@Sotedelan65 your XML is corrupted. Please following the instructions in the KB article (see link to the right of the screen) on how to share it.

 

Also, did you search the Community for similar problems with Twitter?

@Sotedelan65 based on the 2017 date you've entered you ran into the Twitter archive wall. Unless you pay for their Firehose connection, you can't go back more than like 7 days from today into the Twitter stream. 

Sotedelan65

is this means that i can have one search per week??
but i should to search different hashtag from 2017 for my paper.

Thomas_Ott

@Sotedelan65 No you can search every minute if you like, it's just the tweets that are in the past can't be retrieved without paying Twitter for it. The way I work around this, to build a training set, is to run my Twitter searches a few times a week and append a dataset. 

Sotedelan65

so how often can i have historical search without paying to twitter? sorry for series questions. im beginner with rapidminer. thank you.

Thomas_Ott

@Sotedelan65 I would search the web to see if there are any workarounds but all the ones I've found require some sort of $$$ to get historical Twitter data. Sorry.

Sotedelan65

how can i pay that? is there any website?

thanks a lot
