Live twitter feed.

Hello friends , today we will be working with Twitter API .

I will be showing you that how you can use twitter API to get the live feeds to any thing from twitter.

In order to access the twitter api we need its module which is already available either you can pip install this using below command

pip install tweepy

Or you can download from python library.

But in order to use the Api to need to have four keys which you can get by registering your self to the twitter developer page.

consumer_key
consumer_secret
access_token
access_token_secret

	from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function
	import sys
	from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
	from tweepy import OAuthHandler
	from tweepy import Stream
	from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
	import json
	import re
	# Get the below Key from Twitter developer page.
	consumer_key=""
	consumer_secret=""
	access_token=""
	access_token_secret=""
	class StdOutListener(StreamListener):
	def on_data(self, data):
	#print(data)
	non_bmp_map = dict.fromkeys(range(0x10000, sys.maxunicode + 1), 0xfffd)
	harry = json.loads(data)
	print(harry["created_at"])
	text=harry["text"]
	encoded = text.encode("utf-8", errors='ignore')
	#print(encoded)
	sentence=text_clensing(encoded)
	print(sentence)
	print("============================================================================")
	return True
	def on_error(self, status):
	print(status)
	##harry unit to find the clean text
	def text_clensing(a):
	new_str = a.decode("utf-8")
	filter(lambda x:x[0]!='@', new_str.split())
	result_temp1=" ".join(filter(lambda x:x[0]!='@', new_str.split()))
	filter(lambda x:x[0]!='#', result_temp1.split())
	result_temp2=" ".join(filter(lambda x:x[0]!='#', result_temp1.split()))
	pattern = re.compile('http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+')
	result=pattern.sub('', result_temp2)
	return result
	if __name__ == '__main__':
	l = StdOutListener()
	auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
	auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
	stream = Stream(auth, l)
	stream.filter(track=['TimesNow'])
