Twitter Trends Export

The Twitter Trends Export automation allows you to extract trending hashtags, topics, and their associated details from Twitter. This tool is ideal for marketers, researchers, and growth hackers seeking insights into trending conversations for campaigns or content strategies. Data can be exported to Google Sheets or CSV for organized tracking and analysis. Follow this comprehensive guide to set up and execute the automation.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store and search for Twitter Trends Export. Click on the automation to open its configuration screen.

Step 2: Connect Your Twitter Account

To use the Twitter Trends Export automation, you need to connect your Twitter account to TexAu. Follow these steps:

1. Add Account: Click the Add Account button and select Twitter from the available platforms.
2. Authorization Method: Choose one of the following secure methods:
   • Magic Link: TexAu will email you a secure link to log in without managing cookies.
   • Cookie Authentication: Use your browser cookies to establish the connection manually.

Tip: The Magic Link option is faster and eliminates the need for manual cookie setup.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Define the locations or regions for which you want to export Twitter trends. TexAu provides the following input options:

1. Manually Enter a Single Input: Enter a specific location or WOEID (Where On Earth ID) directly into the input field.
2. Google Sheets: Use a Google Sheet with multiple locations or WOEIDs, each in a separate row. Paste the sheet link or connect your Google account to grant access.
3. CSV File: Upload a CSV file containing locations or WOEIDs in a column for bulk processing.

Tip: Use Google Sheets or CSV to efficiently manage and extract trends from multiple locations.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

To automate trend extraction at specific times, configure the Schedule settings:

• None: Run the automation immediately.
• At Regular Intervals: Set to repeat every few hours or daily.
• Once: Specify a one-time run at a particular date and time.
• Every Day: Automate scraping daily at a chosen time.
• On Specific Days of the Week: Choose specific days like Monday or Friday.
• On Specific Days of the Month: Select specific dates like the 1st or 15th.
• On Specific Dates: Define exact dates for the automation.

Tip: Scheduling ensures you continuously track evolving trends for relevant campaigns.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To simulate natural browsing behavior and reduce detection risk, configure an Iteration Delay between scraping requests. Adjust these parameters:

• Minimum Delay: The shortest interval between requests.
• Maximum Delay: The longest interval to add randomness.

For example, delays between 5–10 seconds can make scraping appear more organic.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Select how to save and manage the exported trend data:

1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets for real-time collaboration or CSV for offline access.
2. Output Management:
   • Append: Add new data to the end of an existing file.
   • Split: Create a new file for every automation run.
   • Overwrite: Replace previous data with the latest results.
3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to remove duplicate entries for a cleaner dataset.

Tip: Exporting directly to Google Sheets is ideal for live collaboration on trend analysis.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once all configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose between:

• Cloud: Run the automation on TexAu’s servers for a hands-free experience.
• Desktop: Run locally on your device, using your IP address to simulate manual browsing.

Tip: Running the automation in Desktop mode saves cloud runtime credits and provides more control over execution.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, access your results in the Data Store:

1. Navigate to Data Store in TexAu.

2. Locate the Twitter Trends Export automation.

3. Click See Data to view or download the exported trend details.
