Twitter PowerTrack Operators

The following operators are available to filter the Twitter firehose via PowerTrack. These operators will match specific types of Tweets, and can be combined using standard PowerTrack syntax.

Operator

Description

bio_location:

Matches tweets where the user's bio-level location contains the specified keyword or phrase. This operator performs a tokenized match, similar to the normal keyword rules on the message body. The user bio location is a non-normalized, user-generated, free-form string.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
bio_location:"boulder"	actor.location.displayname:Boulder actor.location.displayname:Boulder, CO actor.location.displayname:Boulder Colorado actor.location.displayname:Beautiful Boulder, CO	actor.location.displayname:BoCo actor.location.displayname:Boulderado actor.location.displayname:Colorado

friends_count:

Matches tweets where the author has a friends count (the number of users they follow) that falls within the given range. If a single number is specified, any number equal to or higher will match. Additionally, a range can be specified to match any number in the given range.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
friends_count:1000	Tweets (from user) that have friends_count:1000 or more	Tweets (from user) that have friends_count:999 or less
friends_count:1000..10000	Tweets (from user) that have friends_count:1000 Tweets (from user) that have friends_count:6814 Tweets (from user) that have friends_count:10000	Tweets (from user) that have friends_count:999 or less Tweets (from user) that have friends_count:10001 or more

url_contains:

Matches activities with URLs that literally contain the given phrase or keyword. To search for patterns with punctuation in them (i.e. google.com) enclose the search term in quotes. NOTE: If you're using Gnip's Enriched output format, we will match against Gnip's expanded URL as well.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
url_contains:gnip	http://support.gnip.com/ https://github.com/abh1nav/gnippy	https://gn.ip.com
url_contains:"how-to"	https://www.coachella.com/how-to-purchase/

twitter_lang:

Matches tweets that have been classified by Twitter as being of a particular language (if, and only if, the tweet has been classified). It is important to note that each activity is currently only classified as being of one language, so AND'ing together multiple languages will yield no results. **Note:** if no language classification can be made the provided result is 'und' (for undefined). The list below represents the current supported languages and their corresponding BCP 47 language indentifier:

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
twitter_lang:fr	"C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer!"	"Nice to meet you!"

retweets_of_status_id:

Deliver only explicit retweets of the specified Tweet. Note that the status ID used should be the ID of an original tweet and not a retweet. If extracting the ID of an original Tweet from within a Retweet for this purpose, look in the object.id field in Activity Streams format.

Gnip Rule	Match
retweets_of_status_id:365697420392280064	Retweets of the Tweet with status 365697420392280064
retweets_of:gnip -retweets_of_status_id:365697420392280064	Retweets of Gnip, except for retweets of the specified Tweet status.

place_contains:

Matches tweets where the tagged place/location contains a given substring. Place names are semi-normalized by Twitter application but there can be many variations. A substring match allows you to easily match across variations.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
place_contains:USA	Tweets that are geo-tagged with place.name:Colorado, USA Tweets that are geo-tagged with place.name:Louisiana, USA	Tweets where place:null

has:media

Matches Tweets that contain a media url classified by Twitter, e.g. pic.twitter.com.
WARNING: Use this operator with care. Used by itself, with no other limiting clauses, it can generate large amounts of volume. Currently, this will deliver double digit percentages of the firehose when used by itself.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
has:media	(Any Tweets that contain a media url as classified by Twitter including images and videos)

in_reply_to_status_id:

Deliver only explicit replies to the specified Tweet.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
in_reply_to_status_id:365697420392280064	Replies to the Tweet with status 365697420392280064.
to:gnip -in_reply_to_status_id:365697420392280064	Replies to (rather than general @ mentions of) gnip, except for replies to the Tweet with status 365697420392280064

statuses_count:

Matches tweets where the author has posted a number of statuses that falls within the given range. If a single number is specified, any number equal to or higher will match. Additionally, a range can be specified to match any number in the given range.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
statuses_count:1000	Tweets (from user) that have statuses_count:1000 or more	Tweets (from user) that have statuses_count:999 or less
statuses_count:1000..10000	Tweets (from user) that have statuses_count:1000 Tweets (from user) that have statuses_count:6814 Tweets (from user) that have statuses_count:10000	Tweets (from user) that have statuses_count:999 or less Tweets (from user) that have statuses_count:10001 or more

contains:

