# Track

You can use the `Track` parameter to retrieve tweets that match specific keywords or phrases. This parameter accepts a comma separated list of terms. Alternatively, you can set numbered parameters (`Track0`, `Track1`, and so on).

A tweet is retrieved when all of the words in any term are found in the tweet. For example, if you set `Track=Artificial Intelligence,Software,IDOL`, the connector retrieves:

- any tweet that contains the words “Artificial” and “Intelligence”, in any order.
- any tweet that contains the word “Software”.
- any tweet that contains the word “IDOL”.

This parameter is case-insensitive, so if you specify the term `Software`, the connector will also retrieve tweets that contain `software` or `SOFTWARE`.

For more information about how to select the tweets to retrieve, refer to the Twitter API documentation.

NOTE: To retrieve information from a filtered stream through the Twitter V2 API, OpenText recommends that you set the parameter FilteredStreamRule instead.

Use this parameter to retrieve data from the Twitter V1 API when you set `StreamType=statuses/filter`. The connector then retrieves any tweet that matches Language (if set) and FilterLevel, and at least one of the parameters Follow, Location, or Track.
