Hi @JHSPHshe . Please can you post an example of the method call you are using and the arguments you are sending to it?

[coldfumonkeh]

@JHSPHshe Actually it looks like you're sending the wrong value through for the search q parameter.
I think it should be urlDecode('%23SJWYF2022')

var dataReturn = variables.monkehTweet.search(q=urlDecode('%23SJWYF2022'), count='2', format='json');

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your response.

The search function indicated that
<cfargument name="q" required="true" type="String" hint="Search query. Should be URL encoded. Queries will be limited by complexity." />

So when I query our db, get the hashtag '#SJWYF2022', I assign this hashtag to searhstrRep, then I do

<cfset searchStrEncoded = URLEncodedFormat(searhstrRep) />

then call search function in script
returnData = application.objMonkehTweet.search(q=searchStrEncoded,result_type=searchType,count=searchCount);

The returnData contain status which is empty array

I user your recommend code above, got the same result;

My question is, the search function works for most of hashtag, like #publicHealth , #TheNorthman, #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce, etc, but one of our faculty member report recently, when they search this #SJWYF2022 (which has only few post , and all of them on Mar 31), not return anything. Is it possible anything wrong on twitter.com side?

Thanks again for your help. very appreciated.
