Post Methods

Creating posts

PyTumblr lets you create all of the various types that Tumblr supports. When using these types there are a few defaults that are able to be used with any post type.

The default supported types are described below.

• state - a string, the state of the post. Supported types are published, draft, queue, private
• tags - a list, a list of strings that you want tagged on the post. eg: ["testing", "magic", "1"]
• tweet - a string, the string of the customized tweet you want. eg: "Man I love my mega awesome post!"
• date - a string, the customized GMT that you want
• format - a string, the format that your post is in. Support types are html or markdown
• slug - a string, the slug for the url of the post you want

We'll show examples throughout of these default examples while showcasing all the specific post types.

Creating a photo post

Creating a photo post supports a bunch of different options plus the described default options * caption - a string, the user supplied caption * link - a string, the "click-through" url for the photo * source - a string, the url for the photo you want to use (use this or the data parameter) * data - a list or string, a list of filepaths or a single file path for multipart file upload

#Creates a photo post using a source URL
client.create_photo(blogName, state="published", tags=["testing", "ok"],
                    source="https://68.media.tumblr.com/b965fbb2e501610a29d80ffb6fb3e1ad/tumblr_n55vdeTse11rn1906o1_500.jpg")

#Creates a photo post using a local filepath
client.create_photo(blogName, state="queue", tags=["testing", "ok"],
                    tweet="Woah this is an incredible sweet post [URL]",
                    data="/Users/johnb/path/to/my/image.jpg")

#Creates a photoset post using several local filepaths
client.create_photo(blogName, state="draft", tags=["jb is cool"], format="markdown",
                    data=["/Users/johnb/path/to/my/image.jpg", "/Users/johnb/Pictures/kittens.jpg"],
                    caption="## Mega sweet kittens")

Creating a text post

Creating a text post supports the same options as default and just a two other parameters * title - a string, the optional title for the post. Supports markdown or html * body - a string, the body of the of the post. Supports markdown or html

#Creating a text post
client.create_text(blogName, state="published", slug="testing-text-posts", title="Testing", body="testing1 2 3 4")

Creating a quote post

Creating a quote post supports the same options as default and two other parameter * quote - a string, the full text of the qote. Supports markdown or html * source - a string, the cited source. HTML supported

#Creating a quote post
client.create_quote(blogName, state="queue", quote="I am the Walrus", source="Ringo")

Creating a link post

• title - a string, the title of post that you want. Supports HTML entities.
• url - a string, the url that you want to create a link post for.
• description - a string, the desciption of the link that you have

#Create a link post
client.create_link(blogName, title="I like to search things, you should too.", url="https://duckduckgo.com",
                   description="Search is pretty cool when a duck does it.")

Creating a chat post

Creating a chat post supports the same options as default and two other parameters * title - a string, the title of the chat post * conversation - a string, the text of the conversation/chat, with diablog labels (no html)

#Create a chat post
chat = """John: Testing can be fun!
Renee: Testing is tedious and so are you.
John: Aw.
"""
client.create_chat(blogName, title="Renee just doesn't understand.", conversation=chat, tags=["renee", "testing"])

Creating an audio post

Creating an audio post allows for all default options and a has 3 other parameters. The only thing to keep in mind while dealing with audio posts is to make sure that you use the external_url parameter or data. You cannot use both at the same time. * caption - a string, the caption for your post * external_url - a string, the url of the site that hosts the audio file * data - a string, the filepath of the audio file you want to upload to Tumblr

#Creating an audio file
client.create_audio(blogName, caption="Rock out.", data="/Users/johnb/Music/my/new/sweet/album.mp3")

#lets use soundcloud!
client.create_audio(blogName, caption="Mega rock out.", external_url="https://soundcloud.com/skrillex/sets/recess")

Creating a video post

Creating a video post allows for all default options and has three other options. Like the other post types, it has some restrictions. You cannot use the embed and data parameters at the same time. * caption - a string, the caption for your post * embed - a string, the HTML embed code for the video * data - a string, the path of the file you want to upload

#Creating an upload from YouTube
client.create_video(blogName, caption="Jon Snow. Mega ridiculous sword.",
                    embed="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40pUYLacrj4")

#Creating a video post from local file
client.create_video(blogName, caption="testing", data="/Users/johnb/testing/ok/blah.mov")

