问题:

I am using Twython library for tweets acquisition. but most of the tweets are not complete and end with a short URL where the whole tweet is present. Is there any way that I can get through it. here is the sample code:

results=twitter.search(q="python")
all_tweets=results['statuses']
for tweet in all_tweets:
    print(tweet['text'])

回答1:

In order to see the extended tweet you just need to supply this parameter to your search query: tweet_mode=extended.

Then, you will find the extended tweet in the full_text field of the returned tweet. I don't work in Python, but based on the documentation I think you should do something like:

results = twitter.search(q='pizza', tweet_mode='extended')
for result in results['statuses']:
    print(result['full_text'])

You're fetching only the Tweet text (content of the tweet itself), if you look at results['statuses'] object you'll see all tweets you've fetched, and if you print your tweet object, you'll get all the metadata relate to it. I wrote a blog post on how to use Twython with Twitter search API, https://pythonstack.org/2017/12/collecting-data-from-twitter-rest-search-api-using-python/ I hope you find it helpful.
