How to search for multiple twitter ids in one request using twitter4j library

How to search for multiple twitter ids in one request using twitter4j library. Even using in clause in Search parameter would be helpful. Please help!

Solution

  • Please find some sample code below to fetch tweets based on tweet_ids. Like other twitter API's, this API is also rate limited, in a single call you can fetch status only for 100 ids. Check the documentation for more details. Also use latest version of twitter4j lib.

    ConfigurationBuilder config = new ConfigurationBuilder();
config.setOAuthConsumerKey("consumerKey");
config.setOAuthConsumerSecret("consumerSecret");
config.setOAuthAccessToken("accessToken");
config.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("accessSecret");

Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(config.build()).getInstance();
long ids[] = new long [3];
ids[0] = 568363361278296064l;
ids[1] = 568378166512726017l;
ids[2] = 570544187394772992l;

ResponseList<Status> statuses = twitter.lookup(ids);

for (Status status : statuses) {
    System.out.println(status.getText());
}
