I don't know if this is a problem with Heroku or not, but I hope you can help me guys.
I am building a bot in python using the praw library where I use the submission.reply("something") to comment some posts, but the thing is that it only works in my local machine.
When I upload it to Heroku, it does not work, except for a post in a certain subreddit and I am not entirely sure why. After that one, it simply does not comment anything. I tested it with try/except and the error is here for sure, but I can´t find the problem.
Here is the error:
praw.exceptions.RedditAPIException: RATELIMIT: "Looks like you've been doing that a lot. Take a break for 3 minutes before trying again." on field 'ratelimit'
Looks like your bot is commenting way too fast for the reddit API guidelines. Try adding a delay timer of about 10 seconds after every comment.

As you can see by the title I'm having trouble with Discord-Rewrite.
I have been looking on the api page for the past few days, in multiple discord API servers looking for help and even here on Stack Overflow and only seen code for the Async Branch.
I've tried looking around on youtube for tutorials as well but there weren't that many for python and was mainly dedicated on JavaScript so I tried JavaScript and I have a working purge command but I want to stick to using python as I'm more comfortable with that compared to JavaScript.
I'd really appreciate it if someone was willing to help out whether its posting working code, giving me a guideline, or even the right place to look. Any type of help will be appreciated as I've been stuck for a few days trying to get something working and the closest thing I got was having it delete the bots own message which just stated how many messages it deleted, in this case just 1 (Its own message).
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
You can use TextChannel.purge to delete messages from a certain channel. Your bot will need the manage_messages permission.
#bot.command()
async def purge(ctx, amount: int):
deleted = await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)
await ctx.send(f"Deleted {len(deleted)} messages")
I am trying to collect the news history for a stock from a website using python.
The news load as you scroll down, so a number of requests are necessary for each stock.
After a few requests the website denies access, even after specifying the User-Agent and even after making it vary with each request. I also tried pausing the execution for a few seconds between requests. Nothing works.
Does anybody know how to go around this?
In case somebody else runs into this issue, the package "fake-useragent" seems to provide a solution.
I simply randomized the user agent before each request.
The website continues to deny access, albeit just seldom, and one can bypass this with a simple loop.
(The same answer was deleted a few days ago because I included a link to the package. I think my answer is more helpful to whomever runs into this issue in the future than previous answers to similar questions and all of your stupid comments.)
I have been trying to download past broadcasts for a streamer on twitch using python. I found this python code online:
https://gist.github.com/baderj/8340312
However, when I try to call the functions I am getting errors giving me a status 400 message.
Unsure if this is the code I want to download the video (as an mp4) or how to use it properly.
And by video I mean something like this as an example: www(dot)twitch.tv/imaqtpie/v/108909385 //note cant put more than 3 links since I don't have 10 reputation
Any tips on how i should go about doing this?
Here's an example of running it in cmd:
python twitch_past_broadcast_downloader.py 108909385
After running it, it gave me this:
Exception API returned 400
This is where i got the information on running it:

Huh it's not as easy at it seems ... The code you found on this gist is quite old and Twitch has completely changed its API. Now you will need a Client ID to download videos, in order to limit the amount of video you're downloading.
If you want to correct this gist, here are simple steps you can do :
Register an application : Everything is explained here ! Register you app and keep closely your client id.
Change API route : It is no longer '{base}/api/videos/a{id_}' but {base}/kraken/videos/{id_} (not sure about the last one). You will need to change it inside the python code. The doc is here.
Add the client id to the url : As said in the doc, you need to give a header to the request you make, so add a Client-ID: <client_id> header in the request.
And now I think you will need to start debugging a bit, because it is old code :/
I will try myself to do it and I will edit this answer when I'm finished, but try yourself :)
See ya !
EDIT : Mhhh ... It doesn't seem to be possible anyway to download a video with the API :/ I was thinking only links to API changed, but the chunks section of the response from the video url disappeared and Twitch is no longer giving access to raw videos :/
Really sorry I told you to do that, even with the API I think is no longer possible :/
You can download past broadcasts of Twitch videos with Python library streamlink.
You will need OAuth token which you can generate with the command
streamlink --twitch-oauth-authenticate
Download VODs with:
streamlink --twitch-oauth-token <your-oauth-token> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/<VideoID> best -o <your-output-folder>
I am trying to collect tweets and extract the text part for my project. I tried many ways and most of them works just fine for me. Though I stumbled upon this nltk.twitter package and some code snippets to do the same work. The codes are pretty clean and i want to use that. But even the simplest code is giving me 401 error though I have my account at twitter developers' and have all the four keys required.
from nltk.twitter import Twitter
tw = Twitter()
tw.tweets(keywords='love, hate', limit=10)
I took this example from http://www.nltk.org/howto/twitter.html#simple and tried every example that is given. None of them works. And apparently I cannot find why. Thank you for your help in advance.
There is a few things that may have caused this. But I bet it is the time issue as nltk is trying to use the streamer and the time of your computer/server is out of sync.
Also make sure you install nltk completely. Try
import nltk
dl = nltk.downloader.Downloader("http://nltk.github.com/nltk_data/")
dl.download()
Using nltk.twitter requires your credentials.txt file path in TWITTER environment variable and the data inside the text file has to be entered correctly.
For example:
`app_key=YOUR CONSUMER KEY
app_secret=YOUR CONSUMER SECRET
oauth_token=YOUR ACCESS TOKEN
oauth_token_secret=YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET
`
There should be no space before of after the '='. Also, don't put the key in quotes like "YOUR CONSUMER KEY".
This solved my issue with 401.
I've been trying to get my python code to post. I have tried using the Postman Plugin to test the post method and I would get a 405 method error. I am planning to have the user post the information and have it displayed.
Currently if I press submit I would get a error loading page, changing the form to get results in the submit button working and returning to the previous page. If I change the handler to post the screen would instantly display '405 Method Not Allowed'. I've looked through the Google App Engine logs and there are no errors. Can someone help me with what I done wrong and advise me on how to the post method functioning?
Thanks for the time.
You're getting '405 method not allowed' because the POST is going to the same url that served up the page, but the handler for that path (MainPage) does not have a post method.
That's the same diagnosis that you were given when you asked this question two hours earlier under a different user id.
Stepping back further to address the "what have I done wrong" question: It seems to me that you've gotten quite far along before discovering that what you have doesn't work. So far along that the example is cluttered with irrelevant code that's unrelated to the failure. That makes it harder for you for figure this out for yourself, and it makes it more difficult for people here to help you.
In this situation, you help yourself (and help others help you) by seeing how much code you can eliminate while still demonstrating the failure.
