Poll Metadata
Poll metadata is a free enrichment available across all products (Realtime & Historical APIs) in Original format payloads. The metadata notes the presence of the poll in a Tweet, includes the list of poll choices, and includes both the poll duration and expiration time. This enrichment makes it easy to acknowledge the presence of a poll and enables proper rendering of a poll Tweet for display.
Important Details:
- Available across all Gnip APIs (PowerTrack, Replay, Search, Historical PowerTrack)
- Note: For Replay and Historical PowerTrack, this metadata will be first available starting 02/22/17 - see documented enrichment availability.
- Does not include vote information or poll results
- Does not currently have filter/operator support
- Available in Original format only
- Output format is a user controlled setting that can be changed at any time through the Console: Select a Product (PowerTrack, Replay, Search) > Settings tab > Output Format
