twitter-user (Outdated)

A light & organized Python module built with the sole purpose of extracting a Twitter user-object while conforming to Tweepy standards, all without using Twitter's authenticated API.

Examples

Invoke The API

from twitter_user import TwitterUser

API = TwitterUser()

Fetch A User

user = API.fetchUser("Sethrogen")

Example - Fetch A User-Object

from twitter_user import TwitterUser

API  = TwitterUser()

seth = API.fetchUser("Sethrogen")


print("User's screen appearance is \"%s\"" % seth.name + "@" + seth.screen_name )

print("User's ID is %s" % seth.rest_id )

print("Favorited %s tweets" % seth.favorites_count )

print("Followed by %s users" % seth.followers_count )

print("Following %s users" % seth.friends_count )

print("Account was created %s days ago" % (datetime.now() - datetime.strptime(seth.created_at, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y")).days)

print("Account posts an average of %s tweets per day" % round(seth.statuses_count / (datetime.now() - datetime.strptime(seth.created_at, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y")).days ))

print("Account has posted a total of %s tweets" % seth.statuses_count)

print("Account Description: \n%s" % seth.description)

Example - Back-To-Back Fetch

from twitter_user import TwitterUser
from datetime import datetime

API = TwitterUser()





# Testing w/ my profile
me = API.fetchUser("rec0ndev")

print("User's screen appearance is \"%s\"" % me.name + "@" + me.screen_name )

print("User's ID is %s" % me.rest_id )

print("Favorited %s tweets" % me.favorites_count )

print("Followed by %s users" % me.followers_count )

print("Following %s users" % me.friends_count )

print("Account was created %s days ago" % (datetime.now() - datetime.strptime(me.created_at, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y")).days)

print("Account posts an average of %s tweets per day" % round(me.statuses_count / (datetime.now() - datetime.strptime(me.created_at, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y")).days ))

print("Account has posted a total of %s tweets" % me.statuses_count)

print("Account Description: \n%s" % me.description)




# Testing w/ Jack's profile
jack = API.fetchUser("jack")

print(jack.name, "@", jack.screen_name)

print(jack.timeline.json)

print(jack.media.json)
