I'm using Twitter4j's TwitterStream
functionality to receive a stream of a heavily followed Twitter user's tweets, as follows:
...
private void initTwitterStream(AccessToken accessToken) {
twitterStream = new TwitterStreamFactory().getInstance();
twitterStream.setOAuthConsumer(consumerKey, consumerSecret);
twitterStream.setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken);
twitterStream.addListener(createUserStreamListener());
twitterStream.user("realDonaldTrump");
logger.info("Listener initiated; listening for status updates.");
}
private UserStreamListener createUserStreamListener() {
return new UserStreamAdapter() {
public void onStatus(Status status) {
log(status); // logs the tweet author and text
}
};
}
...
The problem I have is that I'm getting updates from anyone who has tagged this user in their tweet. For example:
16:22:02.150 [Twitter4J Async Dispatcher[0]] INFO c.d.i.twitter.TwitterListenerService - Received status update from [foo1234]: @realDonaldTrump never trust a man's perspective of technology after he uses "cyber" as a noun
How do I configure Twitter4j so that I only receive tweets authored by this user, and not tweets that mention him?
