tweetinvi: AddFollow() does nothing in 4.0 and throws a TwitterException in 5.0 (Filtered Streams)
Hi!
“AddTrack” works for a filtered stream, but “AddFollow” does not. All I’m trying to do is get an event when “Reuters” tweets something. Here is the repro.
- Use real credentials in Auth.SetUserCredentials()
- Start the program. Notice no tweets received (Reuters tweets every few minutes). Stop the program.
- If you uncomment the AddTrack, you’ll notice you start getting tweets for “software”. However, you still never get tweets from Reuters.
using System;
using System.Threading;
using Tweetinvi;
using Tweetinvi.Models;
namespace TweetinviTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ExceptionHandler.SwallowWebExceptions = false;
TweetinviConfig.CurrentThreadSettings.TweetMode = TweetMode.Extended;
Auth.SetUserCredentials("removed", "removed", "removed", "removed");
var stream = Stream.CreateFilteredStream();
//stream.AddTrack("software"); // This works!
stream.AddFollow(new UserIdentifier("Reuters")); // This does NOT work
stream.MatchingTweetReceived += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine(args.Tweet.FullText);
stream.StartStreamMatchingAnyCondition();
Thread.Sleep(Int32.MaxValue);
}
}
}
In the latest 5.0.0 version, the below code throws the TwitterException with Message: “No filter parameters found. Expect at least one parameter: follow track locations”. Is it possible to only receive tweets from a single user like this?
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Tweetinvi;
using Tweetinvi.Models;
namespace TweetinviTest
{
class Program
{
public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
var credentials = new TwitterCredentials("removed", "removed", "removed", "removed");
var client = new TwitterClient(credentials);
var stream = client.Streams.CreateFilteredStream();
stream.AddFollow(new UserIdentifier("Reuters"));
stream.MatchingTweetReceived += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine("Reuters tweet: " + args.Tweet.FullText);
await stream.StartMatchingAnyConditionAsync(); // throws TwitterException with Message "No filter parameters found. Expect at least one parameter: follow track locations"
}
}
}
Thank you!

I do agree with you @gabenotgave streaming is an essential feature, and all my dev work is dependent on it.
Really hope this issue can be solved soon, @linvi. Project won’t work without it lol.
@NorthwestAlpineSystems thanks for sharing, I will be looking into this.
