Introduction¶
Here are some code snippets to help you out with using Tweepy. Feel free to contribute your own snippets or improve the ones here!
OAuth¶
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler("consumer_key", "consumer_secret")
# Redirect user to Twitter to authorize
redirect_user(auth.get_authorization_url())
# Get access token
auth.get_access_token("verifier_value")
# Construct the API instance
api = tweepy.API(auth)
Pagination¶
# Iterate through all of the authenticated user's friends
for friend in tweepy.Cursor(api.friends).items():
# Process the friend here
process_friend(friend)
# Iterate through the first 200 statuses in the friends timeline
for status in tweepy.Cursor(api.friends_timeline).items(200):
# Process the status here
process_status(status)
FollowAll¶
