In the example above we’re using 10 to limit the number of tweets we’re reading, but we can of course access more. Tweepy provides the convenient Cursor interface to iterate through different types of objects. our Twitter homepage) with:įor status in tweepy.Cursor(api.home_timeline).items(10): The api variable is now our entry point for most of the operations we can perform with Twitter.įor example, we can read our own timeline (i.e. In order to authorise our app to access Twitter on our behalf, we need to use the OAuth interface:Īuth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)Īuth.set_access_token(access_token, access_secret) More Updates: the release 3.5.0 of Tweepy, already available via pip, seems to solve the problem with Python 3 mentioned above. Update: the release 3.4.0 of Tweepy has introduced a problem with Python 3, currently fixed on github but not yet available with pip, for this reason we’re using version 3.3.0 until a new release is available.

In particular, Tweepy in one of the most interesting and straightforward to use, so let’s install it: pip install tweepy=3.3.0 There is also a bunch of Python-based clients out there that we can use without re-inventing the wheel. Twitter provides REST APIs you can use to interact with their service. Important Note: there are rate limits in the use of the Twitter API, as well as limitations in case you want to provide a downloadable data-set, see: The default permissions are read-only, which is all we need in our case, but if you decide to change your permission to provide writing features in your app, you must negotiate a new access token. Similarly to the consumer keys, these strings must also be kept private: they provide the application access to Twitter on behalf of your account. From the configuration page of your app, you can also require an access token and an access token secret. You will receive a consumer key and a consumer secret: these are application settings that should always be kept private. You can now choose a name and a description for your app (for example “Mining Demo” or similar). In particular, you need to point your browser to, log-in to Twitter (if you’re not already logged in) and register a new application.

The first step is the registration of your app. In order to have access to Twitter data programmatically, we need to create an app that interacts with the Twitter API. More updates: fixed version number of Tweepy to avoid problem with Python 3 fixed discussion on _json to get the JSON representation of a tweet added example of process_or_store(). Part 7: Geolocation and Interactive Maps.

Chapter 2 about mining Twitter is available as a free sample from the publisher’s web site, and the companion code with many more examples is available on my GitHub

#Twitter for mac unauthorized update#

Update July 2016: my new book on data mining for Social Media is out! Part of the content in this tutorial has been improved and expanded as part of the book, so please have a look. Once we have built a data set, in the next episodes we’ll discuss some interesting data applications. In this first part, we’ll see different options to collect data from Twitter.

This is the first in a series of articles dedicated to mining data on Twitter using Python. The list of different ways to use Twitter could be really long, and with 500 millions of tweets per day, there’s a lot of data to analyse and to play with. Users share thoughts, links and pictures on Twitter, journalists comment on live events, companies promote products and engage with customers. Twitter is a popular social network where users can share short SMS-like messages called tweets.