Editing a post

Updating a post requires you knowing what type a post you're updating. You'll be able to supply to the post any of the options given above for updates.

client.edit_post(blogName, id=post_id, type="text", title="Updated")
client.edit_post(blogName, id=post_id, type="photo", data="/Users/johnb/mega/awesome.jpg")

Reblogging a Post

Reblogging a post just requires knowing the post id and the reblog key, which is supplied in the JSON of any post object.

client.reblog(blogName, id=125356, reblog_key="reblog_key")

Deleting a post

Deleting just requires that you own the post and have the post id

client.delete_post(blogName, 123456) # Deletes your post :(

A note on tags: When passing tags, as params, please pass them as a list (not a comma-separated string):

client.create_text(blogName, tags=['hello', 'world'], ...)

Getting notes for a post

In order to get the notes for a post, you need to have the post id and the blog that it is on.

data = client.notes(blogName, id='123456')

The results include a timestamp you can use to make future calls.

data = client.notes(blogName, id='123456', before_timestamp=data["_links"]["next"]["query_params"]["before_timestamp"])

Tagged Methods

# get posts with a given tag
client.tagged(tag, **params)

Using the interactive console

This client comes with a nice interactive console to run you through the OAuth process, grab your tokens (and store them for future use).

You'll need pyyaml installed to run it, but then it's just:

$ python interactive-console.py

and away you go! Tokens are stored in ~/.tumblr and are also shared by other Tumblr API clients like the Ruby client.

Running tests

The tests (and coverage reports) are run with nose, like this:

python setup.py test

Best Electric Bikes and Scooters for Rental Business or Campus Facility

The electric scooter revolution has caught on super-fast taking many cities across the globe by storm. eScooters, a renovated version of old-school scooters now turned into electric vehicles are an environmentally friendly solution to current on-demand commute problems. They work on engines, like cars, enabling short traveling distances without hassle. The result is that these groundbreaking electric machines can now provide faster transport for less — cheaper than Uber and faster than Metro.

Since they are durable, fast, easy to operate and maintain, and are more convenient to park compared to four-wheelers, the eScooters trend has and continues to spike interest as a promising growth area. Several companies and universities are increasingly setting up shop to provide eScooter services realizing a would-be profitable business model and a ready customer base that is university students or residents in need of faster and cheap travel going about their business in school, town, and other surrounding areas.

Electric Scooters Trends and Statistics

In many countries including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., Germany, France, China, Japan, India, Brazil and Mexico and more, a growing number of eScooter users both locals and tourists can now be seen effortlessly passing lines of drivers stuck in the endless and unmoving traffic.

A recent report by McKinsey revealed that the E-Scooter industry will be worth― $200 billion to $300 billion in the United States, $100 billion to $150 billion in Europe, and $30 billion to $50 billion in China in 2030. The e-Scooter revenue model will also spike and is projected to rise by more than 20% amounting to approximately $5 billion.

And, with a necessity to move people away from high carbon prints, traffic and congestion issues brought about by car-centric transport systems in cities, more and more city planners are developing more bike/scooter lanes and adopting zero-emission plans. This is the force behind the booming electric scooter market and the numbers will only go higher and higher.

Companies that have taken advantage of the growing eScooter trend develop an appthat allows them to provide efficient eScooter services. Such an app enables them to be able to locate bike pick-up and drop points through fully integrated google maps.

List of Best Electric Bikes for Rental Business or Campus Facility 2020:

It’s clear that e scooters will increasingly become more common and the e-scooter business model will continue to grab the attention of manufacturers, investors, entrepreneurs. All this should go ahead with a quest to know what are some of the best electric bikes in the market especially for anyone who would want to get started in the electric bikes/scooters rental business.

We have done a comprehensive list of the best electric bikes! Each bike has been reviewed in depth and includes a full list of specs and a photo.

Exploring Mutable and Immutable in Python

In this Python article, let's learn about Mutable and Immutable in Python. 

Mutable and Immutable in Python

Mutable is a fancy way of saying that the internal state of the object is changed/mutated. So, the simplest definition is: An object whose internal state can be changed is mutable. On the other hand, immutable doesn’t allow any change in the object once it has been created.

Both of these states are integral to Python data structure. If you want to become more knowledgeable in the entire Python Data Structure, take this free course which covers multiple data structures in Python including tuple data structure which is immutable. You will also receive a certificate on completion which is sure to add value to your portfolio.

