Hi,<\/p>\n

In the last blog, we saw how to retrieve the tweets from user timeline which the user has marked as favorite using Twitter4j java wrapper for making twitter API calls.<\/p>\n

In the same grails project, i had the requirement to fetch all the tweets in which the current user in mentioned in the tweet text. I searched about it and found a easy way to do so using the same java library and thought it worth sharing.<\/p>\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
For making any twitter API calls we need to have twitter account access_token<\/strong> and access_secret<\/strong>, which we obtains after authorizing\/connecting twitter account with the application as mentioned in this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
Code to fetch mentions tweets of twitter user :-<\/strong><\/p>\n
[java]
\n            TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory()
\n            Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance()
\n            twitter.setOAuthConsumer(consumerKey, consumerSecret)
\n            AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(twitterToken, twitterSecret)
\n            twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken)<\/p>\n
            int totalTweets = page * 20
\n            Paging paging = new Paging(1, totalTweets)
\n            List tweets = twitter.getMentions(paging)
\n            tweets.each {tweet ->
\n                     println "ID : ${tweet.id}"
\n                     println "User : ${tweet.user.screenName}"
\n                     println "Tweet : ${tweet.text}"
\n         }
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n
So, this code will fetch the latest 20 tweets in which username is mentioned in the text.<\/p>\n
Hope this helps.<\/p>\n
