TwitterStreamListener Activity - General Tab

The General tab allows you to specify the stream type. It contains the following fields.

Field Module Property? Description
Name No The name to be displayed for the activity in the process.
OAuth 1.0 Parameters Yes The OAuth 1.0 shared resource includes the authentication parameters that are used to establish a connection with Twitter.

Click the icon to select an OAuth 1.0 shared resource. If no matching OAuth 1.0 shared resources are found, click Create Shared Resource to create one. See Creating an OAuth 1.0 Shared Resource for more details.

StreamType No Selects one stream type that plug-in listens to:
  • PublicStream: Streams of public data flowing through Twitter. Suitable for following specific users or topics, and data mining.
  • UserStream: Single-user streams, containing roughly all of the data corresponding with a single user's view of Twitter.
    Note: User stream is used with multiple listeners with the same user connection. For more details on this, go to https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/userstreams#Connections.
StreamClosingLimit Yes This feature allows you to set the limit on how many tweets can miss when the stream listener is open.

If the number of missed tweets exceeds the specified value, the stream listener closes.

StreamSubType No A filter stream returns public statuses that match one or more filter predicates.
Note: FilterStream has the limitation of not allowing multiple stream listeners with a same user connection to run. If you start a second FilterStream with the same user connection after the first one is already open, the first FilterStream listener closes. For more details on this behavior, see https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/userstreams#Connections.
