/ overview
The Code! Be sure to change the "APIrelatedkeys" to your API keys from Twitter Streaming API:
#Import the necessary methods from tweepy library
from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy import Stream
import json
#Variables that contains the user credentials to access Twitter API
access_token = "APIrelatedkeys"
access_token_secret = "APIrelatedkeys"
consumer_key = "APIrelatedkeys"
consumer_secret = "APIrelatedkeys"
#This is a basic listener that just prints received tweets to stdout.
class StdOutListener(StreamListener):
def on_data(self, data):
decoded = json.loads(data)
print (decoded['user']['screen_name'], decoded['text'].encode('ascii', 'ignore'))
return True
def on_error(self, status):
print(status)
if _name_ == '__main__':
#This handles Twitter authetification and the connection to Twitter Streaming API
l = StdOutListener()
auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
stream = Stream(auth, l)
#This line filter Twitter Streams to capture data by the keyword: 'python'
stream.filter(track=['python'])
