FAQs about the Feedly Twitter integration
How do I get started with the Twitter integration? What can I follow?
Customers with the Feedly for Threat Intelligence or Market Intelligence plans have access to the Twitter integration. Once you’ve connected your Feedly account to Twitter, you can follow accounts, hashtags, searches, or Lists.
Are there limits to the number of tweets I can follow?
Yes. When you purchase an API token on Twitter, it includes a number of tweet read-limit quota. Most of our customers subscribe to the Basic ($100/month) Twitter API plan. That plan will allow you to fetch up to 10,000 tweets per month. This means that you need to ensure that the total volume of tweets you collect across all your Twitter feeds in Feedly needs to be lower than 10,000. Some Twitter Search or Hashtag feeds can have a very high velocity and quickly eat through your quota.
I used the old Feedly Twitter integration. Can I reactivate my old Twitter feeds?
No. Twitter changed its API integration. You will need to manually delete your old Twitter feeds and use the Follow tweets in Feedly twitter tutorial to recreate them. Our customer success team can help you with this task.
Can I follow protected Twitter accounts?
Yes. If the Twitter account you want to follow is protected, make sure the Twitter account you’re using to connect to Feedly follows the protected account.
How do I remove retweets?
Right now, it’s not possible to explicitly remove retweets. If you want to remove retweets from your feeds, our recommendation is to hide retweets from inside your Twitter account. Here’s how.
Do I need to follow both ‘Tweets’ and ‘Tweets with links’ for an account or hashtag?
You only need to follow one. Choose ‘Tweets’, and you’ll get all tweets, with and without links.
Choose ‘Tweets with Links’ to get only tweets that link to external content, like articles or videos.
Can I filter a search further once I follow a hashtag?
Yes. Our advice is to first use Twitter’s advanced search to refine your search. Then, once you’re satisfied with the results, copy and paste the URL of the search into Feedly to create a new source. How to build advanced search queries.
Can I publish to Twitter from Feedly?
No. When you connect your Feedly to your Twitter account, this is a read-only connection allowing your Feedly to read tweets. Feedly doesn’t write any tweets. To share insights from Feedly to Twitter, click the Twitter icon at the top of any article to generate a tweet and share your insights.
Can I follow my own Twitter account?
Yes. If you want to follow the timeline you see when you go to twitter.com, then type “twitter.com/” into the search bar. The timeline of the Twitter account that’s connected to your Feedly account will be pulled into your feeds.
If you want to see your own tweets, you can follow yourself — type your Twitter username into the search bar.
Will every single tweet from that hashtag get pulled into my feeds?
Yes. If you add a hashtag as a source, all the tweets generated for that hashtag get pulled into your feed. If you’re getting too much noise from a hashtag, we recommend training Feedly AI to prioritize or mute certain keywords or topics so that you only see what’s most important to you. While this will reduce the noise, it won’t reduce the number of tweets read by Feedly from a hashtag, only those that show up in your feed.
What’s the limit for articles from Twitter per day?
Feedly has a limit of 1,000 articles per day from each Twitter source.
