Tweepy stream.filter using cashtags

Viewed 274

Can you filter using $ cashtags using the free version of the twitter API?

  • Does it pull out exact matches (i.e. must include $GSK) or approximate matches?
  • Does it just match the text? or the actual cashtag?

For example:

twitterStream.filter(track=["$GSK", "$BARC"], languages=["en"])

When I run it I seem to be pulling in tweets on stocks that I have not selected?

As an aside does the tweepy use v2 of the Twitter API?

It appears that cashtag is only available for enterprise search APIs as of now. See here.
