# StreamType

The type of stream to ingest tweets from.

`statuses/filter` | A filtered stream of tweets that match one or more queries (with parameters such as search keywords, geographic location, language, or user). To configure queries with the Twitter V2 API, use the parameter FilteredStreamRule. With the Twitter V1 API, the connector retrieves any tweet that matches Language (if set) and FilterLevel, and at least one of the parameters Follow, Location, or Track.
`statuses/sample` | A random sample of tweets. With the Twitter V2 API, the connector retrieves a random sample of public tweets. The Language, FilterLevel, Follow, Location, and Track parameters are ignored. With the Twitter V1 API, the connector retrieves a random sample of public tweets that match both Language (if set) and FilterLevel. The Follow, Location, and Track parameters are ignored.
