With user context token:

>>> api = Api(
        consumer_key="consumer key",
        consumer_secret="consumer secret",
        access_token="access token",
        access_secret="access secret"
    )

Or with authorize by user:

>>> api = Api(consumer_key="consumer key",consumer_secret="consumer secret",oauth_flow=True)
# get url for user to authorize
>>> api.get_authorize_url()
# copy the response url
>>> api.generate_access_token("https://localhost/?oauth_token=oauth_token&oauth_verifier=oauth_verifier")
{'oauth_token': 'oauth_token',
 'oauth_token_secret': 'oauth_token_secret',
 'user_id': '123456',
 'screen_name': 'screen name'}

Twitter has announcing OAuth 2.0 beta

Now if you have app with OAuth2.0 client ID. you can do authorize with OAuth2.

>>> api = Api(client_id="You client ID", oauth_flow=True)
# get the url and code verifier for user to authorize
>>> url, code_verifier, _ = api.get_oauth2_authorize_url()
# copy the response url
>>> api.generate_oauth2_access_token("https://localhost/?state=state&code=code", code_verifier)
{'token_type': 'bearer',
 'expires_in': 7200,
 'access_token': 'access_token',
 'scope': 'users.read tweet.read',
 'expires_at': 1631775928}

Users-lookup

You can get information about a user or group of users, specified by a user ID or a username.

>>> api.get_user(user_id="783214")
Response(data=User(id='783214', name='Twitter', username='Twitter'))

# By username
>>> api.get_user(username="Twitter")
Response(data=User(id='783214', name='Twitter', username='Twitter'))

Streaming API

For Streaming, this provide StreamApi independent. Same as main Api, You need initial it first.

>>> from pytwitter import StreamApi
>>> stream_api = StreamApi(bearer_token="bearer token")
# or use consumer key and secret
>>> stream_api = StreamApi(consumer_key="consumer key", consumer_secret="consumer secret")

For Sample Stream tweets, You can use sample_stream function to build a connection.

>>> stream_api.sample_stream()

For Search Stream, You can point your rules.

Get your current rules.

>>> stream_api.get_rules()
Response(data=[StreamRule(id='1369580714056843266', value='twitter api ')])

Delete You rules.

>>> stream_api.manage_rules(rules={"delete": {"ids": ["1369580714056843266"]}})
Response(data=[])

Add new rules. If you set dry_run to True, will only validate rules, and not create them.

>>> np = {
        "add": [
            {"value": "cat has:media", "tag": "cats with media"},
            {"value": "cat has:media -grumpy", "tag": "happy cats with media"}
        ]
     }
>>> stream_api.manage_rules(rules=np, dry_run=True)
Response(data=[StreamRule(id='1370406958721732610', value='cat has:media -grumpy'), StreamRule(id='1370406958721732609', value='cat has:media')])

Then you can use search_stream to get tweets match your rules.

>>> stream_api.search_stream()

You can go to the Example folder for streaming examples.
