How can i exclude the mentions and retweets.

Answer 1

You can filter the tweets by author using the from: operator, as shown in the Twitter API documentation for Stream Premium Operators .

Note that this is a Premium operator, and can only be used with an Enterprise account.

If you don't have an Enterprise account, you can still use the operator, but not using a stream. Using the Standard search API :
