How to user the Twitter API in python
A tutorial on using the twitter api in python:
Code:
from twitter import *
from tkinter import *
def showTweets(x, num):
display a number of new tweets and usernames
for i in range(0, num):
line1 = (x[i]['user']['screen_name'])
line2 = (x[i]['text'])
w = Label(master, text=line1 + "\n" + line2 + "\n\n")
w.pack()
def getTweets():
x = t.statuses.home_timeline(screen_name="putscreennamehere")
return x
def tweet():
global entryWidget
if entryWidget.get().strip() == "":
print("Empty")
else:
t.statuses.update(status=entryWidget.get().strip())
entryWidget.delete(0,END)
print("working")
Put in token, token_key, con_secret, con_secret_key
t = Twitter(
auth=OAuth('', '',
'', ''))
numberOfTweets = 10
master = Tk()
showTweets(getTweets(), numberOfTweets)
master.title("Tkinter Entry Widget")
master["padx"] = 40
master["pady"] = 20
Create a text frame to hold the text Label and the Entry widget
textFrame = Frame(master)
#Create a Label in textFrame
entryLabel = Label(textFrame)
entryLabel["text"] = "Make a new Tweet:"
entryLabel.pack(side=LEFT)
Create an Entry Widget in textFrame
entryWidget = Entry(textFrame)
entryWidget["width"] = 50
entryWidget.pack(side=LEFT)
textFrame.pack()
button = Button(master, text="Submit", command=tweet)
button.pack()
master.mainloop()
