X/Twitter Search (Exa)

Tool

Use exec to call: mcporter call exa-search.web_search_advanced_exa category=tweet <params>

Always include category=tweet.

Critical Filter Restrictions

The tweet category has very limited filter support. These params cause errors:

Param	Status
`includeText`	NOT SUPPORTED — 400 error
`excludeText`	NOT SUPPORTED — 400 error
`includeDomains`	NOT SUPPORTED — 400 error
`excludeDomains`	NOT SUPPORTED — 400 error
`moderation`	NOT SUPPORTED — 500 error

Use the query string itself to filter content — put keywords, hashtags, and exclusions in query.

Supported Parameters

query, numResults, type
Date: startPublishedDate, endPublishedDate, startCrawlDate, endCrawlDate
Content: textMaxCharacters, enableHighlights, enableSummary
additionalQueries — for hashtag variations
livecrawl=preferred — for recent tweets