Mutable Definition

Mutable is when something is changeable or has the ability to change. In Python, ‘mutable’ is the ability of objects to change their values. These are often the objects that store a collection of data.

Immutable Definition

Immutable is the when no change is possible over time. In Python, if the value of an object cannot be changed over time, then it is known as immutable. Once created, the value of these objects is permanent.

List of Mutable and Immutable objects

Objects of built-in type that are mutable are:

• Lists
• Sets
• Dictionaries
• User-Defined Classes (It purely depends upon the user to define the characteristics) 

Objects of built-in type that are immutable are:

• Numbers (Integer, Rational, Float, Decimal, Complex & Booleans)
• Strings
• Tuples
• Frozen Sets
• User-Defined Classes (It purely depends upon the user to define the characteristics)

Object mutability is one of the characteristics that makes Python a dynamically typed language. Though Mutable and Immutable in Python is a very basic concept, it can at times be a little confusing due to the intransitive nature of immutability.

Objects in Python

In Python, everything is treated as an object. Every object has these three attributes:

• Identity – This refers to the address that the object refers to in the computer’s memory.
• Type – This refers to the kind of object that is created. For example- integer, list, string etc. 
• Value – This refers to the value stored by the object. For example – List=[1,2,3] would hold the numbers 1,2 and 3

While ID and Type cannot be changed once it’s created, values can be changed for Mutable objects.

Check out this free python certificate course to get started with Python.

Mutable Objects in Python

I believe, rather than diving deep into the theory aspects of mutable and immutable in Python, a simple code would be the best way to depict what it means in Python. Hence, let us discuss the below code step-by-step:

#Creating a list which contains name of Indian cities  

cities = [‘Delhi’, ‘Mumbai’, ‘Kolkata’]

# Printing the elements from the list cities, separated by a comma & space

for city in cities:
		print(city, end=’, ’)

Output [1]: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata

#Printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(cities)))

Output [2]: 0x1691d7de8c8

#Adding a new city to the list cities

cities.append(‘Chennai’)

#Printing the elements from the list cities, separated by a comma & space 

for city in cities:
	print(city, end=’, ’)

Output [3]: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai

#Printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(cities)))

Output [4]: 0x1691d7de8c8

The above example shows us that we were able to change the internal state of the object ‘cities’ by adding one more city ‘Chennai’ to it, yet, the memory address of the object did not change. This confirms that we did not create a new object, rather, the same object was changed or mutated. Hence, we can say that the object which is a type of list with reference variable name ‘cities’ is a MUTABLE OBJECT.

Let us now discuss the term IMMUTABLE. Considering that we understood what mutable stands for, it is obvious that the definition of immutable will have ‘NOT’ included in it. Here is the simplest definition of immutable– An object whose internal state can NOT be changed is IMMUTABLE.

Again, if you try and concentrate on different error messages, you have encountered, thrown by the respective IDE; you use you would be able to identify the immutable objects in Python. For instance, consider the below code & associated error message with it, while trying to change the value of a Tuple at index 0. 

#Creating a Tuple with variable name ‘foo’

foo = (1, 2)

#Changing the index[0] value from 1 to 3

foo[0] = 3
	
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment 

Immutable Objects in Python

Once again, a simple code would be the best way to depict what immutable stands for. Hence, let us discuss the below code step-by-step:

#Creating a Tuple which contains English name of weekdays

weekdays = ‘Sunday’, ‘Monday’, ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednesday’, ‘Thursday’, ‘Friday’, ‘Saturday’

# Printing the elements of tuple weekdays

print(weekdays)

Output [1]:  (‘Sunday’, ‘Monday’, ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednesday’, ‘Thursday’, ‘Friday’, ‘Saturday’)

#Printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(weekdays)))

Output [2]: 0x1691cc35090

#tuples are immutable, so you cannot add new elements, hence, using merge of tuples with the # + operator to add a new imaginary day in the tuple ‘weekdays’

weekdays  +=  ‘Pythonday’,

#Printing the elements of tuple weekdays

print(weekdays)

Output [3]: (‘Sunday’, ‘Monday’, ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednesday’, ‘Thursday’, ‘Friday’, ‘Saturday’, ‘Pythonday’)

#Printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(weekdays)))

Output [4]: 0x1691cc8ad68

This above example shows that we were able to use the same variable name that is referencing an object which is a type of tuple with seven elements in it. However, the ID or the memory location of the old & new tuple is not the same. We were not able to change the internal state of the object ‘weekdays’. The Python program manager created a new object in the memory address and the variable name ‘weekdays’ started referencing the new object with eight elements in it.  Hence, we can say that the object which is a type of tuple with reference variable name ‘weekdays’ is an IMMUTABLE OBJECT.

