Python: Tweepy Comment Picker no attribute comments-CodePudding

I wrote a small python script to pick a random comment under a tweet, but can't find a way around the error.

import random
import tweepy


consumer_key = 'xxx'
consumer_secret = 'xxx'
access_token = 'xxx'
access_token_secret = 'xxx'

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)


tweet_id = "xxx"  # zahlen mit tweet id ersetzten
comments = api.comments(tweet_id)


followed_user = "xxx"  # Ersetzen Sie durch das Handle des Benutzers, nach dem Sie filtern moechten
filtered_comments = [c for c in comments if c.user.screen_name == followed_user]

if filtered_comments:
    winner = random.choice(filtered_comments)
    print(f"Der Gewinner ist @{winner.user.screen_name} mit dem Kommentar: {winner.text}")
else:
    print("Keine Kommentare Gefunden.")

That is the error: AttributeError: 'API' object has no attribute 'comments' when i tried it other ways i get errors: AttributeError: 'API' object has no attribute 'search', and that i need evaluated api access

CodePudding user response：

The methods you are using seem not to exist in the API object. You can check tweepy's documentation to see available methods.

The API.search method was renamed to API.search_tweets in version 4.0 so you might want to check your tweepy version.

To solve your problem you can try this:

import random
import tweepy

consumer_key = 'xxx'
consumer_secret = 'xxx'
access_token = 'xxx'
access_token_secret = 'xxx'

auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)

tweet_id = "xxx"  # zahlen mit tweet id ersetzten
tweet = api.get_status(tweet_id, tweet_mode='extended')

comments = []
for page in tweepy.Cursor(api.search_tweets, q='to:{}'.format(tweet.user.screen_name), in_reply_to_status_id=tweet.id, tweet_mode='extended').pages(100):
    comments.extend(page)

followed_user = "xxx" # Ersetzen Sie durch das Handle des Benutzers, nach dem Sie filtern moechten
filtered_comments = [c for c in comments if c.user.screen_name == followed_user]

if filtered_comments:
    winner = random.choice(filtered_comments)
    print(f"Der Gewinner ist @{winner.user.screen_name} mit dem Kommentar: {winner.text}")
else:
    print("Keine Kommentare Gefunden.")
