I been successfully able to use Twitter REST API to do find tweets and retweet them automatically. Now I want to tweet user a Thank You Message, I am using Python and Tweepy for my BOT. I can do live collection of tweets, using Twitter Streaming API, but I can't understand how to use the API to send a thank you message to those who favorite my tweets. I saw both the documentations but couldn't understand and use much from there. I also tried to search for any example but couldn't find any good one for Streaming API.
Can anyone show me how to use it with tweepy to achieve the same. It would be nice if you can show how to use it when someone retweets my tweet or follows me, I want to send them a thank you tweet automatically.
PS: I understand that Twitter doesn't likes much automation. But its all for learning.

I'm trying to build a Twitter bot that sends out tweets at scheduled times. I'm unable to find a way to do this without either using Python to keep the code running forever or applying for Twitter Ads API which isn't possible for a personal project like mine.
I would appreciate any help/suggestions that would allow me to accomplish this. Thank you!
What I want to do is to learn which is better way to get all tweets from a user profile URL and then get all users who replied to those tweets and remove duplicates from list before adding them in to csv or excel file. I found this Git project but its not what I want

Could anyone guide me to a better library or idea?
Tweepy is a very good library for interacting with Twitter in Python.
I'd suggest taking a look at Tweepy's documentation and starter guide. It's quite simple to work with once you understand what functions are available.
Hi I'm new to scraping data from twitter and I've been working on a project to collect tweets and their replies. I scraped the tweets using twitter API , but I couldn't scrape their replies. Any suggestions ?
Scraping is not using API. API is a comfortable method to get data while scraping is doing it manually. If you want to get replies, but the API doesn't provide them, you can use selenium. It is well-known library used for scraping data.
Twitter API does not have an end-point to get replies to a tweet for free users, but there are some ways to achieve what you want, although there may be some limits on how many tweets you can get.
Check-out tweepy library, I think you could use the search method as is explained in this question(How to get the replies for a given tweet with tweepy and python?
). To better understand how to use the tweet object, you should definitely check the docs out.
You can achieve this by:
You want to get replies of #barackobama and Tweet Id is 1234 just example.
Search tweets having #barackobama is tweet text. then make filter on InrplytweetId=1234
by this method you can get replies of this tweet.
i'm having problem with the twitter api. I used this script Script to delete tweets
To delete the tweets form an account. I see that tweepy method (api,user_timeline) at
for status in tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline).items():
try:
will not return those tweets that contain media (accessing twitter from the website they don't show up in the timeline but in another tab called 'photos and videos') so they are not deleted. include_entities is not a parameter for this method.
how can i recover these tweets? I thought i could searching with the username as query, but that doesn't work and could be very inefficient.
is there another method on the twitter API or a parameter that's not included with the documentation?
Thanks for all the help!
I found that this is a problem twitter has when erasing massively tweets. Nothing we can do for now!
I am looking through the Tweepy API and not quite sure how to find the event to register for when a user either send or receives a new tweet. I looked into the Streaming API but it seems like that is only sampling the Twitter fire house and not really meant for looking at one indvidual user. What I am trying to do is have my program update whenever something happens to the user. Essentially what a user would see if they were in their account on the twitter homepage. So my question is: What is the method or event I should be looking for in the Tweepy API to make this happen?
Don't know much about tweepy, but you should really look into Twitter's API Document here, which describes your need directly.
And I took a look at tweepy but don't seem to find it support the userstream series of Twitter API, maybe you have to wrap it yourself :-)
I don't think there is any event based pub-sub exposed by twitter. You just have to do the long polling.
I used the .filter function then filtered for the user I was looking for.
