Advanced Usage
==============
This section will cover how to use Twython and interact with some more advanced API calls
Before you make any API calls, make sure you :ref:`authenticated the user <starting-out>` (or :ref:`app <oauth2>`)!
.. note:: All sections on this page will assume you're using a Twython instance
*******************************************************************************
Create a Twython instance with your application keys and the users OAuth tokens
.. code-block:: python
from twython import Twython
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
Updating Status with Image
--------------------------
This uploads an image as a media object and associates it with a status update.
.. code-block:: python
photo = open('/path/to/file/image.jpg', 'rb')
response = twitter.upload_media(media=photo)
twitter.update_status(status='Checkout this cool image!', media_ids=[response['media_id']])
Documentation:
* https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/api-reference-index
* https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/media/upload-media/overview
Updating Status with Video
--------------------------
This uploads a video as a media object and associates it with a status update.
.. code-block:: python
video = open('/path/to/file/video.mp4', 'rb')
response = twitter.upload_video(media=video, media_type='video/mp4')
twitter.update_status(status='Checkout this cool video!', media_ids=[response['media_id']])
Documentation:
* https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/api-reference-index
* https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/media/upload-media/overview
Posting a Status with an Editing Image
--------------------------------------
This example resizes an image, then uploads it as a media object and associates it
with a status update.
.. code-block:: python
# Assume you are working with a JPEG
from PIL import Image
try:
# Python 3
from io import StringIO
except ImportError:
# Python 2
from StringIO import StringIO
photo = Image.open('/path/to/file/image.jpg')
basewidth = 320
wpercent = (basewidth / float(photo.size[0]))
height = int((float(photo.size[1]) * float(wpercent)))
photo = photo.resize((basewidth, height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
image_io = StringIO.StringIO()
photo.save(image_io, format='JPEG')
# If you do not seek(0), the image will be at the end of the file and
# unable to be read
image_io.seek(0)
response = twitter.upload_media(media=image_io)
twitter.update_status(status='Checkout this cool image!', media_ids=[response['media_id']])
Search Generator
----------------
So, if you're pretty into Python, you probably know about `generators <http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/classes.html#generators>`_
That being said, Twython offers a generator for search results and can be accessed by using the following code:
.. code-block:: python
from twython import Twython
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET, OAUTH_TOKEN,
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
results = twitter.cursor(twitter.search, q='python')
for result in results:
print(result)
Manipulate the Request (headers, proxies, etc.)
-----------------------------------------------
There are times when you may want to turn SSL verification off, send custom headers, or add proxies for the request to go through.
Twython uses the `requests <http://python-requests.org>`_ library to make API calls to Twitter. ``requests`` accepts a few parameters to allow developers to manipulate the acutal HTTP request.
Here is an example of sending custom headers to a Twitter API request:
.. code-block:: python
from twython import Twython
client_args = {
'headers': {
'User-Agent': 'My App Name'
}
}
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET,
client_args=client_args)
Here is an example of sending the request through proxies:
.. code-block:: python
from twython import Twython
client_args = {
'proxies': {
'http': 'http://10.0.10.1:8000',
'https': 'https://10.0.10.1:8001',
}
}
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET,
client_args=client_args)
or both (and set a timeout variable):
.. code-block:: python
from twython import Twython
client_args = {
'headers': {
'User-Agent': 'My App Name'
},
'proxies': {
'http': 'http://10.0.10.1:8000',
'https': 'https://10.0.10.1:8001',
}
'timeout': 300,
}
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET,
client_args=client_args)
Access Headers of Previous Call
-------------------------------
There are times when you may want to check headers from the previous call.
If you wish to access headers (ex. x-rate-limit-remaining, x-rate-limit-reset, content-type), you'll use the ``get_lastfunction_header`` method.
.. code-block:: python
from twython import Twython
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
twitter.get_home_timeline()
twitter.get_lastfunction_header('x-rate-limit-remaining')
So now you can authenticate, update your status (with or without an image), search Twitter, and a few other things! Good luck!
