Twitter Importer #175

Closed jcmundy closed 6 years ago

jcmundy commented 6 years ago

I really like the twitter streaming importer plugin, but I am not sure if I am using it entirely correctly. When I load a #hashtag network, it does not always show the actual hashtags that I searched, only the ones to which they are connected. Because I am searching on more than one hashtag that leaves me unsure of the actual hashtag network overlap. Am I inputting something incorrectly? Is there a way to set it so that if I search #gephi and #networkanalysis I could see to which of those the appearing hashtags are connected? Thank you!

@totetmatt may know better

Hiho, Yes it's intended to remove the hashtags that are on the query list. The reason behind is to avoid a 'star' / 'hairball' effect centered on the hashtag in the query (as all of the result will for sure contain it)

But a bug / feature to avoid that is to query your hashtag with the hashtag (#) so for example if you query like this:

#hashtagA 
hashtagB

Then the hashtagA will be kept as a node, whereas hashtagB won't be displayed

Thank you! That works for me.
