How to Use the Twitter API to Create a Hashtag Search Bot
Blog post from Postman
During the Postman Galaxy virtual conference, a Postman developer advocate devised a method to automatically collect tweets with the #PostmanGalaxy hashtag and send them to a Slack channel by creatively using a combination of the Twitter API, Postman API, and Slack Incoming Webhooks. The challenge involved working within the limitations of Twitter's Standard API track, which necessitated chaining requests to pair user IDs with Twitter handles. The process also involved overcoming Slack's character limit by looping through tweets and sending them individually. Automation was achieved using Postman's monitoring feature to regularly fetch new tweets and update the Slack channel without manual intervention, ensuring continuous updates throughout the conference. The advocate shared insights and instructions for replicating this automated Twitter hashtag search bot, encouraging others to adapt it for tracking their favorite hashtagged tweets.
