Update 5\/2014 – all of these examples are broken due to Twitter API upgrade that requires OAUTH instead of user\/password. Have left this post – as an example of what you can do.

Here is an example that I actually got working to track mention of dogs… You need to replace USER:PASS with your Twitter login and password. The JSON search results will be written to the file tweets.json.<\/p>\n

A running tally of results will be displayed to the console while this is running.<\/p>\n

curl https:\/\/stream.twitter.com\/1\/statuses\/filter.json -u USER:PASSWORD -d "track=dog" > tweets.json<\/pre>\n
This one searches for #cats (hashtag)<\/p>\n
curl https:\/\/stream.twitter.com\/1\/statuses\/filter.json -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -d "track=#cats" > tweets.json<\/pre>\n

Do you have a specific example which doesn’t appear to work? Following Taylor’s advice, I was able to find several streaming entries tracking the “photo” keyword:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
    \n
  1. \n
    curl https:\/\/stream.twitter.com\/1\/statuses\/filter.json -d 'track=photo' -u [username]:[password] -# | grep "\\"media_url\\""<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    Here is a technique (in the answer) which tracks when the stream gets a hit<\/p>\n
