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