Where can you use mutable and immutable objects:

Mutable objects can be used where you want to allow for any updates. For example, you have a list of employee names in your organizations, and that needs to be updated every time a new member is hired. You can create a mutable list, and it can be updated easily.

Immutability offers a lot of useful applications to different sensitive tasks we do in a network centred environment where we allow for parallel processing. By creating immutable objects, you seal the values and ensure that no threads can invoke overwrite/update to your data. This is also useful in situations where you would like to write a piece of code that cannot be modified. For example, a debug code that attempts to find the value of an immutable object.

Watch outs:  Non transitive nature of Immutability:

OK! Now we do understand what mutable & immutable objects in Python are. Let’s go ahead and discuss the combination of these two and explore the possibilities. Let’s discuss, as to how will it behave if you have an immutable object which contains the mutable object(s)? Or vice versa? Let us again use a code to understand this behaviour–

#creating a tuple (immutable object) which contains 2 lists(mutable) as it’s elements

#The elements (lists) contains the name, age & gender 

person = (['Ayaan', 5, 'Male'], ['Aaradhya', 8, 'Female'])

#printing the tuple

print(person)

Output [1]: (['Ayaan', 5, 'Male'], ['Aaradhya', 8, 'Female'])

#printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(person)))

Output [2]: 0x1691ef47f88

#Changing the age for the 1st element. Selecting 1st element of tuple by using indexing [0] then 2nd element of the list by using indexing [1] and assigning a new value for age as 4

person[0][1] = 4

#printing the updated tuple

print(person)

Output [3]: (['Ayaan', 4, 'Male'], ['Aaradhya', 8, 'Female'])

#printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(person)))

Output [4]: 0x1691ef47f88

In the above code, you can see that the object ‘person’ is immutable since it is a type of tuple. However, it has two lists as it’s elements, and we can change the state of lists (lists being mutable). So, here we did not change the object reference inside the Tuple, but the referenced object was mutated.

Also Read: Real-Time Object Detection Using TensorFlow

Same way, let’s explore how it will behave if you have a mutable object which contains an immutable object? Let us again use a code to understand the behaviour–

#creating a list (mutable object) which contains tuples(immutable) as it’s elements

list1 = [(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]

#printing the list

print(list1)

Output [1]: [(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]

#printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(list1)))

Output [2]: 0x1691d5b13c8	

#changing object reference at index 0

list1[0] = (7, 8, 9)

#printing the list

Output [3]: [(7, 8, 9), (4, 5, 6)]

#printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(list1)))

Output [4]: 0x1691d5b13c8

As an individual, it completely depends upon you and your requirements as to what kind of data structure you would like to create with a combination of mutable & immutable objects. I hope that this information will help you while deciding the type of object you would like to select going forward.

Before I end our discussion on IMMUTABILITY, allow me to use the word ‘CAVITE’ when we discuss the String and Integers. There is an exception, and you may see some surprising results while checking the truthiness for immutability. For instance:
#creating an object of integer type with value 10 and reference variable name ‘x’ 

x = 10
 

#printing the value of ‘x’

print(x)

Output [1]: 10

#Printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(x)))

Output [2]: 0x538fb560

#creating an object of integer type with value 10 and reference variable name ‘y’

y = 10

#printing the value of ‘y’

print(y)

Output [3]: 10

#Printing the location of the object created in the memory address in hexadecimal format

print(hex(id(y)))

Output [4]: 0x538fb560

As per our discussion and understanding, so far, the memory address for x & y should have been different, since, 10 is an instance of Integer class which is immutable. However, as shown in the above code, it has the same memory address. This is not something that we expected. It seems that what we have understood and discussed, has an exception as well.

Quick check – Python Data Structures

Immutability of Tuple

Tuples are immutable and hence cannot have any changes in them once they are created in Python. This is because they support the same sequence operations as strings. We all know that strings are immutable. The index operator will select an element from a tuple just like in a string. Hence, they are immutable.

