We'd like to track tweets that include multiple wildcard handles such as "@CompanyA* @CompanyB*" @CompanyC*". Entering the above in the sample (tweet to excel) flow doesn't work. Using the query "search?q=%40companya*%20%40companyb*%20%40CompanyC*&src=typd" throughs errors and using the query, https://twitter.com/search?q=%40companya*%20%40companyb*%20%40CompanyC*&src=typd" fails too.
What's the correct syntax for this kind of twitter query.
You can provide search terms and operators as mentioned on the following pages:
1. Twitter search page - https://twitter.com/search
2. Twitter's search API documentation - https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/search
One thing to note is that Twitter calls out (in the second link) that the API call will not exactly behave the same way as searching on Twitter's website / mobile clients. So, even though you can search on Twitter.com with multiple mentions like "@instagram @twitter" and get back results, you won't get any through the REST API call. If you switch to a single mention, the flow would work fine though.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Kartik
