Hi!

Does anybody know how to retrieve those tweets which contains at least one hashtag?

Thank you so much!

I don't think Twitter allows you to do that. You can use the Search API (api.search) to find tweets that have a specific hashtag, but putting just a hashtag as the query doesn't seem to work for me (you might have different results). Your other option is to use the Streaming API, which returns tweets in real-time, but again, I don't think it works without a specific hashtag.
