Tweepy 不检索旧的提及

Question

I'm on an academic twitter API license and I am trying to retrieve older mentions of particular users using Tweepy. When I add my start_time en end_time parameters to the query for a random user ID (in this case twitter.com/twitter), I get an empty response object that doesn't contain a single tweet. How can I get this to work?

# Replace with time period of your choice
start_time = '2017-01-01T00:00:00Z'

# Replace with time period of your choice
end_time = '2017-01-31T00:00:00Z'

mentions = client.get_users_mentions("783214", start_time=start_time, end_time=end_time, max_results=10)

Answer 1

The GET /2/users/:id/mentions endpoint (which is used by the get_users_mentions method) can return only the last 800 mentions. You can read that in the API documentation here .

But since you have an academic access, you can use the GET /2/tweets/search/all endpoint (with the Tweepy search_all_tweets method ) to search for the public mentions of the user.

You can find help to build your query in the Twitter API documentation here .