Exceptions in immutability

Like all, there are exceptions in the immutability in python too. Not all immutable objects are really mutable. This will lead to a lot of doubts in your mind. Let us just take an example to understand this.

Consider a tuple ‘tup’.

Now, if we consider tuple tup = (‘GreatLearning’,[4,3,1,2]) ;

We see that the tuple has elements of different data types. The first element here is a string which as we all know is immutable in nature. The second element is a list which we all know is mutable. Now, we all know that the tuple itself is an immutable data type. It cannot change its contents. But, the list inside it can change its contents. So, the value of the Immutable objects cannot be changed but its constituent objects can. change its value.

FAQs

1. Difference between mutable vs immutable in Python?

Mutable Object	Immutable Object
State of the object can be modified after it is created.	State of the object can’t be modified once it is created.
They are not thread safe.	They are thread safe
Mutable classes are not final.	It is important to make the class final before creating an immutable object.

2. What are the mutable and immutable data types in Python?

• Some mutable data types in Python are:

list, dictionary, set, user-defined classes.

• Some immutable data types are: 

int, float, decimal, bool, string, tuple, range.

3. Are lists mutable in Python?

Lists in Python are mutable data types as the elements of the list can be modified, individual elements can be replaced, and the order of elements can be changed even after the list has been created.
(Examples related to lists have been discussed earlier in this blog.)

4. Why are tuples called immutable types?

Tuple and list data structures are very similar, but one big difference between the data types is that lists are mutable, whereas tuples are immutable. The reason for the tuple’s immutability is that once the elements are added to the tuple and the tuple has been created; it remains unchanged.

A programmer would always prefer building a code that can be reused instead of making the whole data object again. Still, even though tuples are immutable, like lists, they can contain any Python object, including mutable objects.

5. Are sets mutable in Python?

A set is an iterable unordered collection of data type which can be used to perform mathematical operations (like union, intersection, difference etc.). Every element in a set is unique and immutable, i.e. no duplicate values should be there, and the values can’t be changed. However, we can add or remove items from the set as the set itself is mutable.

6. Are strings mutable in Python?

Strings are not mutable in Python. Strings are a immutable data types which means that its value cannot be updated.

Cómo Extraer Datos De Twitter Usando Tweepy Y Snscrape

Si es un entusiasta de los datos, probablemente estará de acuerdo en que una de las fuentes más ricas de datos del mundo real son las redes sociales. Sitios como Twitter están llenos de datos.

Puede usar los datos que puede obtener de las redes sociales de varias maneras, como el análisis de sentimientos (análisis de los pensamientos de las personas) sobre un tema o campo de interés específico.

Hay varias formas de raspar (o recopilar) datos de Twitter. Y en este artículo, veremos dos de esas formas: usando Tweepy y Snscrape.

Aprenderemos un método para recopilar conversaciones públicas de personas sobre un tema de tendencia específico, así como tweets de un usuario en particular.

Ahora, sin más preámbulos, comencemos.

Tweepy vs Snscrape – Introducción a nuestras herramientas de raspado

Ahora, antes de entrar en la implementación de cada plataforma, intentemos comprender las diferencias y los límites de cada plataforma.

llorona

Tweepy es una biblioteca de Python para integrarse con la API de Twitter. Debido a que Tweepy está conectado con la API de Twitter, puede realizar consultas complejas además de raspar tweets. Le permite aprovechar todas las capacidades de la API de Twitter.

Pero hay algunos inconvenientes, como el hecho de que su API estándar solo le permite recopilar tweets durante un máximo de una semana (es decir, Tweepy no permite la recuperación de tweets más allá de una ventana de una semana, por lo que no se permite la recuperación de datos históricos).

Además, hay límites en la cantidad de tweets que puede recuperar de la cuenta de un usuario. Puedes leer más sobre las funcionalidades de Tweepy aquí .

Snscrape

Snscrape es otro enfoque para extraer información de Twitter que no requiere el uso de una API. Snscrape le permite recopilar información básica, como el perfil de un usuario, el contenido del tweet, la fuente, etc.

Snscrape no se limita a Twitter, sino que también puede extraer contenido de otras redes sociales destacadas como Facebook, Instagram y otras.

