Python Twitter
A Python wrapper around the Twitter API
Author: The Python-Twitter Developers <python-twitter@googlegroups.com> Introduction
This library provides a pure Python interface for the Twitter API.
Twitter (http://twitter.com) provides a service that allows people to connect via the web, IM, and SMS. Twitter exposes a web services API (http://dev.twitter.com/doc) and this library is intended to make it even easier for Python programmers to use. Building
From source:
Install the dependencies:
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/simplejson http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/ http://github.com/simplegeo/python-oauth2
Download the latest python-twitter library from:
http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/
Extract the source distribution and run:
$ python setup.py build $ python setup.py install
Testing
With setuptools installed:
$ python setup.py test
Without setuptools installed:
$ python twitter_test.py

Using
The library provides a Python wrapper around the Twitter API and the Twitter data model.
Model:
The three model classes are twitter.Status, twitter.User, and twitter.DirectMessage. The API methods return instances of these classes.
To read the full API for twitter.Status, twitter.User, or twitter.DirectMessage, run:
$ pydoc twitter.Status $ pydoc twitter.User $ pydoc twitter.DirectMessage
API:
The API is exposed via the twitter.Api class.
To create an instance of the twitter.Api class:
>>> import twitter >>> api = twitter.Api()
To create an instance of the twitter.Api with login credentials (many API calls required the client to be authenticated.)
The python-twitter library now only supports oAuth authentication as the Twitter devs have indicated that oAuth is the only method that will be supported moving forward.
>>> api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='consumer_key',
consumer_secret='consumer_secret', access_token_key='access_token', access_token_secret='access_token_secret')
To see if your credentials are successful:
NOTE - much more than the small sample given here will print
>>> print api.VerifyCredentials() {"id": 16133, "location": "Philadelphia", "name": "bear"}
To fetch the most recently posted public Twitter status messages:
>>> statuses = api.GetPublicTimeline() >>> print [s.user.name for s in statuses] [u'DeWitt', u'Kesuke Miyagi', u'ev', u'Buzz Andersen', u'Biz Stone']
To fetch a single user's public status messages, where "user" is either a Twitter "short name" or their user id.
>>> statuses = api.GetUserTimeline(user) >>> print [s.text for s in statuses]
To fetch a list a user's friends (requires authentication):
>>> users = api.GetFriends() >>> print [u.name for u in users]
To post a Twitter status message (requires authentication):
>>> status = api.PostUpdate('I love python-twitter!') >>> print status.text I love python-twitter!
There are many more API methods, to read the full API documentation:
$ pydoc twitter.Api
