How to perform oauth when doing twitter scraping w

问题:

I am trying to retrieve 100 recent tweets of a user. It is working well with tweepy module in Python. But how can I do the same with requests in python. I want to do:

import requests
r = requests.get('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=xxxx&count=100')

Here how to do the authentication with client key, client secret, access token and access secret, before sending this request?

You can use requests-oauthlib as described in requests docs.

OAuth:

import requests
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1
url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json'
auth = OAuth1(API_KEY, API_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
requests.get(url, auth=auth)

Get tweets:

r = requests.get('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=stackoverflow&count=100', auth=auth)
for tweet in r.json():
  print tweet['text']
