Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Api

✓ from twitter import Api

✗ from twitter.api import Api

Wrong: Api is exposed at the top-level package, not submodule.

Authenticate and post a tweet.

from twitter import Api consumer_key = os.environ.get('TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY', '') consumer_secret = os.environ.get('TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET', '') access_token_key = os.environ.get('TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY', '') access_token_secret = os.environ.get('TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET', '') api = Api(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, access_token_secret) status = api.PostUpdate('Hello world!') print(status.text)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v3.0+, Python 2 support was dropped. Ensure you are using Python 3.

fix

Use Python 3.6+.

affects: >=3.0

deprecatedApi.PostMedia() is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Api.PostUpdate() with media parameter instead.

fix

Replace PostMedia() with PostUpdate() and pass media as an argument.

affects: >=3.2

gotchaThe library previously used a different OAuth flow. Make sure you are using the correct set of keys (API key, API secret key, Access token, Access token secret).

fix

Use consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, access_token_secret as shown in quickstart.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'Api' from 'twitter'

Incorrect import path - trying to import from the top-level 'twitter' package instead of direct import.

fix

Use 'from twitter import Api' (not 'import twitter' then 'twitter.Api').

twitter.error.TwitterError: [{u'message': u'Could not authenticate you', u'code': 32}]

Invalid or missing OAuth credentials.

fix

Double-check your consumer key/secret and access token/secret. Ensure they are for the same Twitter App and user.
