BEARER_TOKEN gives me an error because of the environment

[M_N_K]

Hello,

My system is a Windows system and I’m writing my code in Python 3.7 Jupyter Notebook.
Currently, I’m using the code from the Twitter lab Github.

I create .env file in the same folder of the code.
berertwitter.IPYNB
As this picture

Here is my.env file

I guess the problem with the quotation marks.

import requests
import os
import json


from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()


# To set your enviornment variables in your terminal run the following line:
 #export 'BEARER_TOKEN'='<your_bearer_token>'
print(os.environ)

def auth():
    return os.environ.get('BEARER_TOKEN')


def create_url():
    return "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/sample/stream"


def create_headers(bearer_token):
    headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer {}".format(bearer_token)}
    return headers


def connect_to_endpoint(url, headers):
    response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, stream=True)
    print(response.status_code)
    for response_line in response.iter_lines():
        if response_line:
            json_response = json.loads(response_line)
            print(json.dumps(json_response, indent=4, sort_keys=True))
    if response.status_code != 200:
        raise Exception(
            "Request returned an error: {} {}".format(
                response.status_code, response.text
            )
        )


def main():
    bearer_token = auth()
    url = create_url()
    headers = create_headers(bearer_token)
    timeout = 0
    while True:
        connect_to_endpoint(url, headers)
        timeout += 1


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The error I got as follows
401
{
“detail”: “Unauthorized”,
“status”: 401,
“title”: “Unauthorized”,
“type”: “about:blank”
}

Please any advice for solving this issue …

first make sure it was installed correctly,

pip install python-dotenv

Or, in a notebook cell you can do this with an exclamation mark at the start of the command (only needs to be done once)

!pip install python-dotenv

After that you sometimes need to restart the notebook kernel.

Also, - i notice you have file type extensions hidden. I suspect your env file is not named correctly. It appears it’s called .env.txt which will fail to load. Turn on showing file extensions in windows and change it to .env

You are right the file was text not .env
Thank you
