In this article we will see how we can get the number of lists a user has been added to. The listed_count attribute provides us with an integer denoting the number of public lists a user has been added to. Private lists are not counted.
In order to get the number number of public lists a user has been added to, we have to do the following :
- Identify the user ID or the screen name of the profile.
- Get the User object of the profile using the
get_user()
method with the user ID or the screen name.- From this object, fetch the listed_count attribute present in it.
Example 1: Consider the following profile :
We will use the user ID to fetch the user. The user ID of the above mentioned profile is 57741058.
# 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 user id = 57741058 # fetching the user user = api.get_user( id ) # fetching the listed_count listed_count = user.listed_count print ( "The number of lists the user has been added to are : " + str (listed_count)) |
Output :
The number of lists the user has been added to are : 141
Example 2: Consider the following profile :
We will use the screen name to fetch the user. The screen name of the above mentioned profile is PracticeGfG.
# the screen name of the user screen_name = "PracticeGfG" # fetching the user user = api.get_user(screen_name) # fetching the listed_count listed_count = user.listed_count print ( "The number of lists the user has been added to are : " + str (listed_count)) |
Output :
The number of lists the user has been added to are : 6
