I'm working on a screenshot bot for Twitter using Python.

My app collects tweet from a filtered stream and replies with an image of the tweet.

Yesterday, my bot worked well: connected to stream, and made replies.

Today, it still connects to stream but returns nothing.

Here is the code:

def get_stream(set):
    with requests.get(f"https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/stream?tweet.fields=id,author_id&user.fields=id,username&expansions=author_id,referenced_tweets.id", auth=bearer_oauth, stream=True) as response:
        print(response.status_code)
        if response.status_code == 429:
            print(f"returned code 429, waiting for 60 seconds to try again")
            print(response.text)
            time.sleep(60)
            return
        if response.status_code != 200:
            raise Exception(
                f"Cannot get stream (HTTP {response.status_code}): {response.text}"
                        )
        for response_line in response.iter_lines():
            if response_line:
                print(here)
                json_response = json.loads(response_line)
                print(json.dumps(json_response, indent=4))

I've searched everywhere I know for help on this issue. I've reduced the queries in my request.get line, I've chosen to use a with statement, nothing works.

response.text returns nothing at all, even though response.status_code returns 200.

I have also tried 2 different developer accounts for streaming authentication

This is an issue currently under investigation and not related to the specific code here, you would be best following the Twitter Developer Community discussion.

I figured out what the problem was, it is a problem in the Twitter side that caused streaming to fail for some accounts. It has been resolved now and everything works fine.
