This Snap streams the Tweets based on the search keyword for the authenticated user. Streamed Tweets are written to the output view and are available for downstream Snaps immediately. The output format is JSON.

• Expected upstream Snaps: [None].
• Expected downstream Snaps: Any file formatter, followed by File Writer. A Structure Snap can be used to carry forward only required fields for downstream Snaps.
• Expected input: Search keyword and timeout in seconds is required. Time out can be 0 for never or any non-zero value.
• Expected output: Tweets containing given search keyword.

The keyword to be searched on Twitter. 

Required. The time out parameter for streaming Tweets on Twitter.

This setting may be used to control the behavior of this Snap in terms of the number of seconds it should listen for Tweets to be pushed from Twitter. If left at the default of 60 seconds, the Snap will wait 60 seconds before gracefully shutting down (and depending on the configuration of the overall pipeline, may cause the entire pipeline to stop). Longer durations may be used, as may a number of 0 (zero). If you use 0, the Snap will run indefinitely, waiting on incoming Tweets, and the Snap will not terminate itself. To stop a pipeline which is listening indefinitely, the "Stop Pipeline Execution" functionality should be used in the Designer or Dashboard. In the event of receiving a termination instruction, the Snap will stop listening and close its connection to Twitter, before closing its output stream and stopping. Any downstream Snaps will also be terminated and their connections closed.

Default: 60
