Wrapper for Twitter API v2 search endpoints (both 'search Tweets' and 'count Tweets' endpoints).
.. .. image:: https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwbadges.glitch.me%2Fbadges%2Fv2 .. :target: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api .. :alt: Twitter API v2
Welcome to the v2 branch of the Python search client. This branch was born from the main branch that supports
premium and enterprise tiers of Twitter search. This branch supports the Twitter API v2 'recent' and 'all' search endpoints <https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/search/introduction>__ only, and drops support for the premium and enterprise tiers.
This project serves as a wrapper for the all Twitter API v2 search endpoints, including both the endpoints that return Tweets and the endpoints that return counts of Tweets. This wrapper provides a command-line utility and a Python library you can integrate into your own scripts.
This client library supports these endpoints:
The search endpoint you want to hit is specified in the library's YAML file:
.. code:: yaml
search_tweets_v2: endpoint: https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent #Or https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/all
The 'recent' search endpoint provides Tweets from the past 7 days. The 'all' search endpoint, launched in January 2021 as part of the 'academic research' tier of Twitter API v2 access, provides access to all publicly avaialble Tweets posted since March 2006.
To learn more about the Twitter academic research program, see this Twitter blog post.
To download and install this package, go to: https://pypi.org/project/searchtweets-v2/
If you are looking for the original version that works with premium and enterprise versions of search, head on over to
the main or enterprise-premium branch. (Soon, the v2 version will be promoted to the main branch.)
Supports Twitter API v2 'recent' and 'all' search.
[Update] Supports the Tweet 'counts' endpoint, which can reduce API call usage and provide rapid insights if you only need Tweet volumes and not Tweet payloads.
Supports the configuration of v2 expansions <https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/expansions>_ and fields <https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/fields>_.
Supports multiple output formats:
Supports a new "polling" mode using the since-id search request parameter. The since-id, along with the new until-id provide a way to navigate the public Tweet archive by Tweet ID.
Supports additional ways to specify start-time and end-time request parameters:
start-time to (exactly) two days ago.start-time to (exactly) twelve hours ago.start-time to (exactly) fifteen minutes ago.These are handy for kicking off searches with a backfill period, and also work with the end-time request parameter.
These features were inherited from the enterprise/premium version:
jq).Twitter API v2 represents an opportunity to apply previous learnings from building Twitter API v1.1. and the premium and enterprise tiers of endpoints, and redesign and rebuild from the ground up. While building this v2 version of the search-tweets-python library,
we took the opportunity to update fundamental things. This library provides example scripts, and one example is updating their command-line arguments to better match new v2 conventions. Instead of setting search periods with start-datetime and end-datetime,
they have been shortened to match current search request parameters: start-time and end-time. Throughout the code, we no longer use parlance that references rules and PowerTrack, and now reference queries and the v2 recent search endpoint.
When migrating this Python search client to v2 from the enterprise and premium tiers, the following updates were made:
since_id and until_id request parameters.In this spirit of updating the parlance used, note that a core method provided by searchtweets/result_stream.py has been renamed. The method gen_rule_payload has been updated to gen_request_parameters.
One key update is handling the changes in how the search endpoint returns its data. The v2 search endpoint returns matching Tweets in a data array, along with an includes array that provides supporting objects that result from specifying expansions.
These expanded objects include Users, referenced Tweets, and attached media. In addition to the data and includes arrays, the search endpoint also provides a meta object that provides the max and min Tweet IDs included in the response,
along with a next_token if there is another 'page' of data to request.
Currently, the v2 client returns the original API responses. Optionally, it can output a stream of Tweet objects with all expansions included in each tweet. Alternatively, it can output a stream of messages, yielding the individual Tweet objects, arrays of User, Tweet, and media objects from the includes array, followed by the meta object. This matches the behavior of the original search client, and was the default output format in versions 1.0.7 and earlier.
Finally, the original version of search-tweets-python used a Tweet Parser <https://twitterdev.github.io/tweet_parser/>__ to help manage the differences between two different JSON formats ("original" and "Activity Stream"). With v2, there is just one version of Tweet JSON, so this Tweet Parser is not used.
In the original code, this Tweet parser was envoked with a tweetify=True directive. With this v2 version, this use of the Tweet Parser is turned off by instead using tweetify=False`.

