Anyone used twitter REST API to GET/POST data ? I am using python requests module.. need help.
Initially starting with GET. it should go like this... after adding keys and username :
import requests
url = 'api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.js…'
auth = OAuth1(API_KEY, API_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
requests.get(url, auth=auth)
r = requests.get('api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json', auth=auth)
for tweet in r.json():
print tweet['text']
It's not working for me. Also, what if I don't want to use any third party module like twitter. Just by importing modules like request and json.
I don't know what do you need it for, but if I may suggest to try Twypy package

Firstly, I would recommend this: In your
r, as a response, - check thestatusCodeinstead of.json()then you can determine why it was rejected.I think you need to do something like this:
session = requests.Session() session.auth = (API_KEY, API_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET) req = session.get(url) return req.statusCodeBy splitting it up - it's clearer and allows further processing/manipulation to be easier upon response. But without knowing the twitter api, which a google of twitter api should handle, there's not much more I can offer.
And if you're dealing with
JSONalso includeimport jsonin your imports.
