Twitter Sensor Node
The twitter sensor node listens to the Twitter accounts of various financial influencers in real-time. When a selected financial influencer tweets, this tweet is added to the message and outputted.
You can send a test message by clicking the square on the left side of the node. It will replay a message that matches your configured filter. If it cannot find such a message, one will be emitted that doesn’t match the filter.
Note, this sensor node also adds image information to the message output that can be later processed.
Configuration
- name optional
- unique name for this node
- subscribed user select
- subscribe to the user you wish to monitor via the dropdown menu
- languages select
- specify the language of the Twitter account if relevant (this can be useful later for natural language processing)
