Python tweepy：仅在机器人启动后才发推文

Question

I want to write bot that searches for tweets after the bot starts. If the tweet has been tweeted before the bot starts working, the bot should ignore it. I have this code right now:

I am using Python and tweepy .

for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.mentions_timeline,
        since_id=since_id).items():
        new_since_id = max(tweet.id, new_since_id)

I don't know how to implement it, I thought about use time function and compare it with the time right now, but I don't know hot to get the time of the tweet.

Answer 1

Twitter's API doesn't allow for searching for tweets by time. You would have to compare the tweet's created_at attribute to the time at which your bot started.