Sus ventajas son que no hay límites para la cantidad de tweets que puede recuperar o la ventana de tweets (es decir, el rango de fechas de los tweets). Entonces Snscrape le permite recuperar datos antiguos.

Pero la única desventaja es que carece de todas las demás funcionalidades de Tweepy; aún así, si solo desea raspar tweets, Snscrape sería suficiente.

Ahora que hemos aclarado la distinción entre los dos métodos, repasemos su implementación uno por uno.

Cómo usar Tweepy para raspar tweets

Antes de comenzar a usar Tweepy, primero debemos asegurarnos de que nuestras credenciales de Twitter estén listas. Con eso, podemos conectar Tweepy a nuestra clave API y comenzar a raspar.

Si no tiene credenciales de Twitter, puede registrarse para obtener una cuenta de desarrollador de Twitter yendo aquí . Se le harán algunas preguntas básicas sobre cómo pretende utilizar la API de Twitter. Después de eso, puede comenzar la implementación.

El primer paso es instalar la biblioteca Tweepy en su máquina local, lo que puede hacer escribiendo:

pip install git+https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git

Cómo extraer tweets de un usuario en Twitter

Ahora que hemos instalado la biblioteca Tweepy, raspamos 100 tweets de un usuario llamado johnen Twitter. Veremos la implementación del código completo que nos permitirá hacer esto y lo discutiremos en detalle para que podamos comprender lo que está sucediendo:

import tweepy

consumer_key = "XXXX" #Your API/Consumer key 
consumer_secret = "XXXX" #Your API/Consumer Secret Key
access_token = "XXXX"    #Your Access token key
access_token_secret = "XXXX" #Your Access token Secret key

#Pass in our twitter API authentication key
auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(
    consumer_key, consumer_secret,
    access_token, access_token_secret
)

#Instantiate the tweepy API
api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True)


username = "john"
no_of_tweets =100


try:
    #The number of tweets we want to retrieved from the user
    tweets = api.user_timeline(screen_name=username, count=no_of_tweets)
    
    #Pulling Some attributes from the tweet
    attributes_container = [[tweet.created_at, tweet.favorite_count,tweet.source,  tweet.text] for tweet in tweets]

    #Creation of column list to rename the columns in the dataframe
    columns = ["Date Created", "Number of Likes", "Source of Tweet", "Tweet"]
    
    #Creation of Dataframe
    tweets_df = pd.DataFrame(attributes_container, columns=columns)
except BaseException as e:
    print('Status Failed On,',str(e))
    time.sleep(3)

Ahora repasemos cada parte del código en el bloque anterior.

import tweepy

consumer_key = "XXXX" #Your API/Consumer key 
consumer_secret = "XXXX" #Your API/Consumer Secret Key
access_token = "XXXX"    #Your Access token key
access_token_secret = "XXXX" #Your Access token Secret key

#Pass in our twitter API authentication key
auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(
    consumer_key, consumer_secret,
    access_token, access_token_secret
)

#Instantiate the tweepy API
api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True)

En el código anterior, hemos importado la biblioteca Tweepy a nuestro código, luego hemos creado algunas variables donde almacenamos nuestras credenciales de Twitter (el controlador de autenticación de Tweepy requiere cuatro de nuestras credenciales de Twitter). Entonces pasamos esas variables al controlador de autenticación Tweepy y las guardamos en otra variable.

Luego, la última declaración de llamada es donde instanciamos la API de Tweepy y pasamos los parámetros requeridos.

username = "john"
no_of_tweets =100


try:
    #The number of tweets we want to retrieved from the user
    tweets = api.user_timeline(screen_name=username, count=no_of_tweets)
    
    #Pulling Some attributes from the tweet
    attributes_container = [[tweet.created_at, tweet.favorite_count,tweet.source,  tweet.text] for tweet in tweets]

    #Creation of column list to rename the columns in the dataframe
    columns = ["Date Created", "Number of Likes", "Source of Tweet", "Tweet"]
    
    #Creation of Dataframe
    tweets_df = pd.DataFrame(attributes_container, columns=columns)
except BaseException as e:
    print('Status Failed On,',str(e))

En el código anterior, creamos el nombre del usuario (el @nombre en Twitter) del que queremos recuperar los tweets y también la cantidad de tweets. Luego creamos un controlador de excepciones para ayudarnos a detectar errores de una manera más efectiva.

