Example 1 :
# 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) # the ID of the list list_id = # screen name of the user to be added screen_name = "neveropen" print("Number of members before add_list_member() is used : " + str(api.get_list(list_id = list_id).member_count)) # adding the user to the list api.add_list_member(list_id = list_id, screen_name = screen_name) print("Number of members after add_list_member() is used : " + str(api.get_list(list_id = list_id).member_count)) |
Output :
Number of members after add_list_member() is used : 0 Number of members after add_list_member() is used : 1
Example 2 : Adding multiple users to a list.
# the ID of the non-existent list list_id = # add the following users to the list users = ["neveropen", "PracticeGfG", "GeeksQuiz", "hackerrank"] print("Number of members before add_list_member() is used : " + str(api.get_list(list_id = list_id).member_count)) # adding the users to the list for screen_name in users: api.add_list_member(list_id = list_id, screen_name = screen_name) print("Number of members after add_list_member() is used : " + str(api.get_list(list_id = list_id).member_count)) |
Output :
Number of members before add_list_member() is used : 0 Number of members after add_list_member() is used : 4
