Twitter user_timeline using postman power BI
Problem 1:
I am using Postman to get User_Timeline from Twitter. I am using OAuth 1 as specified by youtube. I am able to fetch the data I need but 24 hrs later I am forced to update the power query with a new OAuth signature from Postman. I did not find any article where I can prevent doing these changes daily and keep it static. Need help here, want to find is there any way I can get Twitter user_Timeline data? If postman, then how do I prevent updating the OAuth every day?
Problem 2:
I am able to fetch only 200 records, how do I fetch multiple records from Twitter to PBI using postman? (User_timeline only)
Hi skipper ,
Problem 1:
As far as I know from the official Twitter Developer document, it seems to be inevitable.
"Note: the 24-hour request limit is based on a rolling clock, beginning at the time of the first request and monitored for the next 24 hours."
Problem 2:
"This method can only return up to 3,200 of a user's most recent Tweets."
You can try to add offset parameter in postman about API pagination.
Please refer this simliar issue: How to send more than 100 records using API?
