IFTTT - Exclude Twitter Retweets

I am using IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/) to fetch Twitter Tweets using the search function with #hashtag to my Discord server. Is there any way to exclude Retweets? Currently the whole server gets spammed with popular tweets, since it also fetches all the Retweets.

Tried studying Twitter API (https://developer.twitter.com/) and using stuff like -RT, exclude:replies and exclude:retweets. None of them worked.

Solution

  • Looks like -RT does work after all. I used quotation marks (as shown in IFTTT's own example) which broke the search function. Instead of using "#hashtag -RT" to fetch all the Tweets without Retweets, you should use #hashtag -RT, without quotation marks. Otherwise it won't fetch the Tweets at all.
