Tweepy (Python) and Oauth (Twitter) Problem

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_token, consumer_secret)

When I run this line of tweepy code i run into two problems. I receive the code "Tweepy has no attribute OAuthHandler" despite that being in the docum开发者_StackOverflow中文版entation I found. One assumes that that would be valid code.

The second problem is that when I registered my app, I did not receive a consumer_ token. I'm not quite sure how to request a consumer token either.

First you have to get both the consumer_token and the consumer_secret. When you register the app it gives you a couple of strings you then use for authentication. The consumer_token is the Consumer Key string twitter provides you with, and then the consumer_secret is the Consumer Secret twitter provides you with.

Then when you call auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_token, consumer_secret) you have to have set both the consumer_token and the consumer_secret to the strings twitter provided you with. Then this should work.

1. Make sure you have

import tweepy

before you attempt to call any of its classes. That sounds like the main problem you are having.

1. You will need 2 sets of keys, the consumer keys, and the access tokens. Both are available on the https://dev.twitter.com/apps page where you have your registered app. The consumer keys are used by the OAuthHandler(), and the access tokens are used by set_access_token(). Please see this example of using OAuthHandler