Substring match for activities that have the given substring in the body, regardless of tokenization. In other words, this does a pure substring match, and does not consider word boundaries. Use double quotes to match substrings that contain whitespace or punctuation.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
contains:phone	Where is my phone? That's a telephone	Pongo la telephono. What is the ph0ne number?
contains:"$TWTR"	How much is $TWTR stock? How much is $TWTRstock? Headlines with $GOOG$TWTR$FB today	Just setting up my TWTR Just setting up my $ TWTR

sample:

Returns a random sample of activities that match a rule rather than the entire set of activities. Sample percent must be represented by an integer value between 1 and 100. This operator applies to the entire rule and requires any "OR'd" terms be grouped. **Important Note:** The sample operator first reduces the scope of the firehose to X%, which then the rest of the rule is applied to. Each Tweet individually (of all tweets) has a 10% chance of being in a 10% sample, or 1%chance:1%sample, 50%chance:50%sample, etc. The sample is applied before the rule is applied to the sample. Also, the sampling is deterministic, and you will get the same data sample in realtime as you would if you pulled the data historically.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
dog sample:50	All of the Tweets matching the keyword dog within the 50% firehose sample.
(dog OR cat) sample:25	All of the Tweets matching the keyword cat or the keyword dog within the 25% firehose sample.
sample:2	2% of all tweets (Note:This is a stand alone rule for 1-10% sample)

has:profile_geo

Matches tweets that have any [Profile Geo](http://support.gnip.com/enrichments/profile_geo.html) metadata, regardless of the actual value.

Gnip Rule	Match
cat has:profile_geo	If account is enabled for the Profile-Geo Enrichment, this will match any Tweets that mentions the word “cat” and has any Gnip Profile Geo metadata derived from the user's bio "location".	Tweets from accounts that do not have a bio "location" entered by the user

has:geo

Matches Tweets that have Tweet-specific geo location data provided from Twitter. This can be either "geo" lat-long coordinate, or a "location" in the form of a Twitter ["Place"](https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/places), with corresponding display name, geo polygon, and other fields. WARNING: Use this operator with care, it can generate large amounts of volume. Currently, this will deliver 1-4% of the firehose independently.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
sale has:geo	Any Tweets with geolocation data, either an exact lat/lon or a named "place", that also have the keyword 'sale' in the body of the Tweet	Tweets that have keyword 'sale' but do not have a place/location
sale -has:geo	Tweets that have keyword 'sale' that do not have a place/location

profile_locality:

Matches on the "locality" field from the "address" object in the Profile Geo enrichment. This is an exact full string match. It is not necessary to escape characters with a backslash. For example, if matching something with a slash, use "one/two", not "one\/two". Use double quotes to match substrings that contain whitespace or punctuation.

Gnip Rule	Match
profile_locality:boulder	All Profile Geo Enrichments in ANY city named "Boulder"

bio_location_contains:

Matches Tweets where the user's bio-level location contains the specified substring. The user bio location is a non-normalized, user-generated, free-form string. **Warning**: use of broad or common locations strings can result in the consumption of large volumes of data (e.g. a bio_location_contains:"MA" rule with hopes of matching all tweets from Massachusetts, will also match "Alabama"). The addition of punctuation (e.g. ", MA" or ",MA") could help limit this data.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match
bio_location_contains:"AZ"	actor.location.displayname:Pheonix, AZ actor.location.displayname:Beautiful Pheonix, AZ actor.location.displayname:Aztec Ruins	actor.location.displayname:Arizona actor.location.displayname:USA

bio_lang:

Matches tweets where the user's bio-level language setting matches a given ISO 639-1 language code. Twitter does not support all languages in this list NOTE: This language setting simply changes the language which Twitter displays its UI text (it does not translate Tweet text). THIS IS NOT A LANGUAGE CLASSIFICATION. Customers have reported that this setting is often left in its default of English even when the Tweets an account is generating are in a foreign language. We recommend its use in conjunction with Gnip’s language classification operator (lang) rather than a standalone indicator of a user or Tweet’s language.

Gnip Rule	Match	No Match

keyword

Matches a keyword within the body of an activity. This is a tokenized match, meaning that your keyword string will be matched against the tokenized text of the activity body -- tokenization is based on punctuation, symbol, and separator Unicode basic plane characters. For example, an activity with the text "I like coca-cola" would be split into the following tokens: I, like, coca, cola. These tokens would then be compared to the keyword string used in your rule. To match strings containing punctuation (e.g. coca-cola), symbol, or separator characters, you must use a quoted exact match as described below.
