Getting Twitter Page data in Power BI

[Anonymous]

I know they have a connection with Azzure ( which I don't have) but is there a way to do this using the twitter API so I can see status updates and metrics around them 

Thanks!

yes there is by getting data from web using the API URL, but it has it's limit.
So i would advise to use a third-party connector such as windsor.ai that will help you get you data automatically and in real time.

Hi @Anonymous,

I don't there is a way to directly using Twitter API to connect Twitter Analytics data with Power BI currently.

While one common solution is using Azure and then connecting to PowerBI, an alternative way is export the data for Twitter Analytics to csv files first then connecting with Power BI. For more details, you can refer to this article.

Thanks so much for the response. I currently have that set up, but I am looking to use the twitter analytics data, having a hard time with it.

Oh I see. Never used that, so no help from me here unfortunately.
