How to Extract Data from Twitter using Python [Tweepy API]

In this video we discuss how to extract data from twitter using python leveraging the tweepy API to pull the tweets.

Once you have your account go to github, I have the full code for the video available here:

All you need to do is remove the hash from the start of the lines and add the Consumer key, Consumer Secret Key, Your Access token and Access Token Secret. With this in hand you are ready to extract data from twitter using Python.

Amazing video mate, earned yourself a new sub - such a shame about elon screwing us with the API, subbed with notifications on for the next one!

The search_tweets attribute /method of tweepy library works only if you have full API v2 and not free as it require high access level, So you have to pay to Twitter for high level API key.

Amazing and thank you so much for sharing!

el nivel de acceso actual de la API free de twitter no da acceso a extraer la informacion de los tweets de la manera que has propuesto

[khairulumam]

is there a documentation about how to write the query? I'm looking for it on tweepy docs but I can't found it until now

[paulomacasaet]

up to how many tweets can you set for the query to still work? can it handle more than 1000?

Thanks Adam, really useful. I'm getting this error auth = tweepy.OAuthlUserHandler(
AttributeError: module 'tweepy' has no attribute 'OAuthlUserHandler'. Did you mean: 'OAuthHandler'?

Thank you for this video. I will try the Basic subscribe to see if this works. I saw a few in the comment sections with issues. I can try to find out why the error occurs.

[amostarspirit]

[daniellepompeunoronhaponte]

hi Adam, tks by the video. I need have acces to twitters users data like follower number, location etc.. do you know if i get this in the new twitter api in the basic plan?

[asdzxc]

ya no se puede extraer con la cuenta grauita 😥

[HitAndMissLab]

I created a developers account for myself, but those keys that you are showing stay hidden. I can not copy them or access any of them except bearer's key. Any suggestions?

[jiaweimo-dcoh]

hello adam, please, how to set the starting date and the end date of the tweet searched?

[iannjagi]

hey Adam! Trying to use the twitter API for this an analysis but each time i put in my Api credentials my intellisense marks it as an unknown. I am using vs code. What should I do? or what could be the issue
