Binding support

This component supports both input and output binding interfaces.

This component supports output binding with the following operations:

  • get

Input binding

For input binding, where the query matching Tweets are streamed to the user service, the above component has to also include a query:

  - name: query
    value: "dapr" # your search query, required

Output binding

get

For output binding invocation the user code has to invoke the binding:

POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/bindings/twitter

Where the payload is:

{
  "data": "",
  "metadata": {
    "query": "twitter-query",
    "lang": "optional-language-code",
    "result": "valid-result-type"
  },
  "operation": "get"
}

The metadata parameters are:

  • query - any valid Twitter query (e.g. dapr or dapr AND serverless). See Twitter docs for more details on advanced query formats
  • lang - (optional, default: en) restricts result tweets to the given language using ISO 639-1 language code
  • result - (optional, default: recent) specifies tweet query result type. Valid values include:
    • mixed - both popular and real time results
    • recent - most recent results
    • popular - most popular results