The updated Pypi install package for the v2 version is at:
https://pypi.org/project/searchtweets-v2/
Another option to work directly with this code by cloning the repository, installing the required Python packages, setting up your credentials, and start making requests.
For those not using the Pypi package, and instead are cloning the repository, a requirements.txt is provided. Dependencies can be installed with the pip install -r requirements.txt command.
To confirm the your code is ready to go, run the $python3 scripts/search-tweets.py -h command. You should see the help details shown above.
The Twitter API v2 search endpoints uses app-only authentication. You have the choice to configure your application consumer key and secret, or a Bearer Token you have generated. If you supply the application key and secret, the client will generate a Bearer Token for you.
Many developers might find providing your application key and secret more straightforward and letting this library manage your Bearer Token generation for you. Please see HERE <https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/oauth-2-0>_ for an overview of the app-only authentication method.
We support both YAML-file based methods and environment variables for storing credentials, and provide flexible handling with sensible defaults.
The simplest credential file should look like this:
.. code:: yaml
search_tweets_v2: endpoint: https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent consumer_key: <CONSUMER_KEY> consumer_secret: <CONSUMER_SECRET> bearer_token: <BEARER_TOKEN>
By default, this library expects this file at "~/.twitter_keys.yaml", but you can pass the relevant location as needed, either with the --credential-file flag for the command-line app or as demonstrated below in a Python program.
Both above examples require no special command-line arguments or in-program arguments. The credential parsing methods, unless otherwise specified, will look for a YAML key called search_tweets_v2.
For developers who have multiple endpoints and/or search products, you can keep all credentials in the same file and specify specific keys to use. --credential-file-key specifies this behavior in the command line app. An example:
.. code:: yaml
search_tweets_v2: endpoint: https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent consumer_key: consumer_secret: (optional) bearer_token:
search_tweets_labsv2: endpoint: https://api.twitter.com/labs/2/tweets/search consumer_key: consumer_secret: (optional) bearer_token:
If you want or need to pass credentials via environment variables, you can set the appropriate variables:
::
export SEARCHTWEETS_ENDPOINT= export SEARCHTWEETS_BEARER_TOKEN= export SEARCHTWEETS_CONSUMER_KEY= export SEARCHTWEETS_CONSUMER_SECRET=
The load_credentials function will attempt to find these variables if it cannot load fields from the YAML file, and it will overwrite any credentials from the YAML file that are present as environment variables if they have been parsed. This behavior can be changed by setting the load_credentials parameter env_overwrite to False.
The following cells demonstrates credential handling in the Python library.
.. code:: python
from searchtweets import load_credentials
.. code:: python
load_credentials(filename="./search_tweets_creds_example.yaml", yaml_key="search_tweets_v2_example", env_overwrite=False)
::
{'bearer_token': '<A_VERY_LONG_MAGIC_STRING>', 'endpoint': 'https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent', 'extra_headers_dict': None}
If we set our environment variables, the program will look for them regardless of a YAML file's validity or existence.
.. code:: python
import os os.environ["SEARCHTWEETS_BEARER_TOKEN"] = "<ENV_BEARER_TOKEN>" os.environ["SEARCHTWEETS_ENDPOINT"] = "https://endpoint"
load_credentials(filename="nothing_here.yaml", yaml_key="no_key_here")
::
cannot read file nothing_here.yaml Error parsing YAML file; searching for valid environment variables
::
{'bearer_token': '<ENV_BEARER_TOKEN>', 'endpoint': 'https://endpoint'}
the flags:
--credential-file <FILENAME>--credential-file-key <KEY>--env-overwriteare used to control credential behavior from the command-line app.
The library includes an application, search_tweets.py, that provides rapid access to Tweets. When you use pip to install this package, search_tweets.py is installed globally. The file is located in the scripts/ directory for those who want to run it locally.
