API endpoint. Here’s an example:

  1. We want to search for Tweets referencing @TwitterDev account. First, we run the search on twitter.com/search
  2. Check and copy the URL loaded. In this case, we got: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40twitterdev
  3. Replace https://twitter.com/search with https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json and you will get: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=%40twitterdev
  4. Run a Twurl command to execute the search.

Twitter Search Google

Please note that the API requires that the request be authenticated (check Authentication & Authorization documentation for more details on this). Note that the standard search API only serves data from the last week. If you need historical data odler than seven days, check out the premium and enterprise search APIs.

Standard search operators

Twitter Search Free

The query can have operators that modify its behavior. the available operators are:

OperatorFinds Tweets...
watching nowcontaining both “watching” and “now”. This is the default operator.
“happy hour”containing the exact phrase “happy hour”.
love OR hatecontaining either “love” or “hate” (or both).
beer -rootcontaining “beer” but not “root”.
#haikucontaining the hashtag “haiku”.
from:interiorsent from Twitter account “interior”.
list:NASA/astronauts-in-space-nowsent from a Twitter account in the NASA list astronauts-in-space-now
to:NASAa Tweet authored in reply to Twitter account “NASA”.
@NASAmentioning Twitter account “NASA”.
politics filter:safecontaining “politics” with Tweets marked as potentially sensitive removed.
puppy filter:mediacontaining “puppy” and an image or video.
puppy -filter:retweetscontaining “puppy”, filtering out retweets
puppy filter:native_videocontaining “puppy” and an uploaded video, Amplify video, Periscope, or Vine.
puppy filter:periscopecontaining “puppy” and a Periscope video URL.
puppy filter:vinecontaining “puppy” and a Vine.
puppy filter:imagescontaining “puppy” and links identified as photos, including third parties such as Instagram.
puppy filter:twimgcontaining “puppy” and a pic.twitter.com link representing one or more photos.
hilarious filter:linkscontaining “hilarious” and linking to URL.
puppy url:amazoncontaining “puppy” and a URL with the word “amazon” anywhere within it.

movie -scary :)containing “movie”, but not “scary”, and with a positive attitude.
flight :(containing “flight” and with a negative attitude.
traffic ?containing “traffic” and asking a question.

Please, make sure to URL encode these queries before making the request. There are several online tools to help you to do that, or you can search at twitter.com/search and copy the encoded URL from the browser’s address bar. The table below shows some example mappings from search queries to URL encoded queries:

Twitter Search Video
Search queryURL encoded query
#haiku #poetry%23haiku+%23poetry
“happy hour” :)%22happy%20hour%22%20%3A%29

Note that the space character can be represented by “%20” or “+” sign.

Additional parameters

There is a set of additional parameters that allows a better control of the search results. The GET search/tweets documentation has detailed information about the usage of the parameters, this section will only give a brief description of their capabilities:

  • Result Type: just like twitter.com/search results, the result_type parameter selects whether the result set will be represented by recent or popular Tweets, or even a mix of both.
  • Geolocalization: the search operator “near” isn’t available in the API, but there is a more precise way to restrict your query by a given location using the geocode parameter specified with the template “latitude,longitude,radius”, for example, “37.781157,-122.398720,1mi”. When conducting geo searches, the search API will first attempt to find Tweets which have lat/long within the queried geocode, and in case of not having success, it will attempt to find Tweets created by users whose profile location can be reverse geocoded into a lat/long within the queried geocode, meaning that is possible to receive Tweets which do not include lat/long information.
  • Language: the lang parameter restricts Tweets to the given language.
  • Iterating in a result set: parameters such count, until, since_id, max_id control iteration through search results, since it could be a large set of Tweets. The Working with Timelines documentation is a rich and illustrative tutorial to learn how to use these parameters to achieve the best efficiency and reliability when processing result sets.