Después de eso, api.user_timeline()devuelve una colección de los tweets más recientes publicados por el usuario que elegimos en el screen_nameparámetro y la cantidad de tweets que desea recuperar.

En la siguiente línea de código, pasamos algunos atributos que queremos recuperar de cada tweet y los guardamos en una lista. Para ver más atributos que puede recuperar de un tweet, lea esto .

En el último fragmento de código, creamos un marco de datos y pasamos la lista que creamos junto con los nombres de la columna que creamos.

Tenga en cuenta que los nombres de las columnas deben estar en la secuencia de cómo los pasó al contenedor de atributos (es decir, cómo pasó esos atributos en una lista cuando estaba recuperando los atributos del tweet).

Si seguiste correctamente los pasos que describí, deberías tener algo como esto:

Ahora que hemos terminado, repasemos un ejemplo más antes de pasar a la implementación de Snscrape.

Cómo extraer tweets de una búsqueda de texto

En este método, recuperaremos un tweet basado en una búsqueda. Puedes hacerlo así:

import tweepy

consumer_key = "XXXX" #Your API/Consumer key 
consumer_secret = "XXXX" #Your API/Consumer Secret Key
access_token = "XXXX"    #Your Access token key
access_token_secret = "XXXX" #Your Access token Secret key

#Pass in our twitter API authentication key
auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(
    consumer_key, consumer_secret,
    access_token, access_token_secret
)

#Instantiate the tweepy API
api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True)


search_query = "sex for grades"
no_of_tweets =150


try:
    #The number of tweets we want to retrieved from the search
    tweets = api.search_tweets(q=search_query, count=no_of_tweets)
    
    #Pulling Some attributes from the tweet
    attributes_container = [[tweet.user.name, tweet.created_at, tweet.favorite_count, tweet.source,  tweet.text] for tweet in tweets]

    #Creation of column list to rename the columns in the dataframe
    columns = ["User", "Date Created", "Number of Likes", "Source of Tweet", "Tweet"]
    
    #Creation of Dataframe
    tweets_df = pd.DataFrame(attributes_container, columns=columns)
except BaseException as e:
    print('Status Failed On,',str(e))

El código anterior es similar al código anterior, excepto que cambiamos el método API de api.user_timeline()a api.search_tweets(). También hemos agregado tweet.user.namea la lista de contenedores de atributos.

En el código anterior, puede ver que pasamos dos atributos. Esto se debe a que si solo pasamos tweet.user, solo devolvería un objeto de usuario de diccionario. Entonces, también debemos pasar otro atributo que queremos recuperar del objeto de usuario, que es name.

Puede ir aquí para ver una lista de atributos adicionales que puede recuperar de un objeto de usuario. Ahora deberías ver algo como esto una vez que lo ejecutes:

Muy bien, eso casi concluye la implementación de Tweepy. Solo recuerda que hay un límite en la cantidad de tweets que puedes recuperar, y no puedes recuperar tweets de más de 7 días usando Tweepy.

Cómo usar Snscrape para raspar tweets

Como mencioné anteriormente, Snscrape no requiere credenciales de Twitter (clave API) para acceder a él. Tampoco hay límite para la cantidad de tweets que puede obtener.

Para este ejemplo, sin embargo, solo recuperaremos los mismos tweets que en el ejemplo anterior, pero usando Snscrape en su lugar.

Para usar Snscrape, primero debemos instalar su biblioteca en nuestra PC. Puedes hacerlo escribiendo:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape.git

Cómo raspar tweets de un usuario con Snscrape

Snscrape incluye dos métodos para obtener tweets de Twitter: la interfaz de línea de comandos (CLI) y Python Wrapper. Solo tenga en cuenta que Python Wrapper actualmente no está documentado, pero aún podemos salir adelante con prueba y error.

En este ejemplo, usaremos Python Wrapper porque es más intuitivo que el método CLI. Pero si te quedas atascado con algún código, siempre puedes recurrir a la comunidad de GitHub para obtener ayuda. Los colaboradores estarán encantados de ayudarte.

