I am trying to develop a gtk3 desktop application using python to perform the basic twitter functions like accessing the home timeline of a user, making tweets etc.
I am using python-twitter library, but am unable to find the API call for the purpose. I checked and saw there were a few patches , but they dont seem to work. the rest of the functions I am able to accomplish using the library.
I need help!!!
[edit]
this is the error i am facing when i tried using a fork of the python-twitter library, as given on: http://github.com/jaytaylor/python-twitter-api
Error:
>>api.getUserTimeline('gaurav_sood91')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "twitter.py", line 2646, in getUserTimeline
self._checkForTwitterError(data)
File "twitter.py", line 3861, in _checkForTwitterError
if data.has_key('next_cursor'):
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'has_key'
Using the python-twitter module from code.google.com, documentation here.
Accessing user timelines:
import twitter
api = twitter.Api()
statuses = api.GetUserTimeline('#gaurav_sood91')
print [s.text for s in statuses]
Posting tweets:
import twitter
api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='consumer_key',
consumer_secret='consumer_secret',
access_token_key='access_token',
access_token_secret='access_token_secret')
status = api.PostUpdate('This is my update text.')
Edit for applying GetHomeTimeline patch:
Disclaimer: I'm on Windows, so you may need to change these steps a bit.
Download python-twitter
Extract to folder
Download 0002-Support-for-home-timeline.patch file from issue 152
Copy/move patch file to root of extracted python-twitter directory (there should be a file named twitter.py in this dir)
Run command: patch twitter.py 0002-Support-for-home-timeline.patch, you should get a message that patch succeeded
In same directory, run command: python setup.py install
Run interactive python shell: import twitter, dir(twitter.Api)
You should see the GetHomeTimeline method listed.
Update for GetHomeTimeline:
Found patch in issue 152 that works well using OAuth and JSON parse method that is now part of Status class. Sample code:
import twitter
api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='consumer_key',
consumer_secret='consumer_secret',
access_token_key='access_token',
access_token_secret='access_token_secret')
statuses = api.GetHomeTimeline()
print [s.text for s in statuses]

I cannot seem to create and attach a file to an item in podio using the pypodio client, which is the python wrapper for PODIO's API. I am trying to get the file id but keep on getting the error. I am using Python 3.6.0
My code is
`path = os.getcwd()`
`filename="system_information"`
`filepath = path + "\\system_information.txt"`
`filedata=open(filepath)`
uploading_response = pcbapp.Files.create(filename,filedata)
I get an error shown below,
File "c:\users\nipun.arora\src\podio-py\pypodio2\encode.py", line 317, in get_headers
boundary = urllib.quote_plus(boundary)
AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'quote_plus'
That's might be because there is no urllib.quote_plus in python3. Can you try running same code in python2?
I am trying to use the Google Drive API to download publicly available files however whenever I try to proceed I get an import error.
For reference, I have successfully set up the OAuth2 such that I have a client id as well as a client secret , and a redirect url however when I try setting it up I get an error saying the object has no attribute urllen
>>> from apiclient.discovery import build
>>> from oauth2client.client import OAuth2WebServerFlow
>>> flow = OAuth2WebServerFlow(client_id='not_showing_client_id', client_secret='not_showing_secret_id', scope='https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', redirect_uri='https://www.example.com/oauth2callback')
>>> auth_uri = flow.step1_get_authorize_url()
>>> code = '4/E4h7XYQXXbVNMfOqA5QzF-7gGMagHSWm__KIH6GSSU4#'
>>> credentials = flow.step2_exchange(code)
And then I get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/util.py", line
137, in positional_wrapper

1980, in step2_exchange
body = urllib.parse.urlencode(post_data)
AttributeError: 'Module_six_moves_urllib_parse' object has no attribute

Any help would be appreciated, also would someone mind enlightening me as to how I instantiate a drive_file because according to https://developers.google.com/drive/web/manage-downloads, I need to instantiate one and I am unsure of how to do so.
Edit: So I figured out why I was getting the error I got before. If anyone else is having the same problem then try running.
sudo pip install -I google-api-python-client==1.3.2
However I am still unclear about the drive instance so any help with that would be appreciated.
Edit 2: Okay so I figured out the answer to my whole question. The drive instance is just the metadata which results when we use the API to search for a file based on its id
So as I said in my edits try the sudo pip install and a file instance is just a dictionary of meta data.
I keep getting this exception from TweetStream 1.1.1, "exception.code == 404:uthenticationError("Access denied")" It worked last week and now it doesn't. I have tried different usernames and passwords. I can log into twitter with my account information. I even deleted and reinstalled the module. what gives? Thanks for the help!
I try running this...
import tweetstream
stream = tweetstream.SampleStream("MY_USERNAME", "MY_PASSWORD")
for tweet in stream:
print tweet
The error actually looks like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#28>", line 1, in <module>
for tweet in stream:
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\tweetstream-1.1.1-py2.7.egg\tweetstream\streamclasses.py", line 165, in __iter__
self._init_conn()
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\tweetstream-1.1.1-py2.7.egg\tweetstream\streamclasses.py", line 103, in _init_conn
raise AuthenticationError("Access denied")
AuthenticationError: Access denied
Twitter released the next version of API (1.1). And tweetstream doesn't support it yet. See relevant issue on tweetstream project issue tracker.
Had the same problem here, and I could not get the patched version mentioned on the project issue tracker (linked by #alecxe) to work either.
Twitter provides a list of libraries that should work with the newer API, at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/twitter-libraries
It lists many, including several for Python.
I installed everything as it says on the FlickrAPI homepage but when I try to run:
import flickrapi
api_key = '1a4c975fa83048436a2086bcab7d2290'
api_password = '5e069eae20e60297'
flickrclient = flickrapi.FlickAPI(api_key, api_password)
favourites = flickrClient.favorites_getPublicList(user_id='userid')
photos = flickr.photos_search(user_id='73509078#N00', per_page='10')
sets = flickr.photosets_getList(user_id='73509078#N00')
for photo in favourites.photos[0].photo:
print photo['title']
I get this message from the command prompt:
C:\Users\Desktop>python api.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "api.py", line 4, in <module>
flickrclient = flickrapi.FlickAPI(api_key, api_password)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FlickAPI'
Any ideas?? I have tried almost everything
FlickAPI is not the same as FlickrAPI. You're missing an r.
The file C:\Users\XXXXXX\Desktop\FLICKR API\flickrapi.py is not part of the flickrapi package. Please rename it, it is masking the real library. Right now it is being imported instead of the installed package.
The flickrapi package itself consists of a directory with a __init__.py file inside of it. Printing flickrapi.__file__ should result in a path ending in flickrapi\__init__.py.
In your "flickrclient = flickrapi.FlickAPI" line, you're missing an 'r' in FlickAPI.
Also, on the next line, your *"user_id='userid'"* argument needs an actual user ID, such as '999999#N99'
Hopefully you found that & got this working a few months ago! :)
I'm trying to use the python-twitter module, but still having problems initiating the twitter.Api(). I've checked and rechecked that no other file named twitter.py or twitter.pyc is on my system. On a clean install i first try to
>>> import twitter
and correctly get a response of 'module unknown'
I do a easy_install twitter, successfull.
Then do
>>> import twitter
>>> testapi = twitter.Api()
The response is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
testapi = twitter.Api()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Api'
>>>
I'm exhausted trying to locate the problem here, please help.
It appears that you are trying to follow the documentation for one Python Twitter module when you are in fact using another Python Twitter module.
The Api() method call you mention is part of this Python Twitter module. However, when you use easy_install twitter, you actually get this other Python Twitter module.
