Twitter is a popular social network where users share messages called tweets. Twitter allows us to mine the data of any user using Twitter API or Tweepy. The data will be tweets extracted from the user. The first thing to do is get the consumer key, consumer secret, access key and access secret from twitter developer available easily for each user. These keys will help the API for authentication.
API.lists_all()
The lists_all() method of the API class in Tweepy module is used to fetch all the lists of a user.
Syntax : API.lists_all(parameters)
Parameters :
- user_id : ID of the user.
- screen_name : screen name of the user.
If there is no parameter, the lists of the authenticated user will be fetched.
Returns : a list of objects of class List
Example 1 : Using the lists_all() method without any parameter.
# 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) # fetching all the lists list = api.lists_all() # counting the number of lists print("The authenticated user has " + str(len(list)) + " list(s).") |
Output :
The authenticated user has 1 list(s).
Example 2 : Getting the lists of another user.
# the screen name user screen_name = "neveropen" # fetching all the lists list = api.lists_all(screen_name) # counting the number of lists print("The user " + screen_name + " has " + str(len(list)) + " list(s).") |
