Intro

The Domo Twitter V2 Connector integrates Domo with Twitter to extract data from the Twitter API. It provides access to read Twitter data, including user tweets, user mentioned tweets and many other Twitter entities, and returns data based on the provided Twitter user name. Once your Twitter data is in Domo, you can use your data to measure your social media ROI with visualizations in intuitive dashboards and apps. Get the most out of your marketing budget by measuring your social media engagement during different time periods, detect cross-platform engagement trends, and better understand your target audience. You can also track your top posts across social media platforms, rate and filter your top posts, and identify other patterns to help you create engaging content. To learn more about the Twitter API, visit their site (https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public).

You connect to your Twitter account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Twitter V2 connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Twitter account and create a DataSet, you must have your Twitter API key and API secret.

Connecting to Your Twitter Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Twitter V2 Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Twitter account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:  

Field

Description
API Key Enter your Twitter API key.

Once you have entered valid Twitter credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Twitter V2 DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
