Getting started
***************
Introduction
============
If you are new to Tweepy, this is the place to begin. The goal of this
tutorial is to get you set-up and rolling with Tweepy. We won't go
into too much detail here, just some important basics.
Hello Tweepy
============
.. code-block :: python
import tweepy
auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(
consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_token_secret
)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
public_tweets = api.home_timeline()
for tweet in public_tweets:
print(tweet.text)
This example will download your home timeline tweets and print each
one of their texts to the console. Twitter requires all requests to
use OAuth for authentication.
The :ref:`authentication` documentation goes into more details about
authentication.
API
===
The API class provides access to the entire twitter RESTful API
methods. Each method can accept various parameters and return
responses. For more information about these methods please refer to
:ref:`API Reference <api_reference>`.
Models
======
When we invoke an API method most of the time returned back to us will
be a Tweepy model class instance. This will contain the data returned
from Twitter which we can then use inside our application. For example
the following code returns to us a User model::
# Get the User object for twitter...
user = api.get_user(screen_name='twitter')
Models contain the data and some helper methods which we can then
use::
print(user.screen_name)
print(user.followers_count)
for friend in user.friends():
print(friend.screen_name)
For more information about models please see ModelsReference.
