Python Twitter updater - xx1ben99xx - Nov 20, 2016
Hi, I want to be able to get somebodies tweets as soon as they tweet, but so far all I can do is make it so that when i manually ask for the tweets rather then it automatically updating for me.
Heres my code:
PHP Code
<?php
import twitter
api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='', #im not showing you my tokens and keys
consumer_secret='',
access_token_key='',
access_token_secret='')
statuses = api.GetUserTimeline(screen_name="USERNAME") #username of twitter profile
stats = ([s.text for s in statuses])
print(stats[0])
So how do I get it to automatically update rather than rerunning the script?

Perhaps use some kind of a listener to listen for new tweets and instantly notify you when they are out?

Yeah I thought that but had no idea how to do it?
ok I have this so far
PHP Code
<?php
@bot.command()
async def alerts():
consumer_key = ''
consumer_secret = ''
access_token = ''
access_token_secret = ''
class StdOutListener(tweepy.StreamListener):
async def on_data(self, data):
decoded = json.loads(data)
print('@%s: %s' % (decoded['user']['screen_name'], decoded['text'].encode('ascii', 'ignore')))
msg = ('@%s: %s' % (decoded['user']['screen_name'], decoded['text'].encode('ascii', 'ignore')))
await bot.say(msg)
return True
def on_error(self, status):
print (status)
if __name__ == '__main__':
l = StdOutListener()
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
print ("Showing all new tweets for #nmd:")
stream = tweepy.Stream(auth, l)
stream.filter(track=['tweets'])
So im using this as a discord bot but I dont know how to make it write the new tweets in the chat, btw there is more to the program but i didnt include it. I can make it write the idle but not in the dicord - fyi the bot is fully working
