To obtain a user's timeline, you only have to specify its screen_name passing it as a parameter to api.user_timeline() . You can see the list of parameters and their meanings in the API documentation .
To obtain the date, the author and the text simply access the attribute you want, in your case:
-
status.created_at returns the date and time in type datetime .
-
status.author.screen_name returns a string with the name (screen_name) of the tweet. You can get much more information about the author, such as id, language, location, profile image, followers, etc. You can do print(status.author) to see the information returned.
-
status.text : returns a string with the text itself of the tweet
I'll give you a basic example based on your code so you can see how it works:
For Python 3.x:
import tweepy
CONSUMER_KEY = '*****'
CONSUMER_SECRET = '******'
ACCESS_TOKEN = '******'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = '******'
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
def get_stuff(nombre=None):
stuff = tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline, screen_name = nombre, include_rts = True)
return stuff
def get_tweets(stuff, n):
for status in stuff.items(n):
print(status.created_at, status.author.screen_name, status.text)
menu = '''
MENU
\t1.Mostrar mi TimeLine
\t2.Mostrar Timeline de otro usuario
\t3.Salir
Que quieres hacer: '''
opcion = 0
while not opcion == '3':
opcion = input(menu)
if opcion == '1':
n = int(input('Cuantos tweets desea obtener: '))
stuff = get_stuff()
get_tweets(stuff, n)
elif opcion == '2':
nombre = input('Ingrese el nombre del usuario: ')
n = int(input('Cuantos tweets desea obtener: '))
stuff = get_stuff(nombre)
get_tweets(stuff, n)
else:
print('Opción no válida')
For Python 2.X:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import tweepy
CONSUMER_KEY = 'Ifdw98rDoyw8K9KCnQTVvgvNt'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'hif0sSJ4nHdVBm7R7ldQlEPiUEw6WTgqgvSvpSBo0BPCEbj8Yf'
ACCESS_TOKEN = '564045096-WCVSX3KicrOw0f1uu3J4yAwa9dnYO7S8O9ZIpv3c'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'D4wLAiu4Wa3qwEihV6RqO8SCZ5apGKN9NFKir4Cx264EO'
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
def get_stuff(nombre=None):
stuff = tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline, screen_name = nombre, include_rts = True)
return stuff
def get_tweets(stuff, n):
for status in stuff.items(n):
print '{0} {1} {2}'.format(
status.created_at.strftime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"),
status.author.screen_name.encode('utf8'),
status.text.encode('utf8')
)
menu = '''
MENU
\t1.Mostrar mi TimeLine
\t2.Mostrar Timeline de otro usuario
\t3.Salir
Que quieres hacer: '''
opcion = ''
while not opcion == '3':
opcion = raw_input(menu)
if opcion == '1':
n = input('Cuantos tweets desea obtener: ')
stuff = get_stuff()
get_tweets(stuff, n)
elif opcion == '2':
nombre = raw_input('Ingrese el nombre del usuario: ')
n = input('Cuantos tweets desea obtener: ')
stuff = get_stuff(nombre)
get_tweets(stuff, n)
else:
print('Opción no válida')
Example using option 2 to get the 5 tweets from the StackOverflow twitter:
MENU
1.Mostrar mi TimeLine
2.Mostrar Timeline de otro usuario
3.Salir
Que quieres hacer: 2
Ingrese el nombre del usuario: StackOverflow
Cuantos tweets desea obtener: 5
