TDV Adapter for Twitter

Build 22.0.8462

Following

Create, delete, and query a list of users that the current Twitter account is following, otherwise known as friends.

Table Specific Information

Users whom the authenticated user is following will appear here. Additionally, users whom a specified user is following may be viewed from Following.

Select

By default, Following will return users whom the authenticated user is following. By specifying a Following_User_Id or Following_Screen_Name, users whom the specified user is following will be returned.

LookUpUsers refers to looking up additional information on the users returned from Twitter. Normally, only the Ids of users someone is following are returned from Twitter. If LookUpUsers is set to true, additional queries will be made to Twitter to retrieve user details, such as a Screen_Name. LookUpUsers is true by default.

MaxUserLookup refers to the maximum number of users to additionally look up information on. A maximum of 100 user details may be returned from Twitter per request. Setting this value higher will cause details for more users to be returned, but at the cost of additional requests. MaxUserLookup defaults to 100.

Insert

The authenticated user may follow another user by performing an insert based on either the User_Id or the Screen_Name.

Update

The UPDATE operation is not available on this table.

Delete

The authenticated user may stop following another user by performing a delete based on the Id.
