[fedelauda]

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial! It was great, but I have a question for you...

I am a newbie in Python and I am using tweepy for my master thesis (I am a marketing management student). I am trying to get the friendhips relationships bewteen two twitter users ( companies in my case), but I can't figure out how to make this api method works.

I would like to retrieve a simple 0, 1 results where 0 = "not following" and 1 ="following".

this is my code just for the part I am interested in:

if api.show_friendship(source_screen_name='amazon', target_screen_name='eBay'):
print ('1')
else:
print ('0')

Any hint or Examples you can provide to me for this??? Please if possibile make it simple for me :))

THANKS!

Hi Roshan I dont know if you are still around as its been a while since this vid was uploaded. Can we use this CURSOR method to retrieve say the last 5000 tweets of a given text? Not sure if the API allows for this?

Hey man thanks for the video, i get the error

File "<ipython-input-10-a94c9079cfc5>", line 2
print "@%s - %s (%s)" % (tweet.user.screen_name, tweet.user.name, tweet.created_at)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

when i try to print out the tweet as you do in 3:40, what is wrong?

Thank you
