Best way to call Twitter API in BODS 4.0?

Former Member

Hi community

We are facing the challenge to call Twitter data in BODS 4.0 via the official rest API (GET search/tweets | Twitter Developers). I found many articles on the web, but none of them could provide an end-to-end solution. In the most cases you need to build your own JSON-adapter. Is there no easier way to connect to twitter with our prerequisites? Such as creating an ordinary webservice datastore with an xml request structure?

We also pursued the following solution:

Blog: Sharknado Social Media Analysis with SAP ... | SAP HANA

But the problem seems to be, that they are using a custom transform. But since our lincence does not provide any data quality transforms (which contains the custom transform) this is not a proper solution in our case.

Can anyone help?

Kind regards

Follow the steps from the below document. Before importing the ATL file you need to make sure that you have a Twitter Application created and generate the security tokens.

You will have to get a Data Quality License for accessing the User Defined transform as Python code is only available and can be used in UDT.
