Project description
Tweetipy
A simple "type hinted" Python client for interacting with Twitter's API.
pip -m install tweetipy
To use it, setup a developer account under developer.twitter.com.
After that, create an app from the developer dashboard and generate the needed tokens ("API Key and Secret").
Please note that the library does not yet implement the full Twitter API, but rather only some endpoints that are interesting for my projects. Also, although it is already working, please be aware that this library is still in early development phase and thus breaking changes might occur. In other words, don't rely on it for production just yet.
In any case, feel free to use it for your own projects. Do create issues if anything weird pops up. Pull requests and feature requests are welcome!
Examples
Posting a tweet
from tweetipy import Tweetipy
# Initialize client
ttpy = Tweetipy(
'YOUR_TWITTER_API_KEY',
'YOUR_TWITTER_API_KEY_SECRET')
# Post tweet to Twitter
tweet: Tweet = ttpy.tweets.write("Look mom, I'm using Twitter API!")
# See the uploaded tweet! :)
print(tweet)
Posting a tweet with media
from tweetipy import Tweetipy
from tweetipy.types import Media
# Initialize client
ttpy = Tweetipy(
'YOUR_TWITTER_API_KEY',
'YOUR_TWITTER_API_KEY_SECRET')
# Read some picture and upload the bytes to Twitter
pic_bytes = open('path/to/pic.jpeg', 'rb').read()
uploaded_media = ttpy.media.upload(pic_bytes, media_type="image/jpeg")
# Post media tweet to Twitter
tweet = ttpy.tweets.write(
"This tweet contains some media!",
media=Media([uploaded_media.media_id_string]))
# See the uploaded media tweet! :)
print(tweet)
