Tweepy VS twarc

How is this much different than what tweepy does?

There are plenty of open source modules you can use, such as tweepy, which will make it a lot easier for you.

I chose Python as a language to handle the streaming, because a) it’s the language I’m strongest in, and b) because of tweepy.

· Tweepy. An easy-to-use Python library for accessing the Twitter API.

As announced in this blog post, the Twitter API v2 supports the ability to get metadata about edited Tweets. In this short guide, I will showcase how developers and researchers can get information about edited Tweets from the Twitter API v2 in Python using Tweepy.

In this tutorial, we will configure AWS CodePipeline to build an ECR image and deploy the latest version to lambda container. The application code will stream tweets using Tweepy, a Python library for accessing the Twitter API. First we need to setup CodePipeline and the various stages to deploy application code to lambda image which will stream tweets when invoked. The intended devops architecture is as below.

That means you need a requirements.txt file in your repo somewhere, and it needs to list the dependencies for your project. A good way of knowing what the dependencies are is to check what you imported at the beginning of your python file. For my bots, I need Tweepy, config, and Python-dotenv Requirements.txt looks like this for Divas, my Twitter Bot Collection.

you can easily make a simple script with tweepy that scrapes the data and puts it into whatever file you need

In order to use the Twitter API v2, you need to apply for a Twitter developer account. Once you have an approved Twitter developer account, follow the instruction here to obtain your BEARER TOKEN that you will use to connect to the Twitter API v2 in you code in Python. We will be using the Tweepy package in Python to get images from the Twitter API v2, so you will need to have Python as well as the Tweepy package installed on your machine. Instructions on installing the Tweepy package can be found in this tutorial.

Goddamnit. Any recommendation for easy-to-use tools to archive all tweets from specific accounts? I only know twarc but never got around to trying it out.

Depending on the rigor you need out of this, a simple process like running twarc against your list of Twitter handles or IDs on a set interval may be sufficient. Then just process the output into whichever database you want it in. For my own process I run a custom scraper based on tweepy, but I'm ingesting around 80M tweets per month. This is all well within the API limits set out by Twitter, using just 1 account.