Note that the --results-per-call flag specifies an argument to the API, not as a hard max to number of results returned from this program. The argument --max-tweets defines the maximum number of results to return from a single run of the search-tweets.py``` script. All examples assume that your credentials are set up correctly in the default location - .twitter_keys.yaml`` or in environment variables.
Stream json results to stdout without saving
.. code:: bash
search_tweets.py
--max-tweets 10000
--results-per-call 100
--query "(snow OR rain) has:media -is:retweet"
--print-stream
Stream json results to stdout and save to a file
.. code:: bash
search_tweets.py
--max-tweets 10000
--results-per-call 100
--query "(snow OR rain) has:media -is:retweet"
--filename-prefix weather_pics
--print-stream
Save to file without output
.. code:: bash
search_tweets.py
--max-tweets 10000
--results-per-call 100
--query "(snow OR rain) has:media -is:retweet"
--filename-prefix weather_pics
--no-print-stream
One or more custom headers can be specified from the command line, using the --extra-headers argument and a JSON-formatted string representing a dictionary of extra headers:
.. code:: bash
search_tweets.py
--query "(snow OR rain) has:media -is:retweet"
--extra-headers '{"<MY_HEADER_KEY>":"<MY_HEADER_VALUE>"}'
Options can be passed via a configuration file (either ini or YAML). Example files can be found in the config/api_config_example.config or config/api_yaml_example.yaml files, which might look like this:
.. code:: bash
[search_rules] start_time = 2020-05-01 end_time = 2020-05-01 query = (snow OR rain) has:media -is:retweet
[search_params] results_per_call = 100 max_tweets = 10000
[output_params] save_file = True filename_prefix = weather_pics results_per_file = 10000000
Or this:
.. code:: bash
search_rules: start_time: 2020-05-01 end_time: 2020-05-01 01:01 query: (snow OR rain) has:media -is:retweet
search_params: results_per_call: 100 max_results: 500
output_params: save_file: True filename_prefix: (snow OR rain) has:media -is:retweet results_per_file: 10000000
Custom headers can be specified in a config file, under a specific credentials key:
.. code:: yaml
search_tweets_v2: endpoint: <FULL_URL_OF_ENDPOINT> bearer_token: extra_headers: <MY_HEADER_KEY>: <MY_HEADER_VALUE>
When using a config file in conjunction with the command-line utility, you need to specify your config file via the --config-file parameter. Additional command-line arguments will either be added to the config file args or overwrite the config file args if both are specified and present.
Example:
::
search_tweets.py
--config-file myapiconfig.config
--no-print-stream
Working with the API within a Python program is straightforward.
We'll assume that credentials are in the default location,
~/.twitter_keys.yaml.
.. code:: python
from searchtweets import ResultStream, gen_request_parameters, load_credentials
.. code:: python
search_args = load_credentials("~/.twitter_keys.yaml", yaml_key="search_tweets_v2", env_overwrite=False)
There is a function that formats search API rules into valid json queries called gen_request_parameters. It has sensible defaults, such as pulling more Tweets per call than the default 10, and not including dates. Discussing the finer points of
generating search rules is out of scope for these examples; we encourage you to see the docs to learn the nuances within, but for now let's see what a query looks like.
.. code:: python
query = gen_request_parameters("snow", results_per_call=100) print(query)
::
{"query":"snow","max_results":100}
This rule will match tweets that have the text snow in them.
From this point, there are two ways to interact with the API. There is a quick method to collect smaller amounts of Tweets to memory that requires less thought and knowledge, and interaction with the ResultStream object which will be introduced later.
We'll use the search_args variable to power the configuration point for the API. The object also takes a valid search query and has options to cutoff search when hitting limits on both number of Tweets and endpoint calls.
We'll be using the collect_results function, which has three parameters.
Let's see how it goes:
.. code:: python
from searchtweets import collect_results
.. code:: python
tweets = collect_results(query, max_tweets=100, result_stream_args=search_args) # change this if you need to
An overwhelming number of Tweet attributes are made available directly, as such:
.. code:: python
[print(tweet.text, end='\n\n') for tweet in tweets[0:10]]