Para recuperar tweets de un usuario en particular, podemos hacer lo siguiente:

import snscrape.modules.twitter as sntwitter
import pandas as pd

# Created a list to append all tweet attributes(data)
attributes_container = []

# Using TwitterSearchScraper to scrape data and append tweets to list
for i,tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('from:john').get_items()):
    if i>100:
        break
    attributes_container.append([tweet.date, tweet.likeCount, tweet.sourceLabel, tweet.content])
    
# Creating a dataframe from the tweets list above 
tweets_df = pd.DataFrame(attributes_container, columns=["Date Created", "Number of Likes", "Source of Tweet", "Tweets"])

Repasemos algunos de los códigos que quizás no entiendas a primera vista:

for i,tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('from:john').get_items()):
    if i>100:
        break
    attributes_container.append([tweet.date, tweet.likeCount, tweet.sourceLabel, tweet.content])
    
  
# Creating a dataframe from the tweets list above 
tweets_df = pd.DataFrame(attributes_container, columns=["Date Created", "Number of Likes", "Source of Tweet", "Tweets"])

En el código anterior, lo que sntwitter.TwitterSearchScaperhace es devolver un objeto de tweets del nombre del usuario que le pasamos (que es john).

Como mencioné anteriormente, Snscrape no tiene límites en la cantidad de tweets, por lo que devolverá la cantidad de tweets de ese usuario. Para ayudar con esto, necesitamos agregar la función de enumeración que iterará a través del objeto y agregará un contador para que podamos acceder a los 100 tweets más recientes del usuario.

Puede ver que la sintaxis de los atributos que obtenemos de cada tweet se parece a la de Tweepy. Esta es la lista de atributos que podemos obtener del tweet Snscrape que fue curado por Martin Beck.

Se pueden agregar más atributos, ya que la biblioteca Snscrape aún está en desarrollo. Como por ejemplo en la imagen de arriba, sourceha sido reemplazado por sourceLabel. Si pasa solo sourcedevolverá un objeto.

Si ejecuta el código anterior, también debería ver algo como esto:

Imagen por autor

Ahora hagamos lo mismo para raspar por búsqueda.

Cómo extraer tweets de una búsqueda de texto con Snscrape

import snscrape.modules.twitter as sntwitter
import pandas as pd

# Creating list to append tweet data to
attributes_container = []

# Using TwitterSearchScraper to scrape data and append tweets to list
for i,tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('sex for grades since:2021-07-05 until:2022-07-06').get_items()):
    if i>150:
        break
    attributes_container.append([tweet.user.username, tweet.date, tweet.likeCount, tweet.sourceLabel, tweet.content])
    
# Creating a dataframe to load the list
tweets_df = pd.DataFrame(attributes_container, columns=["User", "Date Created", "Number of Likes", "Source of Tweet", "Tweet"])

Nuevamente, puede acceder a una gran cantidad de datos históricos utilizando Snscrape (a diferencia de Tweepy, ya que su API estándar no puede exceder los 7 días. La API premium es de 30 días). Entonces podemos pasar la fecha a partir de la cual queremos comenzar la búsqueda y la fecha en la que queremos que finalice en el sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper()método.

Lo que hemos hecho en el código anterior es básicamente lo que discutimos antes. Lo único a tener en cuenta es que hasta funciona de manera similar a la función de rango en Python (es decir, excluye el último entero). Entonces, si desea obtener tweets de hoy, debe incluir el día después de hoy en el parámetro "hasta".

¡Ahora también sabes cómo raspar tweets con Snscrape!

Cuándo usar cada enfoque

Ahora que hemos visto cómo funciona cada método, es posible que se pregunte cuándo usar cuál.

Bueno, no existe una regla universal sobre cuándo utilizar cada método. Todo se reduce a una preferencia de materia y su caso de uso.

Si desea adquirir un sinfín de tweets, debe usar Snscrape. Pero si desea utilizar funciones adicionales que Snscrape no puede proporcionar (como la geolocalización, por ejemplo), definitivamente debería utilizar Tweepy. Se integra directamente con la API de Twitter y proporciona una funcionalidad completa.

Aun así, Snscrape es el método más utilizado para el raspado básico.

Conclusión

En este artículo, aprendimos cómo extraer datos de Python usando Tweepy y Snscrape. Pero esto fue solo una breve descripción de cómo funciona cada enfoque. Puede obtener más información explorando la web para obtener información adicional.

He incluido algunos recursos útiles que puede usar si necesita información adicional. Gracias por leer.
