Twitter4j : Search for public tweets

twitter, twitter4j

Solution

You need to register your app for Twitter. You can only do that if you have your own private account. After you obtain `ConsumerKey`, `ConsumerSecret`, `AccessToken` and `AccessTokenSecret` (they will be presented to you afret you register your application), the simplest solution is to change the code to the following example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
    cb.setDebugEnabled(true)
          .setOAuthConsumerKey("yourConsumeKey")
          .setOAuthConsumerSecret("yourConsumerSecret")
          .setOAuthAccessToken("yourAccessToken")
          .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("yourTokenSecret");
    TwitterFactory tf = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
    Twitter twitter = tf.getInstance();
        try {
            Query query = new Query("query");
            QueryResult result;
            result = twitter.search(query);
            List<Status> tweets = result.getTweets();
            for (Status tweet : tweets) {
                System.out.println("@" + tweet.getUser().getScreenName() + " - " + tweet.getText());
            }

            System.exit(0);
        } catch (TwitterException te) {
            te.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println("Failed to search tweets: " + te.getMessage());
            System.exit(-1);
        }
}
