从不带json对象的tweet ID获取Twitter用户ID

Question

Currently I am working on twitter data. I need to fetch twitter data with the tweet id and user id of the tweet. Unfortunately, I am able to fetch the tweet with tweet id only. But along with that I want to get the user id too. I am fetching the tweets by giving the query of the search type. By working with individual tweet id I am able to get the username and from that username I can get the user id . But this manual work for each tweet is too lenghty. Can't there be a way to get directly the user id from the tweet id .

I am using python with tweepy library.

code for search with tweepy. public_tweets = api.search(q="TheGhantas", lang ="en", count = 200) public_tweets.id_str is returning me the tweet id and this is helping me to get the tweet username. And from that username, I am getting the user id . Can there be a simple way to get directly the user id from tweet ids if I have a file with tweet ids ?

Answer 1

Yes, it is very simple.

You look up the Tweet using statuses/show . That will return the Tweet object as JSON.

Inside that JSON you will find the user object.

Here is a shortened example:

{
  "created_at": "Wed Jun 06 20:07:10 +0000 2012",
  "id_str": "210462857140252672",
  "text": "Along with our new #Twitterbird, we've also updated our Display Guidelines ^JC",
  "id": 210462857140252672,
  "user": {
    "name": "Twitter API",
    "id_str": "6253282",
    "statuses_count": 3333,
    "screen_name": "twitterapi"
  },
}

Depending on how you're getting the JSON, it's as simple as going tweet->user->screen_name
