如何通过tweepy获取Twitter用户的位置？

Question

I am starting to make a python program to get user locations, I've never worked with the twitter API and I've looked at the documentation but I don't understand much. I'm using tweepy, can anyone tell me how I can do this? I've got the basics down, I found a project on github on how to download a user's tweets and I understand most of it.

Answer 1

Once you have the twitter (JSON) search results, you can extract the location information, if it's available. Not all twitter users have included their location information.

for tweet in results:
    print(tweet.get('user', {}).get('location', {}))

After analyzing the twitter API responses for various queries, I think getting the tweet location is not possible since the API does not include it in the JSON response.

Answer 2

Once you have a tweet, the tweet includes a user, which belongs to the user model. To call the location just do the following

tweet.user.location

Answer 3

I don't believe that Tweepy can get user location data; have you had a look the documentation ?

You may be better off with Twython which can call the get statuses/user_timeline API call?

Also bear in mind that for privacy reasons twitter won't give you a lat/long for users; the user has their location made less accurate, usually referencing their "neighborhood".
