HTTP ERROR: 403 when using MyStreamer (page 121) #113
Description
I am trying to run the code on page 121 (with a modification that I had to make, see my pull request for details), having already authenticated and saved all my tokens/keys and assigned them to CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
But when I run
from twython import TwythonStreamer
# Appending data to a global variable is pretty poor form, but it makes
# the example much simpler
tweets = []
class MyStreamer(TwythonStreamer):
def on_success(self, data):
"""
What do we do when Twitter sends us data?
Here data will be a Python dict representing a tweet.
"""
# We only want to collect English-language tweets
if data.get('lang') == 'en':
tweets.append(data)
print(f"received tweet #{len(tweets)}")
# Stop when we've collected enough
if len(tweets) >= 100:
self.disconnect()
def on_error(self, status_code, data, headers=None):
print(status_code, data, headers)
self.disconnect()
stream = MyStreamer(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
# starts consuming public statuses that contain the keyword 'data'
stream.statuses.filter(track='data')
# if instead we wanted to start consuming a sample of *all* public statuses
# stream.statuses.sample()
top_hashtags = Counter(hashtag['text'].lower()
for tweet in tweets
for hashtag in tweet["entities"]["hashtags"])
print(top_hashtags.most_common(5))
it seems that on_error is called and therefore the following is the result of print(status_code, '\n\n', data, '\n\n', headers)

[]
but print(tweets) returns [], so tweets is not appended to. I am new to this stuff, but it seems like this error is telling me that I am not using the correct API or I don't have the correct permissions roughly speaking, or something like that. Checking my developer account, I do indeed have "elevated" access, so I think this should be working.
