Python code to connect to twitter search API – Twitter API

I’m new to Python and am very confused on how to begin this assignment:

Write Python code to connect to Twitter search API at:

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json

with at least the following parameters:

q for a search topic of your interest;

count to 100 for 100 records

to retrieve twitter data and assign the data to a variable.

I already created the app to access Twitter’s API. Thanks.

    Just as a hint, you might want to use tweepy for this. They have very good documentation and its much easier than trying to reinvent the wheel.

    I had this same issue. According to Twitter, you must register an account to even use basic search features of public tweets and there is no way around it. I followed the guide for the complete setup here and can confirm it works

    Edit: the article is for php, but changing it to python shouldn’t be very difficult. It has all the methods outlined in the article
