These keys will help the API for authentication.
API.destroy_saved_search()
The destroy_saved_search() method of the API class in Tweepy module is used to delete a saved search for the authenticated user.
Syntax : API.destroy_saved_search(id)
Parameter :
- id : the ID of the saved search to be destroyed.
Returns : an object of class SavedSearch
Example 1 : Deleting a saved search.
# import the module import tweepy # assign the values accordingly consumer_key = "" consumer_secret = "" access_token = "" access_token_secret = "" # authorization of consumer key and consumer secret auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret) # set access to user's access key and access secret auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret) # calling the api api = tweepy.API(auth) print("The number of saved searches before destroy_saved_search() : ", end = "") print(len(api.saved_searches())) # query of the saved search id = 1269510986496569349 # deleting the saved search api.destroy_saved_search(id) print("The number of saved searches after destroy_saved_search() : ", end = "") print(len(api.saved_searches())) |
Output :
The number of saved searches before destroy_saved_search() : 5 The number of saved searches after destroy_saved_search() : 4
Example 2 : Deleting all the saved searches.
# fetching all the saved searhces saved_searches = api.saved_searches() print("The number of saved searches before destroy_saved_search() : ", end = "") print(len(saved_searches)) # deleting all the saved search for saved_search in saved_searches: api.destroy_saved_search(saved_search.id) print("The number of saved searches after destroy_saved_search() : ", end = "") print(len(api.saved_searches())) |
