# Stream Configuration

The Twitter Connector can retrieve tweets in one of the following ways:

- through the Twitter search API. The connector retrieves a sample of recent tweets that match a query.
- through the Twitter streaming API, which provides a live stream of data. This means that the connector only retrieves tweets that are created when the `synchronize` action is running.
- from a user's timeline, which provides tweets created by a single user.

The parameters in this section configure the connector to retrieve tweets through the streaming API.