@CleoLoughlin Rain after the snow? Do you have ice now?
@koofltxr Rain, 134340, still with you, winter bear, Seoul, crystal snow, sea, outro:blueside
@TheWxMeister Sorry it ruined your camping. I was covering plants in case we got snow in the Mountain Shadows area. Thankfully we didn\u2019t. At least it didn\u2019t stick to the ground. The wind was crazy! Got just over an inch of rain. Looking forward to better weather.

Because black people get killed in the rain, black lives matter in the rain. It matters all the time. Snow, rain, sleet, sunny days. We're not out here because it's sunny. We're not out here for fun. We're out here because black lives matter.

@Nonvieta Yup I work in the sanitation industry. I'm in the office however. Life would not go on without our garbage men and women out there. All day everyday rain snow or shine they out there.
This picture of a rainbow in WA proves nothing. How do we know if this rainbow was not on Mars or the ISS? Maybe it was drawn in on the picture. WA has mail-in voting so we do have to worry aboug rain, snow, poll workers not showing up or voting machines broke on election day !! https://t.co/5WdHx0acS0 https://t.co/BEKtTpBW9g

Voila, we have some Tweets. For interactive environments and other cases where you don't care about collecting your data in a single load or don't need to operate on the stream of Tweets directly, I recommend using this convenience function.
The ResultStream object will be powered by the search_args, and takes the query and other configuration parameters, including a hard stop on number of pages to limit your API call usage.
.. code:: python
rs = ResultStream(request_parameters=query, max_results=500, max_pages=1, **search_args)
print(rs)
::
ResultStream:
{
"endpoint":"https:\/\/api.twitter.com\/2\/tweets\/search\/recent",
"request_parameters":{
"query":"snow",
"max_results":100
},
"tweetify":false,
"max_results":1000
}
There is a function, .stream, that seamlessly handles requests and pagination for a given query. It returns a generator, and to grab our 1000 Tweets that mention snow we can do this:
.. code:: python
tweets = list(rs.stream())
.. code:: python
[print(tweet) for tweet in tweets[0:10]]

We can also use the Search API Counts endpoint to get counts of Tweets
that match our rule. Each request will return up to 30 days of results, and
each count request can be done on a minutely, hourly, or daily basis.
The underlying ResultStream object will handle converting your
endpoint to the count endpoint, and you have to specify the
count_bucket argument when making a rule to use it.
The process is very similar to grabbing Tweets, but has some minor differences.
.. code:: python
count_rule = gen_request_parameters("snow has:media", granularity="day")
counts = collect_results(count_rule, result_stream_args=enterprise_search_args)
Our results are pretty straightforward and can be rapidly used.

Any contributions should follow the following pattern:
git checkout -b my_new_featuresearchtweets/_version.py to
reflect your changes. We use Semantic Versioning <https://semver.org>__, so non-breaking enhancements
should increment the minor version, e.g., 1.5.0 -> 1.6.0, and
bugfixes will increment the last version, 1.6.0 -> 1.6.1.After the pull request process is accepted, package maintainers will handle building documentation and distribution to Pypi.
For reference, distributing to Pypi is accomplished by the following commands, ran from the root directory in the repo:
.. code:: bash
python setup.py bdist_wheel python setup.py sdist twine upload dist/*
If you receive an error during the twine upload step, it may due to the README.rst
having something invalid in its RST format. Using a RST linter will help fix that.
Also, as Pypi updates are made, you may want to clear out previous versions from the package.
This can be done with this command: rm -rf build dist *.egg-info
How to build the documentation:
Building the documentation requires a few Sphinx packages to build the webpages:
.. code:: bash
pip install sphinx pip install sphinx_bootstrap_theme pip install sphinxcontrib-napoleon
Then (once your changes are committed to master) you should be able to run the documentation-generating bash script and follow the instructions:
.. code:: bash
bash build_sphinx_docs.sh master searchtweets
Note that this README is also generated, and so after any README changes you'll need to re-build the README (you need pandoc version 2.1+ for this) and commit the result:
.. code:: bash
bash make_readme.sh
