Raw Queries

A raw query lets you manually add URL segments and parameters to execute any HTTP GET endpoint in the Twitter API.

Entity: Raw

Type: N/A

Parameters/Filters:

Name	Purpose	Type	Required
QueryString	URL segments + query parameters	string	yes

Notes:

• Don’t include the Base URL in the query string, as it is already set in your TwitterContext instance.
• Url Encode all parameters.

Example:

            string unencodedStatus = "LINQ to Twitter";
            string encodedStatus = Uri.EscapeDataString(unencodedStatus);
            string queryString = "search/tweets.json?q=" + encodedStatus;

            var rawResult =
                await
                (from raw in twitterCtx.RawQuery
                 where raw.QueryString == queryString
                 select raw)
                .SingleOrDefaultAsync();

            if (rawResult != null)
                Console.WriteLine(
                    "Response from Twitter: \n\n" + rawResult.Response);
