How do you fetch the data from twitter?  
Using input plugin?

If you are using the twitter input plugin try this:

```
input {
twitter {
----your options
full_tweet => true
ignore_retweets => false
use_samples => false
languages => ["us"]

```

locations =\> "100,100"  
}  
}

#### `locations` [edit](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-twitter/edit/master/docs/index.asciidoc)

- Value type is [string](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/configuration-file-structure.html#string)
- There is no default value for this setting.

A comma-separated list of longitude, latitude pairs specifying a set of bounding boxes to filter tweets by. See [https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview/request-parameters#locations](https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview/request-parameters#locations) for more details.

you would have to handle it in a json filtering I guess going after the  
{  
"country": "Sweden",  
" **countryCode**": "SE",  
"name": "Sweden",  
"parentid": 1,  
"placeType": {  
"code": 12,  
"name": "Country"  
},  
"url": "[http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/place/23424954](http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/place/23424954)",  
"woeid": 23424954  
},
