Tweepy API question - alexaggs - Apr 2, 2017
So if any of you are familiar with the tweepy API and would like to help I'd appreciate it. Basically, I want to grab tweets from another user that isnt me. I'm trying to do this by doing...
Code
consumer_key = ''
consumer_secret = ''
access_token = ''
access_token_secret = ''
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
for word in tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline, screen_name = some screen name):but this just does not work for me. Does anyone know why?

Probably because you haven't put your OAUTH details in.

From my knowledge I believe I put all the necessary ones in but I can be totally wrong. Ill post my code above as well
Edit: Now that I think of it I may be missing some OAUTH details. If anyone knows what that'd be very helpful
