I am requesting Twitter API v2 to get the Tweet's details and using a Client object which is required to authenticate.
import tweepy, config
client = tweepy.Client(bearer_token=config.BEARER_TOKEN, consumer_key=config.API_KEY, consumer_secret=config.API_SECRET, access_token=config.ACCESS_TOKEN,access_token_secret=config.ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,wait_on_rate_limit=False)
x = client.get_tweet(id =1490880839844233218,tweet_fields="lang", expansions = ["author_id","attachments.media_keys"], media_fields = ["type","url","media_key"] )
print(x)
But I don't get the url media field.
Response(data=<Tweet id=1490880839844233218 text=Android 12's February security patches are ready to rollout! https://mobile.twitter.com/EvolutionXROM/status/1490880839844233218>, includes={'media': [<Media media_key=3_1490880836576550914 type=photo>], 'users': [<User id=1106906709786656768 name=Evolution X username=EvolutionXROM>]}, errors=[], meta={})
But if I request the same thing with curl:
curl --request GET 'https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/1490880839844233218?&tweet.fields=lang&expansions=author_id,attachments.media_keys&media.fields=media_key,type,url' --header 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN'
I get this response.
{"data":{"lang":"en","author_id":"1106906709786656768","text":"Android 12's February security patches are ready to rollout! https://mobile.twitter.com/EvolutionXROM/status/1490880839844233218","attachments":{"media_keys":["3_1490880836576550914"]},"id":"1490880839844233218"},"includes":{"media":[{"media_key":"3_1490880836576550914","type":"photo","url":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLCsOMqVIAI_Emf.jpg"}],"users":[{"id":"1106906709786656768","name":"Evolution X","username":"EvolutionXROM"}]}}
As you can see here, if I request using curl, the media url appears as a media field.
Even though I found a workaround using the Twitter API v1 get_status method, I want to get this to work using the latest API v2.
With Twitter API v1 :
import tweepy, config
auth = tweepy.OAuth2BearerHandler(bearer_token = config.BEARER_TOKEN)
api = tweepy.API(auth=auth)
status = api.get_status(tweet_id,tweet_mode='extended')
print(status)
Response :
Status(_api=<tweepy.api.API object at 0x71bd8b3580>, _json={'created_at': 'Tue Feb 08 02:51:06 0000 2022', 'id': 1490880839844233218, 'id_str': '1490880839844233218', 'full_text': "Android 12's February security patches are ready to rollout! https://mobile.twitter.com/EvolutionXROM/status/1490880839844233218", 'truncated': False, 'display_text_range': [0, 60], 'entities': {'hashtags': [], 'symbols': [], 'user_mentions': [], 'urls': [], 'media': [{'id': 1490880836576550914, 'id_str': '1490880836576550914', 'indices': [61, 84], 'media_url': 'http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLCsOMqVIAI_Emf.jpg', 'media_url_https': 'https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLCsOMqVIAI_Emf.jpg',......
I am not posting the full response here because it's too large.
CodePudding user response：
If you are simply printing the objects and looking at that output, the string representations of API v2 models/objects only include the default attributes that are guaranteed to exist.
The objects themselves still include the relevant data, which you can access as attributes or by key, like a dictionary.
