Twython - Easy Twitter utilities in Python
|
||||
=========================================================================================
|
||||
Ah, Twitter, your API used to be so awesome, before you went and implemented the crap known
|
||||
as OAuth 1.0. However, since you decided to force your entire development community over a barrel
|
||||
about it, I suppose Twython has to support this. So, that said...
|
||||
Twython
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Does Twython handle OAuth?
|
||||
=========================================================================================================
|
||||
Yes, in a sense. There's a variety of builtin-methods that you can use to handle the authentication ritual.
|
||||
There's an **[example Django application](https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython-django)** that showcases
|
||||
this - feel free to peruse and use!
|
||||
```Twython``` is library providing an easy (and up-to-date) way to access Twitter data in Python
|
||||
|
||||
Features
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* Query data for:
|
||||
- User information
|
||||
- Twitter lists
|
||||
- Timelines
|
||||
- User avatar URL
|
||||
- and anything found in `the docs <https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api>`_
|
||||
* Image Uploading!
|
||||
- **Update user status with an image**
|
||||
- Change user avatar
|
||||
- Change user background image
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Installing Twython is fairly easy. You can...
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
(pip install | easy_install) twython
|
||||
|
||||
...or, you can clone the repo and install it the old fashioned way.
|
||||
... or, you can clone the repo and install it the old fashioned way
|
||||
|
||||
git clone git://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython.git
|
||||
cd twython
|
||||
sudo python setup.py install
|
||||
|
||||
Please note:
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
As of Twython 2.0.0, we have changed routes for functions to abide by the **[Twitter Spring 2012 clean up](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/deprecations/spring-2012)**.
|
||||
Please make changes to your code accordingly.
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
Example Use
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
from twython import Twython
|
||||
Authorization URL
|
||||
|
||||
twitter = Twython()
|
||||
results = twitter.search(q = "bert")
|
||||
```python
|
||||
t = Twython(app_key=app_key,
|
||||
app_secret=app_secret,
|
||||
callback_url='http://google.com/')
|
||||
|
||||
# More function definitions can be found by reading over twython/twitter_endpoints.py, as well
|
||||
# as skimming the source file. Both are kept human-readable, and are pretty well documented or
|
||||
# very self documenting.
|
||||
auth_props = t.get_authentication_tokens()
|
||||
|
||||
oauth_token = auth_props['oauth_token']
|
||||
oauth_token_secret = auth_props['oauth_token_secret']
|
||||
|
||||
print 'Connect to Twitter via: %s' % auth_props['auth_url']
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure you have a URL set up to handle the callback after the user has allowed your app to access their data, the callback can be used for storing their final OAuth Token and OAuth Token Secret in a database for use at a later date.
|
||||
|
||||
Handling the callback
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
'''
|
||||
oauth_token and oauth_token_secret come from the previous step
|
||||
if needed, store those in a session variable or something
|
||||
'''
|
||||
|
||||
t = Twython(app_key=app_key,
|
||||
app_secret=app_secret,
|
||||
oauth_token=oauth_token,
|
||||
oauth_token_secret=oauth_token_secret)
|
||||
|
||||
auth_tokens = t.get_authorized_tokens()
|
||||
print auth_tokens
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
*Function definitions (i.e. getHomeTimeline()) can be found by reading over twython/twitter_endpoints.py*
|
||||
|
||||
Getting a user home timeline
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
'''
|
||||
oauth_token and oauth_token_secret are the final tokens produced
|
||||
from the `Handling the callback` step
|
||||
'''
|
||||
|
||||
t = Twython(app_key=app_key,
|
||||
app_secret=app_secret,
|
||||
oauth_token=oauth_token,
|
||||
oauth_token_secret=oauth_token_secret)
|
||||
|
||||
# Returns an dict of the user home timeline
|
||||
print t.getHomeTimeline()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get a user avatar url *(no authentication needed)*
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
t = Twython()
|
||||
print t.getProfileImageUrl('ryanmcgrath', size='bigger')
|
||||
print t.getProfileImageUrl('mikehelmick')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Search Twitter *(no authentication needed)*
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
t = Twython()
|
||||
print t.search(q='python')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Streaming API
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Twython, as of v1.5.0, now includes an experimental **[Twitter Streaming API](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api)** handler.
|
||||
Usage is as follows; it's designed to be open-ended enough that you can adapt it to higher-level (read: Twitter must give you access)
|
||||
streams. This also exists in large part (read: pretty much in full) thanks to the excellent **[python-requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/)** library by
|
||||
Kenneth Reitz.
|
||||
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
import json
|
